Market Data Service: Mid-Year Report 2023
This 51 page report provides granular analysis of the challenges currently confronting the sector, with the total market value down 8% in the first half of 2023 vs 2022. The fall in volume of cycle sales impacted both mechanical and electric bikes, down 8% and 12% respectively.
Authored by the BA’s Head of Insights, John Worthington, the report finds that the first half of 2023 has seen a further deterioration in a market that in 2022 hit a 20-year low for mechanical bike sales. While the early summer saw an improvement to the underlying trend after a particularly tough start to the year, Worthington details the factors culminating in stock surplus challenges in the UK today.
