Description

The global bicycle protective gear market is valued at approximately USD 1,349.7 million in 2025 and is projected to reach about USD 1,749.5 million by 2031, a compound annual growth rate of 4.4% over 2025-2031. Europe is the largest region at about USD 630.5 million in 2025 (46.7% of global value), followed by North America at USD 398.4 million and Asia Pacific at USD 253.8 million, the fastest-growing major region at a 6.4% CAGR.

Helmets account for about 66% of 2025 value (USD 891.7 million), with gloves, armor and pads, and other protective gear making up the rest; armor and pads is the fastest-growing type at about 6.6% a year as mountain biking and e-bike participation expand. By application, road and urban cycling holds about 59% of value, while mountain biking and off-road gains share toward 31% by 2031. The bear and bull cases reach USD 1,486 million and USD 2,050 million in 2031.

The report is built bottom-up from regional bicycle units, gear attachment rates and manufacturer-level average selling prices, cross-checked against published helmet-market estimates. Ten companies are profiled. Most do not disclose protective-gear revenue, so company revenues are shown only where a named source reports them and otherwise print as n/a.
