More and More Investors Eyeing Bike Industry

AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands – Is it because of the e-Bike trend and the fact that with more electric bicycles sold more money is involved than ever before in the bike sector? Or has it to do with the ‘Green’ image of bicycles? Fact is that more investors than ever before are eyeing the bike sector nowadays.

The past years this trade journal occasionally got phone calls from people representing private equity firms. The past couple of weeks it’s been getting more serious as Wall Street-based financial consultants start calling. They represent not only institutional investors looking to take a stake in an established company, but also represent equity firms looking for takeovers.

Whether this interest will lead to significant shifts in the marketplace is not clear yet. But the fact that millions are available for investments tells something about the future of the bike sector.
