INTRODUCT ION
TO TWO-WHEELER INDUSTRY:
Automobile Industry Industry is one of the of the largest industries ndustries in global market. TwoTwowheeler segmen segment is one of the of the most importan important compon omponents of the of the automobile sec sector whic 55. India India is the sec hich has been been in existenc existence e in the coun ountry sinc since e 1955. second largest twowheeler market in the world, orld, it stand stands s next to Japan apan and chi chin na in terms of n of number of two-w o-wheelers prod produced and sold sold. In India India there are 7 scooters man manufac ufacturers, turers, 9 motor cycle man manufac ufacturers and 3 moped mopeds man manufac ufacturers. In earlier d earlier day¶s TwoTwo-w wheeler industry ndustry had had three segmen segments one is bike and other two bein being Scooters Scooters and moped mopeds, but in presen present we can see mostly bikes sinc since e there is not that muc much of s of scooters and moped mopeds are prod produced no nowadays, ays, due due to new tec technologies and innovatio nnovation n. Recently the biggest seller of s of scooters that is Bajaj Auto ajaj Auto has stopped stoppe d prod producing or selli or sellin ng scooters sinc since e there is no demand emand in the market for the for the scooters. So we are main mainly goin going to look at the bikes in two-w o-wheelers industry. ndustry. Bikes are also divid ivided in to two groups automatic automatic gear bikes and gear two-w o-wheelers, heelers, again again gear bikes are classified lassified in to two-stroke engin gine and four stroke engin gine.

Potential New Entrants: Capital investmen vestment is very huge in two-w o-wheeler i heeler industries ndustries sinc since e large plan plant and large mac machin hineries need eeded with with skilled skilled labours and good good R&D ducing two-w nce high tec team need eeded for pro for prod o-wheelers. Since technology and raw raw material resour ces are abund abunda ant to prod produce the prod production tion cost cost is less in prod producing twowheelers. Since nce eac each compan ompany in industry ndustry chan hange the mod model on goin going basis to show show differen ifferentiation tiation amon among their c their competitors bec because of this of this there is more lear ning and experienc experience e in this field field. Eac Each compan ompany in industry ndustry not only makes differen ifferentiation tiation in their prod product strategy but also makes differen ifferentiation tiation in the promotion promotio nal strategy to create´ reate´ brand brand preferenc preference e and loyalty´ loyalty´. Because of lo of low w cost cost prod production, tion, this industry ndustry en joys good good grow growth rate and profitability. Substitute Product: Substitute prod products for t for two-w o-wheeler i heeler industries ndustries are bus tran transportation, sportatio n, Auto Auto tran transportation sportatio n and even even low low-end -end cars cars,, but people usin using twowheelers can only use the servic service of buses of buses and auto as a substitute prod product. Sometimes low low-end -end car car is is a substitute prod product for the for the people usin using high-end high-end motor cycles. Because nowadays there is lot of segme of segmen nt in buses in urban urban areas and the private compan ompanies also influenc fluence ed very muc much, buses are available from normal buses to hi-tec hi-tech ac buses whic hich is threat to two-w o-wheeler industry. ndustry. Since nce only two people can travel in a bike most of them of them uses auto when hen they go out with their family and if they are affor dable to buy car w ar will use car i ar instead stead of auto. of auto. Since nce bus servic service has increase ncreased d whe when n compared ompared to five years bac back people who are aged aged above 45 years uses buses bec because of their of their health health conditio ndition n. These are the substitute prod product available to two-w o-wheelers. Supplier ± Seller Relations: Since nce their sellin selling units are very high in two-w o-wheeler industry ndustry and bec because of ma of man ny competitors supplier are very high. Since nce they chan hange their mo their mod dels on goin going basis they create good good relation relationship betw between een their suppliers. their suppliers. Some of the of the compon omponents in two-w o-wheeler i heeler industry ndustry are very common ommon for all the twowheeler i heeler industries ndustries like steel, steel, alumin aluminum, um, tyres and tubes, tubes, these material are available in abund abunda ant. This makes them to drive a smooth prod production tion of their of their fin finished ished prod products. Seller ± Buyer Relations: Buyer has adde dded advan vantage than than seller bec because there are five to six big popular brand brands s of two-w o-wheelers are available in India India,, so that they can switc itch brand brand from one another. Since nce full information formation is available to the buyers about their pro their prod duct details and their pri their pric ces buyers are fully aware of seller of seller costs and prod products. Buyers are very conscious in spend spendiing their mon money to pur chase two-w o-wheeler , bec because it attrac attracts most of the of the midd middle-i le-inc ncome ome group¶s seller cannot nnot pric price their prod product very high. Nowadays people go to unique brand brand bec because of the of the good good servic service they provid provi de after pur chase.

CONCLUSION: My rec recommend ommendatio ation n to the two-w o-wheeler i heeler industry: ndustry: Nowadays design esigning of t of two-w o-wheelers industries ndustries seems to be aimin aiming only at youn youngsters; they have to aim at provid providing some tec technology whic hich also convinc vinces es people who are aged aged above 40. Man Many of them of them are affec affected ted with with bac back pain pain while while rid riding low low or mi or midd ddle le cost two-w o-wheeler a heeler and also shoc shock-ups life is very min minimum. They have to thin think on these tec technologies and give some adde dded on fac facilities to their pro their prod ducts. Sometimes there is variation variation betw between een the mileages too, too, i.e. they promises us that their prod product would ould give 80 Km/per liter but prod product will result in givin giving lesser than than that even even after follow following their guid guidelin elines. Because of the of the differen ifferent segmen segments in two-w o-wheeler i heeler industry ndustry,, 100cc segmen segment two-w o-wheelers demand emand falls down whi whic ch has trad tradition itionally en joyed joyed the maximum market share. The two-w o-wheeler i heeler industry ndustry should should co conce ncentrate on red reducing their bike pric prices bec because there is not that muc much differenc ifference e of pri of pric ce betw between een high-end high-end bikes and low low-end -end cars (e.g.: Nano).
