Additionally, the growing focus on sustainable transportation has driven the development of electric-assisted bikes with advanced battery technology and IoT features. According to recent reports, the electric-assisted cargo bike segment is projected to account for over 65% of the market share by 2030. In Germany, a leading cargo bike manufacturer announced the launch of a lightweight, electric-assisted cargo bike in H2 2023. This model features GPS tracking and real-time performance monitoring, setting a benchmark in the industry and enhancing the appeal of electric-assisted solutions. The production of electric-assisted cargo bikes is expected to reach 750,000 units annually by 2027, further fueling market growth.

Last-Mile Delivery is the largest segment

Last-mile delivery represents the largest segment in the cargo bike market due to its critical role in urban logistics and e-commerce growth. The increasing demand for efficient, eco-friendly delivery solutions has driven the adoption of cargo bikes in this segment. According to an article published by the International Transport Forum (ITF), the global volume of last-mile deliveries is expected to grow by 78% by 2030, underscoring the segment's dominance. Cargo bikes enhance delivery efficiency by navigating narrow streets and congested urban areas with ease. Furthermore, rising consumer awareness about sustainability and cost reduction has boosted the demand for cargo bikes in last-mile logistics. The integration of insulated containers and GPS-enabled tracking systems ensures that cargo bikes remain a preferred choice for urban delivery solutions.

APAC Dominates the market

The cargo bike market is dominated by the Asia-Pacific region, primarily due to the rapid growth of e-commerce in the region. Major countries such as China, Japan, India and South Korea are leading in the production and adoption of cargo bikes. According to the China Bicycle Association, China produced over 60 million bicycles in 2022, with a significant portion dedicated to cargo and electric bikes. Similarly, India is witnessing a surge in demand for cargo bikes driven by the expansion of delivery services and logistics companies. The increasing adoption of sustainable transportation solutions in densely populated cities is driving the market. Government initiatives promoting electric mobility and investments in cycling infrastructure are further boosting the demand for cargo bikes in the region.

Growing Demand for Sustainable Transportation to Drive the Market

The global market for sustainable transportation is expanding rapidly, with consumers seeking eco-friendly alternatives like cargo bikes for personal and commercial use. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the adoption of low-emission vehicles, including electric bikes, is expected to increase by over 35% by 2030. The increasing adoption of urban mobility solutions and government subsidies for electric vehicles have enabled cargo bikes to gain traction in both developed and developing regions. Electric-assisted cargo bikes ensure better efficiency, reduced emissions, and cost savings, addressing the growing demand for green transportation solutions. The market for electric cargo bikes is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.4%, reaching a value of $15 billion by 2030, as cities worldwide adopt eco-friendly transport options for last-mile deliveries and urban commuting.
