    The Indian automotive industry consists of five segments: commercial

    vehicles; multi-utility vehicles & passenger cars; two-wheelers; three-

    wheelers; and tractors. With 5,822,963 units sold in the domestic market

    and 453,591 units exported during the first nine months of FY2005

    (9MFY2005), the industry (excluding tractors) marked a growth of 17%

    over the corresponding previous. The two-wheeler sales have witnessed

    a spectacular growth trend since the mid nineties.

    Two-wheelers: Market Size & Growth

    In terms of volume, 4,613,436 units of two-wheelers were sold in thecountry in 9MFY2005 with 256,765 units exported. The total two-

    wheeler sales of the Indian industry accounted for around 77.5% of the

    total vehicles sold in the period mentioned

    (FY1995-2004)

    After facing its worst recession during the early 1990s, the industry

    bounced back with a 25% increase in volume sales in FY1995.

    However, the momentum could not be sustained and sales growth

    dipped to 20% in FY1996 and further down to 12% in FY1997. The

    economic slowdown in FY1998 took a heavy toll of two-wheeler sales,

    with the year-on-year sales (volume) growth rate declining to 3% that

    year. However, sales picked up thereafter mainly on the strength of an

    increase in the disposable income of middle-income salaried people

    (following the implementation of the Fifth Pay Commission's

    recommendations), higher access to relatively inexpensive financing,

    and increasing availability of fuel efficient two-wheeler models.

    Nevertheless, this phenomenon proved short-lived and the two-wheeler

    sales declined marginally in FY2001. This was followed by a revival in

    sales growth for the industry in FY2002. Although, the overall two-

    wheeler sales increased in FY2002, the scooter and moped segments

    faced de-growth. FY2003 also witnessed a healthy growth in overall

    two-wheeler sales led by higher growth in motorcycles even as the sales

    of scooters and mopeds continued to decline. Healthy growth in two-

    wheeler sales during FY2004 was led by growth in motorcycles even as

    the scooters segment posted healthy growth while the mopeds continued

    to decline. Figure 1 presents the variations across various product sub-

    segments of the two-wheeler industry between FY1995 and FY2004.

    Demand Drivers

    The demand for two-wheelers has been influenced by a number of

    factors over the past five years. The key demand drivers for the growth

    of the two-wheeler industry are as follows:

    Inadequate public transportation system, especially in the semi-urban

    and rural areas;

    Increased availability of cheap consumer financing in the past 3-4

    years;

    Increasing availability of fuel-efficient and low-maintenance models;

    Increasing urbanisation, which creates a need for personal

    transportation;

    Changes in the demographic profile;

    Difference between two-wheeler and passenger car prices, which

    makes two-wheelers the entrylevel vehicle; Steady increase in per capita income over the past five years; and

    Increasing number of models with different features to satisfy diverse

    consumer needs.

    MARKET CHARACTERISTICS

    Demand

    Segmental Classification and Characteristics

    The three main product segments in the two-wheeler category are

    scooters, motorcycles and mopeds. However, in response to evolving

    demographics and various other factors, other subsegments emerged,

    viz. scooterettes, gearless scooters, and 4-stroke scooters. While the first

    two emerged as a response to demographic changes, the introduction of

    4-stroke scooters has followed the imposition of stringent pollution

    control norms in the early 2000. Besides, these prominent sub-segments,

    product groups within these sub-segments have gained importance in the

    recent years. Examples include 125cc motorcycles, 100-125 cc gearless

    scooters, etc. The characteristics of each of the three broad segments are

    discussed in Table 1.

    Segmental Market Share

    The Indian two-wheeler industry has undergone a significant change

    over the past 10 years with the preference changing from scooters and

    mopeds to motorcycles. The scooters segment was the largest till

    FY1998, accounting for around 42% of the two-wheeler sales

    (motorcycles and mopeds accounted for 37% and 21 % of the market

    respectively, that year). However, the motorcycles segment that had

    witnessed high growth (since FY1994) became larger than the scooter

    segment in terms of market share for the first time in FY1999. Between

    FY1996 and 9MFY2005, the motorcycles segment more than doubled

    its share of the two-wheeler industry to 79% even as the market shares

    of scooters and mopeds stood lower at 16% and 5%, respectively.

    Trends in Segmental Share in Industry Sales

    (FY1996-9MFY2005)

    While scooter sales declined sharply by 28% in FY2001, motorcycle

    sales reported a healthy growth of 20%, indicating a clear shift in

    consumer preference. This shift, which continues, has been prompted by

    two major factors: change in the country's demographic profile, and

    technological advancements.

    Over the past 10-15 years the demographic profile of the typical two-

    wheeler customer has changed. The customer is likely to be salaried and

    in the first job. With a younger audience, the attributes that are sought of

    a two-wheeler have also changed. Following the opening up of the

    economy and the increasing exposure levels of this new target audience,

    power and styling are now as important as comfort and utility.

