Industry Braces as Accell, Shimano Costs Shake Supply Chains
Editor's take
現在台灣廠商擔心的是 Accell 把大量既有、被壓住沒辦法組車的零件倒到市場裡面來。如果是這樣的話，會一瞬間讓台灣這邊的訂單又受到影響。
The bicycle industry faces a confluence of pressures heading into the critical autumn ordering season: Accell Group's unresolved bankruptcy is freezing dealer decisions on 2027 model-year commitments, while Shimano's surprise 3% surcharge on mid-2026 deliveries adds a fresh cost burden across the supply chain. Taiwan-linked manufacturers and their retail partners are caught between margin erosion and the urgent need for sourcing alternatives. The launch of the Global Bicycle Procurement Index signals the industry's intent to build better data infrastructure — lessons drawn directly from the inventory crisis that helped sink Accell.
