In conjunction, they introduce the Global Bicycle Purchasing Index (GBPI), which will inform the sector on market sentiment and provide the essential benchmark for business decision-making. The Global Bicycle Purchasing Index will gauge market sentiment among purchasing and product managers.
An essential tool for making business decisions
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 inventory crisis. The industry has still not overcome this fluctuation. An industry-dedicated Global Bicycle Purchasing Index (GBPI) would have softened this financial blow.
The Global Bicycle Purchasing Index (GBPI) provides:
- Early access to real-time indicators
- Benchmarking across global regions
- Strategic foresight for developments in the supply chain
A key economic indicator like the Global Bicycle Purchasing Index (GBPI) is still unknown to the international e-bike and bicycle industry. Based on surveys of purchasing and product managers, the Global Bicycle Purchasing Index is the tool that assesses the industry's overall health and performance.
The Global Bicycle Purchasing Index (GBPI) anticipates need-to-know information for company management of:
- Component manufacturers
- OEMs
- E-bike and bicycle brands
- Large retail companies
- Market analysts
- Consultants
- Industry organisations
