Abstract

In Bangladesh, bicycle exports are the largest exports in the country’s light engineering sector. Notably, bicycle exports account for 7.5 per cent of all light engineering exports (Kathuria & Malouche, 2016). In the global value chain (GVC) of bicycle production, Bangladesh focuses on assembling a large number of parts, with the manufacturing process being less energy-intensive. Currently, the leading producers of bicycles are in China, followed by Indonesia, India, and Japan (Veliu & Surabian, 2016). In Bangladesh, the bicycle export industry has emerged only recently. However, the bicycle manufacturing industry has significant potential in the global economy. The top destinations for bicycle exports from Bangladesh include the United Kingdom (64 per cent), Germany (14 per cent), and Belgium (9 per cent) (Kathuria & Malouche, 2016).
