The Bangladesh Bicycle & Parts Manufacturer and Exporter's Association (BBPMEA) stands as the apex trade association for bicycle and spare parts manufacturers and exporters in Bangladesh. Since our establishment in 2003, The association has been the driving force behind one of the country's most promising export sub-sectors within the light engineering industry.
Our association is dedicated to promoting and facilitating the bicycle and parts industry through strategic policy advocacy, comprehensive member services, joint venture facilitation, and ensuring workers' legitimate rights while maintaining social compliance standards for sustainable growth in foreign exchange earnings.
The bicycle industry serves as a crucial sub-sector of Light Engineering Products in Bangladesh, providing both backward and forward linkages that fuel growth in many other industries. The sector produces a diverse range of high-quality bicycles and spare parts that meet both domestic and international demand.
Export-oriented bicycle and parts industries are strategically located in and around Gazipur, Mirzapur, Hobigonj & Sylhet, forming a robust manufacturing cluster that benefits from shared infrastructure and expertise.
The sector has received the highest attention in government export policies as a special development sector. Light Engineering Products were declared "Product of the Year-2020" with a vision to encourage sustained growth in this sub-sector.
Bangladesh ranks as the 2nd among largest non-EU exporter of bicycles to the European Union and the 8th largest exporter globally. We held the 5th position among largest exporters to EU countries in 2010, maintaining strong market presence since then.
As we look toward the future, BBPMEA remains committed to positioning Bangladesh as a global leader in bicycle manufacturing while maintaining our focus on sustainable development, worker welfare, and environmental responsibility. Our vision extends beyond mere export growth to encompass the creation of a robust, technologically advanced industry that contributes meaningfully to Bangladesh's economic transformation.