    The marketing pitch of scooters has typically emphasised reliability,

    11

  • 8/14/2019 Qmm Project Report

    12/93

    price, comfort and utility across various applications. Motorcycles, on

    the other hand, have been traditionally positioned as vehicles of power

    and style, which are rugged and more durable. These features have now

    been complemented by the availability of new designs and technological

    innovations. Moreover, higher mileage offered by the executive and

    entry-level models has also attracted interest of two-wheeler customer.

    Given this market positioning of scooters and motorcycles, it is not

    surprising that the new set of customers has preferred motorcycles to

    scooters. With better ground clearance, larger wheels and bettersuspension offered by motorcycles, they are well positioned to capture

    the rising demand in rural areas where these characteristics matter most.

    Scooters are perceived to be family vehicles, which offer more

    functional value such as broader seat, bigger storage space and easier

    ride. However, with the second-hand car market developing, a

    preference for used cars to new two-wheelers among vehicle buyers

    cannot be ruled out. Nevertheless, the past few years have witnessed a

    shift in preference towards gearless scooters (that are popular among

    women) within the scooters segment. Motorcycles, offer higher fuel

    efficiency, greater acceleration and more environment-friendliness.Given the declining difference in prices of scooters and motorcycles in

    the past few years, the preference has shifted towards motorcycles.

    Besides a change in demographic profile, technology and reduction in

    12

  • 8/14/2019 Qmm Project Report

    13/93

    the price difference between motorcycles and scooters, another factor

    that has weighed in favour of motorcycles is the high re-sale value they

    offer. Thus, the customer is willing to pay an up-front premium while

    purchasing a motorcycle in exchange for lower maintenance and a

    relatively higher resale value.

    Supply

    Manufacturers

    As the following graph indicates, the Indian two-wheeler industry is

    highly concentrated, with three players-Hero Honda Motors Ltd

    (HHML), Bajaj Auto Ltd (Bajaj Auto) and TVS Motor Company Ltd

    (TVS) - accounting for over 80% of the industry sales as in 9MFY2005.

    The other key players in the two-wheeler industry are Kinetic Motor

    Company Ltd (KMCL), Kinetic Engineering Ltd (KEL), LML Ltd

    (LML), Yamaha Motors India Ltd (Yamaha), Majestic Auto Ltd

    (Majestic Auto), Royal Enfield Ltd (REL) and Honda Motorcycle &

    Scooter India (P) Ltd (HMSI).

    14/93

    Although the three players have dominated the market for a relative longperiod of time, their individual market shares have undergone a major

    change. Bajaj Auto was the undisputed market leader till FY2000,

    accounting for 32% of the two-wheeler industry volumes in the country

    that year. Bajaj Auto dominance arose from its complete hold over the

    scooter market. However, as the demand started shifting towards

    motorcycles, the company witnessed a gradual erosion of its market

    share. HHML, which had concentrated on the motorcycle segment, was

    the main beneficiary, and almost doubled its market share from 20% in

    FY2000 to 40% in 9MFY2005 to emerge as the market leader. TVS, on

    the other hand, witnessed an overall decline in market share from 22% in

    FY2000 to 18% in 9MFY2005. The share of TVS in industry salesfluctuated on a year on year basis till FY2003 as it changed its product

    mix but has declined since then.

    Technology

    Hitherto, technology transfer to the Indian two-wheeler industry took

    place mainly through: licensing and technical collaboration (as in the

    case of Bajaj Auto and LML); and joint ventures (HHML).

    Bajaj Pulsar is a motorcycle brand owned by Bajaj Auto in India. The

    two wheeler was developed by the product engineering division of Bajaj

    Auto in association with motorcycle designer Glynn KerrTokyo R&D.

    Currently there are four variants available -with engine capacities of150cc, 180 and two variants with capacities of 220 cc. More than a

    million units of Pulsar were sold by November 2005. A Pulsar 200

    variant was discontinued in July 2009. With monthly sales of more than

    48,000 units in June 2009, Pulsar is the leader in the 150 cc segment in

    India with a market share of 43%.

    Before the introduction of the Pulsar, the Indian motorcycle market trend

    was towards fuel efficient, small capacity motorcycles (that formed the80-125 cc class). Bigger motorcycles with higher capacity virtually didnot exist (except forEnfield Bullet). The launch and success ofHeroHonda CBZ in 1999 showed that there was demand for performance

    bikes. Bajaj took the cue from there on and launched the Pulsar twins inIndia onNovember 24, 2001. Since the introduction and success of BajajPulsar, the Indian youth began expecting high power and other featuresfrom affordable motorcycles.

    DTSi stands for Digital Twin Spark Ignition, a Bajaj Auto trademark.

    Bajaj Auto holds an Indian patent for the DTSi technology. The AlfaRomeo Twin-Spark engines, the BMW F650 Funduro which was sold inIndia from 1995 to 1997 also had a twin-spark plug technology, and theRotax motorcycle engines,more recently Honda's iDSI Vehicle enginesuse a similar arrangement of two spark-plugs.

