The Middle East & Africa bicycle market, with a 4.52% CAGR (2024-2029), is driven by environmental concerns, urban mobility challenges, and rising fitness trends.
The evolving perception of bicycles in the Middle East and Africa reflects a growing awareness of the challenges posed by traffic congestion, pollution, and health concerns. Traditionally viewed as primarily recreational or suitable for short trips, bicycles are now being recognized for their environmental and health benefits. In countries like Egypt, South Africa, and Morocco, there is a noticeable increase in the use of bicycles for commuting. Additionally, nations such as the UAE and Qatar are investing in cycling infrastructure to encourage a more sustainable and healthier lifestyle. A bicycle, which is a two-wheeled vehicle, powered by human pedalling, offers a simple and efficient transportation option. The benefits of cycling are substantial, including improved cardiovascular health, reduced stress levels, and effective weight management. Furthermore, cycling plays a crucial role in decreasing air pollution and traffic congestion in urban areas, making it a viable eco-friendly alternative to motor vehicles. In the context of rising fuel prices and urban sprawl, cycling is increasingly viewed as an affordable and practical solution. As more countries in the region establish dedicated cycling lanes and promote bike-sharing programs, the perception of bicycles is shifting towards recognizing them as an essential mode of transport for both leisure and daily commuting.

Additionally, the rising costs of fuel and the quest for affordable transport solutions are driving consumers towards bicycles for short-distance journeys.
