Bike Helmet Market Trends

• Rising trend of cycling is driving the market growth

Due to the growing popularity of riding as a form of exercise to reduce obesity and enhance health, the market for bike helmets is expected to expand ly. The lack of stringent government regulations and guidelines requiring the use of safety equipment when riding bikes is blamed for the growth of the industry. Growing sustainability concerns are also acknowledged for their role in the rise of cycling around the world. Increased disposable income, increased purchasing power, increased bicycle riding activities, and other factors like increased bicycle sales are anticipated to cause a rise in the sales of cycling helmets over the anticipated time period and result in the expansion of the bike helmet market share. Furthermore, product improvements and innovations with improved safety features and an improved product look are supporting the market's expansion at this time.

Many motorcycle riders consider bike helmets to be crucial pieces of safety equipment. Additionally, a lot of bike helmet producers have been developing high-end features to entice customers to use helmets. Few manufacturers have helmets that can display GPS maps and the speedometer on the visor using built-in Augmented Reality (AR).

Growing consumer preference for cutting-edge technology has prompted many entrepreneurs to enter the bike helmet market and provide cutting-edge goods. The incidence of fake helmets is increasing, which continues to restrain market expansion. Helmets that are falsely marketed and sold at a significantly lower price are considered counterfeit or phony. A World Health Organization assessment estimates that each year, faulty, subpar automotive parts and gears cause up to 360,000 fatalities and 1.5 million injuries. Given that these goods are typically made using low-quality materials, the comfort and protection these helmets can offer their wearers may not be adequate. The existence of counterfeit goods influences how consumers view a brand. In Asian markets, particularly in China, Pakistan, and India, the circulation of fake helmets is more common.

In addition, there are already tens of thousands of fake helmets flooding Asian markets as a result of the rising demand for various sorts of helmets, including theme-based, athletic, designer, and sports helmets. 88.0% of counterfeit goods in the United States, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, come from China or Hong Kong. During the anticipated term, the market for helmets may not increase as quickly as anticipated due to the ease with which counterfeit goods can be found. Thus, driving the Bike Helmet market revenue.