    Objective of Study

    The objective of this research is to determine the customer as well as

    retailers preferences regarding different brands of motorcycles which

    result in their market share. It involves the study of consumers buying

    behaviour and attitudes towards a variety of attributes and factors, which

    help them in decision-making.

    The additional brand we chose to focus on was BAJAJ AUTO Ltd.s

    PULSAR brand of bikes. We studied the Industry profile, its market

    structure, the brand awareness, growth rates and popularity among

    18

  • 8/14/2019 Qmm Project Report

    19/93

    consumers so as to forecast the future sales and understand the growth

    trends.

    We designed a questionnaire to survey various consumers of bikes to

    understand the demand and supply situation of the bike market.Secondary data from the internet has also been used for effective

    analysis.

    Importance of Study

    The importance of this study is to practically understand the relevance ofthe concepts of QMM in the business organisations and here in the

    realm of the motorcycles industry. The present market scenario was

    analyzed and future demands forecasted using the simple regression

    techniques, ANOVA & Other general statistical tools. Also, a

    comprehensive study of the major factors involved in this market was

    conducted so as to see how different and similar a market structure is

    from the theories.

    Methodology

    Primary data collection:

    For primary data collection we designed a questionnaire to survey

    various consumers. The objective of survey was to understand the

    19

  • 8/14/2019 Qmm Project Report

    20/93

    consumer preferences among various brands of motorcycles available in

    the market and the factors affecting consumer buying process.

    The sample size for the survey was around 140-150.

    Secondary data collection:

    Internet was the major source for secondary data. Apart from

    understanding the bike industry in general and Bajaj in specific, our

    major task was to analyse the consumer demand for Bajajs PULSARsbrand and project the future sales for the company. We have used the

    trend projection and exponential forecasting technique to predict the

    sales.

    Market share and Growth rates

    Two- wheeler sales in the country have sky rocketed in the recent years,

    and the annual sales of motorcycles in India expected to cross the 10

    million mark by 2010. The low penetration of two-wheelers in the

    20

  • 8/14/2019 Qmm Project Report

    21/93

    country 31 two-wheelers per 1000 citizens (2004) leaves immense scope

    for the growth of the market. Overall the industry sales of two-wheelers

    have grown by 15% from 6.57 million in 2004/2005 to 7.57 million in

    2005/2006. The buoyant Indian economy with a growth rate of around8% per annum is further expected to fuel the growth of two wheelers in

    the country.

    The share of motorcycles have increased over the years, while that of

    other two-wheelers like geared scooters, scooterettes and mopeds have

    shown a negative growth or remained stagnant. The two-wheelers have

    penetrated 7% of rural house hold and 24% of urban markets, thus it

    leaves an immense scope for the market to grow.Bajaj Auto one of the leading producers of automobiles in the country

    has been able to sell close to 2.3 million vehicles in 2005/2006, the sales

    of the company grew by almost 31%. The company registered a 32%

    growth in the sales of motorcycles much above the industry average of

    19%. Bajaj Auto has emerged as a market leader in the entry level or

    price segment motorcycle with the Bajaj CT 100 accounting for nearly

    40% of the market share. It also commands a 62% market share in thepremium segment of motorcycles with products like the Bajaj Pulsar

    DTSI. TVS Motors which has lots of firsts to its credit in the two-

    wheeler sector in the country was able to sell 1.34 million units during

    the same period thus registering an overall growth of 15% from the

    previous year. In the motorcycle segment the company's growth in sales

    was in sync with the industry average.

    f this figures have daunted you the best is yet to come, the country leaderin two-wheelers hero honda have crossed the three million mark during

    the year 2005/2006 which is a good few lakhs more than its nearest

    competitor Bajaj Auto. The company accounted for nearly 40% of then

    two-wheeler market. In the motorcycle segment the company has been

    22/93

    able to attain a market share of about 50%. The segment in which hero

    honda has emerged as a clear winner is the Deluxe segment, which is the

    largest segment in the motorcycles category, with its flagship family of

    motorcycles splendor selling over 1.2 million units which is just a shadeless than all the two wheelers sold by TVS during the same year.

    The motorcycle category is expected to see a further growth and

    according to industry experts it will drive all other category of two-

    wheelers to the periphery.

    CONCLUSION

    The bike was launched in the year 2000, and for it to capture the largest

    share of market and beat existing and flourishing brands like Hero

    Honda is a great achievement.

    Also the root mean square error value in the least square method

    is less than that in the exponential forecasting method. Thus, the salespredicted by least square method will be a better estimate of the future

    sales than that predicted by exponential forecasting method.

    The maximum buyers are of the age group 24-30 , hence it can be

    interpreted as being popular in college going youth .A majority group

    belonging to the pulsar kind of bikes is more from the income group

    category 3-5 & 5-10 lakh group The maximum number of bikes lie in

    the range between 40-50 thousands which is also a usp of pulsar as it isalmost near to the given range and provides a better value for money.

    The youth were more inclined towards the adventure part of bikes

    ,looks, consult friends, use television and internet and prefer style and

    value the most whereas for the elders go for household and office,

    77
