Riding protective gears are specifically used by riders to reduce the potential of injury while riding and enhance the motorcycling experience. As motorcyclists are usually exposed to all kinds of road debris, riding protective gear offers protection and comfort for riders. Riding protective gears include helmets, footwear, rain suits, gloves, goggles, jackets, riding suits, ear plugs, chest armor, safety vest, and elbow and knee guards.
The increasing popularity of bike riding and high awareness regarding personal safety are anticipated to be the major factors fueling the riding protective gear market globally in the future. Increasing incidences of traffic fatalities is another factor likely to influence the global riding protective gear market over the estimated time period. Factors responsible for traffic fatalities include drunk driving and driving after the consumption of psychoactive substances. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1.25 million people die annually in road traffic collisions. According to WHO, men are more likely to be involved in road accidents in comparison to women. About 73% of all road traffic deaths among males occur under the age of 25. Additionally, more than 90% road traffic deaths occur in low-and-middle-income countries. However, the increasing cost of riding protective gear might limit the global riding protective gear market in the future.
By type, the global riding protective gear market is segmented into helmets, jackets, knee pads, gloves, shoes, and others. Helmets are anticipated to dominate the global market in the upcoming years, owing to stringent regulations governing the compulsion of helmet usage globally. By application, the riding protective gear market is segmented into motorcycle, scooter, step-through, and others. Motorcycles are projected to grow substantially over the estimated timeframe, owing to the increasing popularity of motorcycle riding among women especially in urban areas. By distribution channel, the riding protective gear market includes specialty stores, mass merchandisers, and online retail. Online retail stores are expected to gain popularity over the forecast time period.
By region, the Asia Pacific riding protective gear market is projected to expand substantially over the forecast timeframe. This can be attributed to the improved infrastructural facilities in rural areas, rising per capita income, and an increasing number of racing events. Evolving economies, growing road and infrastructure development, increasing working women population, and stringent government regulations are anticipated to further drive the riding protective gear market over the forecast time period. North America is anticipated to show significant growth in the riding protective gear market, owing to increasing number of female riders that is helping in transforming the motorcycle culture in North America.
The European riding protective gear market is anticipated to show momentous growth amid the increasing number of moped and electric bike registrations in the region. The Middle Eastern and African and Latin American markets are projected to show sluggish growth over the estimated period, due to low consumer spending.
