Bike-sharing provides both locals and tourists an easy, low-cost, efficient means of transportation around cities.

The significant factors impacting the growth of the bike-sharing market include the rise in venture capital investments in bike-sharing programs. Further, increasing government initiatives for the development of bike-sharing infrastructure, technological advancement in the bike-sharing system, and a rise in bike vandalism & theft also significantly impact the market. Each of these factors is anticipated to impact the bike-sharing market during the forecast period significantly.

In addition, the increase in the services offered by the leading market players, including Ola and Uber, and the option to choose convenient pick-up and drop locations are encouraging the consumers to opt for ride-hailing and ride-sharing services. Also, the significant rise in the number of ride-hailing and ride-sharing services such as bike-sharing and auto-sharing services, even for short-distance travel, fuels the growth of the bike-sharing market.

Restraints: High initial investment cost

In order to grab more market share in the initial stage of market entry, each brand tends to put large numbers of shared bikes into cities. Moreover, significant amounts of subsidies, such as free rides, cashback, and lottery entries, are given to customers as incentives to gain a competitive edge.

Moreover, a large amount of capital investment is required to set up the related infrastructure, such as parking zones for free-floating bikes, docked bike stations network, recharging docks for e-bikes, and others. For instance, electric bikes require battery charging or swapping facilities at bicycle docks. Therefore, the high initial investment cost to set up bike-sharing services is anticipated to hamper the market growth.
