  • 7.-Market-Brief-Sepeda-HS-8712
    RINGKASAN EKSEKUTIF Penggunaan sepeda pada kehidupan sehari-hari masyarakat Jepang dimulai sekitar tahun 1860-an. Pada saat itu, sepeda roda tiga banyak digunakan untuk mengangkut barang, khususnya di daerah pusat perdagangan, seperti Yokohama. Kemudian sekitar tahun 1879, sepeda terutama sepeda roda dua mulai digunakan sebagai alat transportasi. Saat ini terdapat sekitar 71,6 juta sepeda yang beredar di Jepang. Hampir seluruh rumah tangga di Jepang memiliki sepeda sebagai alat transportasinya. Pada tahun 2016, sekitar 87% rumah tangga di Jepang menggunakan sepeda untuk kehidupan sehari-hari, baik untuk berangkat ke sekolah dan tempat bekerja bahkan untuk berbelanja. Beberapa faktor yang membuat sepeda banyak disukai masyarakat Jepang antara lain: (i) biaya transportasi cenderung murah; (ii) udara di Jepang yang segar dan bersih; (iii) kondisi jalan yang mendukung dengan dibuatnya jalur khusus sepeda; (iv) didukung oleh fasilitas yang terintegrasi, seperti banyaknya parkir sepeda di tempat-tempat publik, seperti stasiun kereta api dan pusat perbelanjaan; dan (v) bersepeda dianggap sebagai aktivitas yang menyehatkan. Sepeda jenis “Mamachari” merupakan bentuk sepeda yang paling diminati masyarakat Jepang. Mamachari atau “mom’s bicycle” pada awalnya diperuntukan bagi kelompok ibu rumah tangga dimana fitur dalam sepeda meliputi keranjang, kunci sepeda yang sederhana, kickstand, memiliki satu gigi sepeda dan seringkali ditambahkan tempat duduk tambahan untuk anak-anak. Dengan fitur yang praktis tersebut, maka berbagai kalangan, seperti pelajar dan pekerja di Jepang juga kerap menggunakan mamachari. Pada tahun 2017, produksi domestik sepeda Jepang menurun sebesar 5,2% dari 939 ribu unit pada tahun 2016 menjadi 891 ribu unit. Namun, secara nilai, produksi cenderung meningkat sebesar 4,4% dari 53 juta JPY tahun 2016 menjadi 56 juta JPY.
