started manufacturing scooters in the country.
4i%es are a ma5or segment of Indian two wheeler industry, the other two 0eing scooters andmopeds. Indian companies are among the largest two-wheeler manufacturers in the world.
6ero otocorp and 4a5a5 2uto are two of the Indian companies that top the list of world
companies manufacturing two-wheelers.
The two-wheeler mar%et was opened to foreign companies in the mid '" +s. The openness
of Indian mar%et to foreign companies lead to the arrival of new models of two-wheelers into
India. 8asy availa0ility of loans from the 0an%s, relatively low rate of interest and the
discount of prices offered 0y the dealers and manufacturers lead to the increasing demand for
two-wheeler vehicles in India. This lead to the strong growth of Indian automo0ile industry.

1.- Pro* &% C$!n % n Ind !n T"o#W$%%&%r Indu+tr,
The demand shift from scooters to motorcycles in the '""+s was without parallel in any
compara0le product category in India. This was mainly attri0uted to the change in customers1 preference towards fuel-efficient and aesthetically appealing models, which scooter
manufacturers failed to provide. The delayed launch of new, advanced scooter models, fear
of four-stro%e scooters 0eing prone to increased s%idding ris%s and vi0rations, and the
difficulty of maintenance also contri0uted to this shift.
Interestingly, the growth in the motorcycle segment was mainly driven 0y the demand from
rural and semi-ur0an consumers. 2n estimated #+/ of the demand for motorcycles came
from rural and semi-ur0an customers. The rise in their disposa0le incomes on account of
good monsoons in the '""+s provided the normally conservative rural and semi-ur0an
customers with e(tra money that induced them to e(periment with new, innovative products.

2lthough the avalanche of motorcycles offered Indian consumers a wide variety of models to
choose from, it also resulted in increased pressure on the companies to concentrate on cost-cuts, technology enhancements and up-gradations and styling. Their margins came under
pressure as mar%eting costs escalated.
The companies were forced to reduce prices and offer discounts to survive the competition.
oreover, analysts were s%eptical a0out the segment1s a0ility to maintain the growth rate in
the years to come. Dne of the ma5or assumptions underlying the motorcycles rush was that if
the mar%et was considera0ly large and was growing at a constant pace, there was room for a
profita0le e(istence for all 0rands.
In !++', there were over $+ motorcycle 0rands in the mar%et. 6owever, with the top five
0rands accounting for more than #+/ of the mar%et, only +/ of the mar%et was availa0le
for all other new 0rands put together. Cespite the launch of more vehicles, the survival
prospects of many of the individual 0rands were deemed to 0e rather 0lea%.
)urther, the growth in the motorcycle segment was dependant on continuing favora0le
mar%et conditions. 2nalysts claimed that to sustain this growth rate, the segment would have
to completely canni0ali9e the mar%et for scooters and a considera0le part of the mar%et for
scooters and mopeds.
onsidering the fast growing scooter segment, with high demand from female customers,
followed 0y the moderately growing moped segment and the restructuring in the scooter
segment with ma5or national and foreign players reinforcing their presence, it was unli%ely
that the entire growth in the two-wheeler sector would 0e due to motorcycles.

2nalysts also commented that as the two-wheeler industry had grown steadily for eight
years, stages in the product life cycle would apply to the field sooner, rather than later and
the decline stage would invaria0ly come some day. There was little differentiation 0etween
the 0rands 0eing launched apart from styling as most companies had introduced their four-stro%e vehicles.
With the failure of the 5oint ventures, the e(pected introduction of cheaper hinese 0rands,
stringent emission norms and threat from ma5or international players, the survival of
indigenous 0rands loo%ed uncertain. onstrained with the ruling price levels in the mar%et

