ZEIST, the Netherlands - The last five years have shown that the bicycle industry is lacking key economic indicators on a global level. The peak in sales in 2020-2021, followed by a market adjustment in 2022 and combined with an extremely high level of orders, resulted in an exceptional surplus of inventory.

The bicycle industry currently lacks the information needed to identify future market trends and a sourcing benchmark. Eurobike and Bike Europe will close this gap together in cooperation with the market research institute IFH Cologne in Germany.

HANNOVER, Germany - At the April industrial engineering trade show Hannover Messe 2025, Giant Group and Siemens announced their collaboration to produce a new generation of performance e-bikes and road bikes.
