Industry Definition:
The Automotive industry in India is one of the largest in the world and one of the fastest growing globally. India manufactures over 18 million vehicles (including 2 wheeled and 4 wheeled) and exports more than 2.3 million every year. Market share of 2-wheelers is about 75%; passenger cars have market share of 16% & commercial vehicles & three wheelers share about 9%. 2 W Industry is divided into three segments viz. Motorcycles, Scooters & Mopeds.
Evolution of the Indian Two Wheeler Industry before Competition Act, 2002: The two-wheeler industry consists of three segments viz., scooters, motorcycles, and mopeds. The 2WI in India began operations within the framework of the national industrial policy as espoused by the Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956. The net of controls on the economy in the seventies caused several firms to a) operate below the minimum efficiency scale, b) under-utilize capacity and, c) use outdated technology. A description of the evolution of the two wheeler industry in India before Competition Act, 2002 is usefully split up into four ten year periods. This division traces significant changes in economic policy making. The first time-period, 1960-1969, was one during which the growth of the two-wheeler industry was fostered through means like permitting foreign collaborations and phasing out of non-manufacturing firms in the industry. The period 1970-1980 saw state controls, through the use of the licensing system and certain regulatory acts over the economy, at their peak. During 1981-1990 significant reforms were initiated in the country. The final time-period covers the period 1991-1999 during which the reform process was deepened.

HIGH RAW MATERIAL COST: Raw Material accounts for about 85% of the total cost. Manufacturers in the past have struggled to pass on this cost to customers. For e.g. in 2008-9 due to increase in raw material costs, manufactures faced a lot of pressure. DEMAND BEHAVIOUR: Replacement Demand in another important characteristic of the Industry. According to the estimates 50% of the customers are new buyers, 30% are those looking for upgradation and another 20% are those looking for a second vehicle for the household. INDUSTRY COMPOSITION: The industry if fairly consolidated. Top three players account for over 30% of the market. Entry of new players and imports has created competition in the industry.
Growth Drivers:
Rising GDP in India has bolstered the affordability of two wheelers. Because of rising income levels, people are able to afford two wheelers. Moreover, the penetration of two wheelers in India is 36% which is on lower side in comparison to other developing economies. Like Indonesia, Brazil etc. This also is a reason for the good growth witnessed by the sector in last few years. Moreover, there is difference in penetration between rural & urban areas also. The difference is almost of three times i.e. the penetration in urban areas in almost three time that in rural areas. This has led to a change in focus of all the companies operating in the industry. Rural India has become the new selling point for the industry. India has a huge young population that offers large opportunity to the OEMs. The average age stands at 25 years which is 9 years younger than China and as much as 12-15 years younger than developed economies. The younger population in India is looking for products in premium segments and that is why now the OEMs are focussing more on this segment. The rising GDP is also leading to a huge replacement demand which is another factor favouring the growth of the industry. All these factors collectively are bolstering the growth of the segment. In addition to these demand side factors, there are also certain supply side factors which have contributed to the solid growth of the segments. These are:

India OEMs have made huge investments in improving the installed capacity to match the demand in the market. The top three players have made an investment of almost 3700 crores in sing 2006-07 in their manufacturing units. Moreover, the demand for products of a particular OEM is also dependent on the service level provided by the OEM. Hence, all OEMs are focussing on improving the touch points across rural & urban markets. Earlier, availability of credit was an important factor for the industry. But, this has changed in recent years as availability of finance no longer a critical for sales culmination. Certain new players have entered the industry e.g. Mahindra & Mahindra, Harley Davidson etc. which has increased the competition and has helped consumers as better products are available now with lower prices. This has also led to an increase in innovation by various OEMs. Exports are a very lucrative avenue for Indian OEMs given low cost manufacturing & reliable quality of Indian products. The exports have increased by CAGR of 25% in the period between 2005-06 to 2010-11. BAL is the largest exporter followed by TVS Motors. Moreover the two wheeler mode of transport is still the cheapest mode of transportation. In present scenario of increasing fuel prices this factor has also contributed to the growth of the industry. According to a study by Crisil, following data pertains to the economics of various modes of transports.

Ansoff Matrix
Ansoff matrix helps a firm decide their market growth as well as product growth strategies. The 2 questions which the Ansoff Matrix can answer are How can we grow in the existing markets and What amends can be made in the product portfolio to have better growth. The matrix is divided in two quadrants The product quadrant and the market quadrant. The Product quadrant on the X axis is further divided into Existing products and new products. The market scenario on the Y axis is divided into existing markets and new markets. Thus the Ansoff matrix divides a firm on the basis of the products it has existing products or new products, as well as the markets it is in existing markets or new markets. Depending on the characteristic of each, the marketing strategy is decided. These marketing strategies are as follows.

1) Market Penetration In the Ansoff matrix, market penetration is adopted as a strategy when the firm has an existing product and needs a growth strategy for an existing market. 2) Market Development Market development is the second market growth strategy which can be adopted as per the Ansoff matrix. The market development strategy is used when the firm targets a new market with existing products. There are many possible ways of approaching this strategy, including: New geographical markets; for example exporting the product to a new country New product dimensions or packaging: for example New distribution channels Different pricing policies to attract different customers or create new market segments Product development Product development in the Ansoff matrix refers to firms which have a good market share in an existing market and therefore might need to introduce new products for expansion. Product development mainly happens when you have a good customer base and you know that the market for your existing product has reached saturation. Diversification Diversification is a strategy used in the Ansoff matrix when the product is completely new and is being introduced in a new market. This is an inherently more risk strategy because the business is moving into markets in which it has little or no experience. For a business to adopt a diversification strategy, therefore, it must have a clear idea about what it expects to gain from the strategy and an honest assessment of the risks.

Rivalry among Firms- HIGH The key players in two-wheeler industries are Hero Honda motor ltd. (HHML), Bajaj Auto ltd and TVS motor Company ltd. The other players are Kinetic, LML, Yamaha, Majestic auto ltd, Royal Enfield ltd and Honda motorcycle & scooter India. Two-wheelers domestic market growth rate for 2008-09 is 19.4% which is very high when compared to that of three wheelers, Passenger and commercial vehicles. Indian Auto policy 2002 gives added advantage to two-wheeler manufacturers to enter even other countries outside India. Since big manufacturer plant with high technology and good R&D team needed many of them dose not enter in two-wheeler Industries. Only the companies which are in automobile line will expand their product line like Mahindra.
Threat of New Entrants- Low to Moderate Capital investment is very huge Sports bikes entering in Indian market Harley Davidson launching in India
Threat of Substitute Products- Low to Moderate Substitute products for two-wheeler industries are bus transportation, Auto transportation and even low-end cars, but people using two-wheelers can only use the service of buses and auto as a substitute product. Sometimes low-end car is a substitute product for the people using high-end motorcycles. Normal buses to hi-tech ac buses which is threat to two-wheeler industry. Penetration of Metro trains in Metropolitans.

Some of the components in two-wheeler industry are very common for all the two-wheeler industries like steel, aluminium, tyres and tubes, these material are available in abundant. This makes them to drive a smooth production of their finished products.
Bargaining Power of Customer- High Buyer has added advantage than seller because there are five to six big popular brands of twowheelers are available in India, so that they can switch brand from one another. Buyers are very conscious in spending their money to purchase two-wheeler, because it attracts most of the middle-income groups seller cannot price their product very high.
