The Confederation of the European Bicycle Industry (CONEBI) has released its data for 2016, comparing the performance of cycling markets between different European countries by looking at both manufacturing and sales data.
It shows that while production here remains low compared to other European countries, the volume of overall bicycle sales in Great Britain is beaten only by Germany.
Bicycle Sales in Europe
Just under 20 million bicycles (including EAPCs) were sold across Europe last year, of which 13 million were produced in Europe. Of that total 1,667,000 were electric bikes, an increase in units sold of just over 22% compared to sales figures for 2015.
According to the report, Great Britain accounted for 16% of all bicycle sales in 2016, second only to Germany’s 21%. Sales of electric bikes ranked Great Britain 7th with 5% of all EAPCs sold in Europe, behind Austria, Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany at the top with 36%.