To find out the reasons for change in growth of two wheeler industry.
-.7 SAMPLING TECHNIJUE
on-pro0a0ility sampling techniGue Con)%n %nc% S!/2& n was used for collecting data
from the consumers for the survey.
onvenience sampling is a non-pro0a0ility sampling techniGue where su05ects are selected 0ecause of their convenient accessi0ility and pro(imity to the researcher.
The su05ects are selected 5ust 0ecause they are easiest to recruit for the study and theresearcher did not consider selecting su05ects that are representative of the entire population.
In all forms of research, it would 0e ideal to test the entire population, 0ut in most cases, the population is 5ust too large that it is impossi0le to include every individual. This is the reason
why most researchers rely on sampling techniGues li%e convenience sampling, the mostcommon of all sampling techniGues. any researchers prefer this sampling techniGue 0ecause it is fast, ine(pensive, easy and the su05ects are readily availa0le.
E AMPLES
Dne of the most common e(amples of convenience sampling is using student volunteers assu05ects for the research. 2nother e(ample is using su05ects that are selected from a clinic, aclass or an institution that is easily accessi0le to the researcher. 2 more concrete e(ample ischoosing five people from a class or choosing the first five names from the list of patients.
pg. *4
8/12/2019 Ghanshyam Honda Ffff
75/118
In these e(amples, the researcher inadvertently e(cludes a great proportion of the population.2 convenience sample is either a collection of su05ects that are accessi0le or a self selectionof individuals willing to participate which is e(emplified 0y your volunteers.
USES
esearchers use convenience sampling not 5ust 0ecause it is easy to use, 0ut 0ecause it alsohas other research advantages.
In pilot studies, convenience sample is usually used 0ecause it allows the researcher to o0tain 0asic data and trends regarding his study without the complications of using a randomi9edsample.This sampling techniGue is also useful in documenting that a particular Guality of a su0stanceor phenomenon occurs within a given sample. >uch studies are also very useful for detectingrelationships among different phenomena.
CRITICISMS
The most o0vious criticism a0out convenience sampling is sampling 0ias and that the sampleis not representative of the entire population. This may 0e the 0iggest disadvantage whenusing a convenience sample 0ecause it leads to more pro0lems and criticisms.
>ystematic 0ias stems from sampling 0ias. This refers to a constant difference 0etweenthe results from the sample and the theoretical results from the entire population. It is notrare that the results from a study that uses a convenience sample differ significantly with theresults from the entire population. 2 conseGuence of having systematic 0ias is o0taining
s%ewed results.2nother significant criticism a0out using a convenience sample is the limitationin generali9ation and inference ma%ing a0out the entire population. >ince the sample is notrepresentative of the population, the results of the study cannot spea% for the entire
population. This results to a low e(ternal validity of the study.

-.11 LIMITATIONS O5 STUDY
Dwing to the huge population si9e sampling universe spanning throughout the
country, it 0ecomes almost impossi0le to cover all the places in the given scope of
study.
The results thus o0tained are 5ust an overview of the areas and companies covered.
The data gathered and the results interpreted are what was done in a time frame of #
months and hence may not reveal the depth of the situation.
)or the ease of analysis, percentage of respondents using the products was considered
as the mar%et share of the particular product in that category.
This dissertation is confined on the 0asis of more secondary data collected only hence
it is not very much a relia0le data for the study.

The following factors play a ma5or role in increasing the demand for two wheelers in India.
3ersonal Income, demography and penetration level are %ey growth drivers in the two
wheeler industry.
P%r+on!& Inco/%
Cemand increases as the income increases, only to 0e su0stituted later 0y the demand for
four wheelers. Income has 0een steadily growing in India and is pro5ected to sta0ilise at a
growth rate of "-'! percent range 0y !+'!.
D%/o r!2$, !nd In+2 r!t on
The 0igger the young and wor%ing population, the greater is its need for commutation. The
IT and 43D revolution has influenced this movement. This is a favoura0le factor since
Indian wor%force is young.
P%n%tr!t on L%)%&
The lower the penetration levels in the mar%et, the 0etter the scope for future demand. 2s the
penetration of the rural mar%et is significantly low, it is going to 0e a significant long termgrowth driver.
Ot$%r 5!ctor+
Improvement in infrastructure increases competition, while simultaneously improving the
pu0lic transport. The average time period ta%en to replace an e(isting 0i%e with a newer
model has decreased from 7 years to years, resulting in replacement demand growth.

Alternat!"e Hypothes!s , H 1: There is no negative growth in the two wheeler industry.
PARAMETERS TO TEST HYPOTHESIS
>ince the hypothesis is stated in a0solute su05ective terms, there was a reGuirement to
convert this su05ectivity into o05ectivity to arrive at a stage for testing the hypothesis. )or
performing this tas%, 7 product categories were selected and the companies were tried on the
grounds of:
2vaila0ility of product
um0er of customer complaints
Cealers satisfaction level
2reas of operation and design of distri0ution channels
6old on the mar%et share
6ence the companies were tested on these 0asis and hence the results were compiled
according to the respective product categories itself.
RESULT O5 HYPOTHESIS TESTING
The overall research and analysis of the two wheeler companies across these 7 categories led
to the following result:
ull hypothesis is accepted for the product categories of '++cc and '! cc
segment as there is intense competition from fuel efficient small cars in India.
ull hypothesis does not hold true for product categories li%e
