Textsize:

Monday, September 26, 2011

According to EU’s data bureau Eurostat close to 9.3 million bikes were imported into the European Union’s markets from countries outside Europe; mainly Asia. Compared to the 8.5 million bicycles imported in 2009, this represents a 9.6% increase. The average value per imported bike stood at €112.65; up 7.8% on the €104.50 average value in 2009. The close to 8% increase is on par with the increase in sales prices for bicycles recorded in 2010 due to higher labour costs in China and an increase in material costs.
