The Market Data Service provides the only accurate, up to date and usable UK cycle market retail analysis. It polls sales monthly from 70% of the market, from the largest chains to the smallest specialist stores, including both bricks-and-mortar and online. MDS is a powerful tool both to help businesses improve their bottom line performance and to help the Bicycle Association, as the industry’s national trade body, influence national and local Government on policies which support market growth.

HELPING BUSINESSES TO BECOME STRONGER
Market data helps businesses understand real underlying consumer buying patterns better and through benchmarking, enables opportunities and issues to be identified, right down to a granular level where it’s needed.
Buying, Forecasting, Sales and Marketing teams can all make better informed decisions with market data to hand. Understanding your performance versus the market is key to growing sales and improving your profitability.

HELPING US TO BE INFLUENTIAL
For many years national and local government have been coming to terms with three big societal challenges: congestion, pollution and obesity.
Cycling is uniquely placed to tackle all three and the urgent need to decarbonise our economy has only accelerated the importance of raising cycling levels to play a substantial role in the transport mix.
Yet in comparison to the road and rail lobbies, we’ve historically struggled to gain the attention which the cycling case deserves. Good data and quantitative insight has a huge role to play here, supporting our wider advocacy work.
The above access choices are all available for businesses selling to UK consumers. Pricing is based on your choice of access level and your UK market cycling-related turnover level. A Subscriber must anonymously contribute any consumer sales data (D2C) for the UK market where it has it to get access. Dashboard access is possible either via your web browser or tablet/phone app.
*Brands with D2C sales greater than 50% can choose to be anonymous on the basis all other brand performance is restricted.

"I particularly find the ability to track trends useful – especially when talking to external stakeholders / investors. The new dashboard is much easier to use and more insightful. And now that brands and retailers can view how the data is made up and help improve it, this is a game-changer that will really help the industry get a much better steer on true demand and how much we should produce."
Nikki Hawyes, CEO Whyte Bikes
