China is the global leader in electric bicycle manufacturing, not only having huge domestic market demand but also accounting for a major share of global supply. In China, there are a large number of electric bicycle manufacturers distributed in different market segments, ranging from high-end smart electric bicycles to mid-to-low-end products, meeting diversified consumer needs. Among them, the ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) model has become an important trend in the field of electric bicycle manufacturing. As a typical ODM manufacturer, PXID has emerged in the electric bicycle industry with its design innovation capabilities, technology research, and development advantages, and flexible customized services. This article will combine the overall manufacturing pattern of China's electric bicycles, taking PXID as an example, to explore its ODM model and its unique competitive advantages.
Overview of China’s electric bicycle manufacturing industry
After decades of development, China's electric bicycle industry has formed a complete industrial chain. The main manufacturing areas include Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places. These areas have abundant parts suppliers and mature manufacturing capabilities. China's electric bicycle manufacturers are divided into three categories: large brand manufacturers, companies focusing on ODM and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer, original equipment manufacturing) models, and small and medium-sized independent brand manufacturers.
