SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 3, 2025 – Big changes are rolling into the global cycling market, as Eurobike and Bike Europe team up with IFH Cologne to launch the first-ever Global Bicycle Purchasing Index (GBPI) — a powerful new tool that promises to reshape how the industry navigates challenges, predicts trends, and makes smart decisions.
For cycling enthusiasts and industry insiders alike, this new index offers more than just numbers. It’s about bringing clarity and confidence to a sector that’s been riding through unpredictable terrain. With the GBPI, everyone from bike brands to market analysts can now tap into real-time insights that reflect true market sentiment — a long-missing piece of the industry puzzle.
Why the GBPI Matters to Everyone Who Rides or Sells
The cycling world has seen major highs and lows in recent years — from the 2020–2021 sales boom to the inventory crises that followed. As demand surged and then shifted, the lack of reliable data left many businesses scrambling.
The GBPI is designed to fix that.
- It collects and analyzes real-world data from purchasing and product managers.
- It serves as a key economic indicator tailored to the bicycle and e-bike sectors.
- It offers early signals on supply chain trends and demand shifts.
“An industry-dedicated Global Bicycle Purchasing Index (GBPI) would have softened this problem,” organizers note, referring to the recent market turmoil. With this tool in place, businesses are better equipped to avoid overstocking or misjudging consumer demand.

Whether you're a rider waiting for the next innovation or a brand deciding what to produce, the GBPI is set to be a game-changer. It supports:
- Company leaders at brands, OEMs, and component manufacturers
- Large-scale retailers and distributors
- Market analysts and consultants
- Industry associations and stakeholders
By benchmarking across global regions and offering strategic foresight, the index helps businesses plan more effectively and adapt to shifts in the market — all based on real feedback from those directly involved in bicycle production and purchasing.
