Did you know? The global cycling Market is valued at €38.5 Billion (2013). 21,000,000 bikes are sold annually in Europe and 13,000,000 are produced in the EU. On average, Europeans own more bikes than any other means of transport. For this reason it’s safe to say that cycling is especially popular in Europe! If you’re interested in targeting new global markets why not give cycling niches a try?

What countries have the most biking enthusiasts?

If you’re not sure where to start with European biking niches take a look at the UK, France, Germany and Italy. On Facebook you can see the potential reach for these audiences who are interested in Mountain Biking in Europe.

• UK: 3.7 million
• France: 1.6 million
• Germany: 1.5 million
• Italy: 1.4 million

After the UK, Germany comes in with the most European sales for Mountain Biking, then Italy and France. 
If you’re new to EU markets we’d suggest starting off with the UK; it’s easy to adapt US designs for UK markets! In the UK mountain bike enthusiasts roll up at an estimated 1.3 million of the population, regular trail cyclists are estimated at 1.2 million and casual riders are 3 million – that’s a lot of potential buyers!

We know the UK is one of Teespring EU’s top buying markets – followed by Germany and France too. Since we also know that cycling is a popular hobby in Germany, France and Italy…it would be a good idea to translate your designs and ad copy and expand your potential buyer market!

Since the holiday season is fast approaching, be sure to get your campaigns rolling and help plan a gift for your mountain biking/cycling buyers/gifters with a warm hoodie to keep them cool for their journeys on their bikes, a tote bag to carry or a mug for those cosy night by the fire with a warm cup of coco. Let them tell everyone their passion with Teespring products!
