Organized by Annex Media in collaboration with NuernbergMesse India, the event is expected to set new benchmarks in the National Capital Region of India.
India is the second-largest manufacturer of bicycles in the world and has been pedalling to decadal high demand growth. Given the global boom in this Industry, manufacturers of bikes and related components are re-organizing supply chains to meet the rising demand and making them more affordable. At present, there are 100+ international brands in India and the Industry has the potential to grow 3 times from 1.3 Billion USD to 3.5 Billion USD by 2030. The future of the electric bicycle (e-bike) market in India looks promising with opportunities in the areas of travelling, exercise/fitness, and recreational activities. The e-cycle market in India was valued at USD 1.02 million in 2020 and is expected to double to USD 2.08 million by 2026, projecting a CAGR of 12.69 per cent during the forecast period (2021-2026).
CFOSE is the most focused platform for the bicycle Industry for networking, meeting new dealers and buyers while observing the latest trends and innovations. The event aims to create value addition for the industry which is on a solid growth trajectory and is positioned to grow substantially in the coming years. ENGINEERING EXPORT PROMOTION COUNCIL OF INDIA, trade and investment promotion organization for the engineering sector under the aegis of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry will facilitate B2B meetings of exhibitors with overseas buyers as the Trade Partner at CFOSE.
CFOSE will play a major role in introducing global perspectives to the present component-producing SMEs that are largely informal and unorganized, using conventional and mostly manual technology. Manufacturers still struggle to rightly utilize the special components, automation, and cutting-edge production technology. The event will emerge as a meeting place where the technologies of the future can be discussed.
The CFOSE CURTAIN RAISER was held recently on June 17, 2022, at Park Plaza Hotel, Ludhiana to discuss the future of sustainable mobility and the role of CFOSE as an Industry Integrator - connecting the manufacturers and dealers, the domestic and international markets and most importantly the entire bicycle fraternity. The event was attended by industry veterans representing leading cycle as well as component brands.

While underlining India's importance in the restructured global supply chain, they also highlighted the need for the industry to invest in Research and Development and market awareness to push the sector to even greater heights.
