The market size for bicycles in the UK is over 1.5 billion pounds. There are about 2,703 bicycle retailers
in UK who are operating their business over decades now. According to a research by IBISWorld UK, the
industry of bicycle retailers had a growth of 3.4% in the past 5 years from 2015-2020. Therefore, with
variety of bicycles from Mountain bikes to Children bikes they have a very good potential for doing
business in UK. It will be a bit competitive but at the same time will be much favorable.
Distribution Channels
From 2015 december Duranta bicycles had a contract with one of the largest bicycle retailing company
Acctel in UK. Annually they produce about 250,000 units of various kinds of bicycles for Acctel.
Then comes Sports Direct, which is also one of the prominent sport brands of UK. And the import
Bicycles from Duranta group as well. The kind of Bicycles they produce specially for Sports direct are
Muddy fox Synergy, Muddyfox Energy and Muddyfox Recoil. Muddy fox is an old bicycle brand of UK
which imports Mountain bikes from Duranta bicycles
And then Duranta also produces Mountain bikes for UK’s one of the leading home and general
merchandise retailer, Argos. And that’s how they look like. They are called Hyper Revo and Hyper
Detonate.
Increasing health consciousness has positively affected the industry as more people are now willing to
work on their health like they have never done before. I have known from a survey that 20% of the
people out of 67% who used to travel by bus or metro to their respective work stations before covid has
now chosen bicycles as their daily driver to commute to their work stations. And that is what exactly is
happening in most of the parts of the world
Competitive products
Few stationary bikes are now being manufactured by Rutland Water cycling limited and they are in huge
demand after covid. Most people go for stationary bikes instead of regular bicycles due to the danger of
cycling on roads with high levels of pollution, especially the elder citizens of UK who are much likely to
get in an accident if they are riding bicyles in the streets. In my opinion stationary bikes are the only
substitute of our product in the UK.
Advertising Media
There are no major advertising media for Duranta bicycles in UK since their products are made use of by
other companies by their name. And they all have their individual advertising agency.
Demographics
According to a survey by Bike Europe group in 2017, about 30% of Mountain bikes and 30% of Children
bikes are being sold in UK. Which means Duranta bicycles still has a large market for their Children bikes
and mountain bikes.
A recent survey also showed that for about 2,000 commuters by switching from car, bus, tube or train to
e-bikes, commuters could save an average of £7,791 over five years. So in the coming years, Duranta
bicycles should come with new technologies to manufacture stationary and Ebikes since they are in
great demand by elderly people and regular commuters who travel by local transport in UK.
