EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OBJECTIVE : • To view the satisfaction level of customers for two wheelers industries.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY : The research had to be conducted through a survey based on questionnaires • Sample
Size – 5
6. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 200 Respondent. • Brands Covered – Hero honda Bajaj Honda Tvs Suzuki
Yamaha • Target Area – New Delhi Noida Greater Noida • Sampling Used – simple random. • Scaling Used – 5 point
likert scale . 6
7. Projectsformba.blogspot.com DATA ANALYSIS : Analysis was done on the basis of 22 parameters. Bar charts were
developed on these parameters which compare different brands in the 2 wheeler industry with the help of these charts.
Yamaha’s position in the market is found and analyzed . SUGGESTIONS : • Introduction of new brands may turn the
market oligopolistic but will definitely increase the market share. • Looks and style should not be over stressed as
compared to quality and mileage. • Yamaha does not have any successful 150 cc bike. • Yamaha’s R & D facilities should
coordinate with the marketing wing to give customers what they want. • Secondary research shows that Yamaha has good
brand awareness. But when it comes to real market, it is an illusion. • 360 degree marketing approach with aggressive
promotional campaigns should be followed. • Focus should be on young teenagers and executives as they represent
largest portion of the bike user segment. 7
8. Projectsformba.blogspot.com • Provide better sales follow up which almost every brand lacks. • Indian customers
generally do not use bike for fashion but as a necessity so mileage should be a concern. 8
9. Projectsformba.blogspot.com CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION 9
10. Projectsformba.blogspot.com Research means detailed study of a problem. Here, the details of the marketing problem
are collected and studied, conclusions are drawn and suggestions are made to solve the problem quickly, correctly and
systematically. In MR, specific marketing problem is studied in depth by collecting and analyzing all relevant information
and solution are suggested to solve the problem which may be related to consumers, product, market competition, sales
promotion and so on. MR is special branch of marketing management. It is comparatively of recent in origin. MR acts as an
investigative arm of a marketing manager. It suggests solution on marketing problem for the consideration and selection by
a marketing manager. MR also acts as an important tool to study buyer behavior, changes in consumer life- style and
consumption patterns, brand loyalty and forecast market changes. In brief, MR facilitates accurate marketing decisions for
consumer satisfaction on the one hand and sales promotion on the other hand. It is rightly treated as the soul of modern
marketing management. MR suggests possible solution on marketing problem to marketing manager for his consideration
and final selection. It is rightly said that the beginning and end of marketing management is marketing research. It is
primarily used to provide information needed to guide marketing decision, market mix. It acts as a support system to
marketing management. 10
11. Projectsformba.blogspot.com INCREASING NEED OF MARKETING RESEARCH 1) Growth and complexity of
markets: - Markets are no more local in character. They are now national and even global in character. The marketing
activity is becoming increasingly complex and broader in scope as more firms operate in domestic and global markets.
Manufactures find it difficult to establish close contact with all markets and consumers directly. Similarly, they have no
control on the marketing system once the goods are sold out 2) To middlemen. This situation creates new problem before
the manufacturers which can be faced effectively through MR as it acts as a feed-back mechanism to ascertain first hand
information, reaction, etc. of consumers and middleman. Marketing activities can be adjusted accordingly. 3) Wide gap
between producers and consumers: - marketing research is needed as there is a wide gap between producers and
consumers in the present marketing system. Due to mass scale production and distribution, direct contact between
producers and consumers. Producers do not get dependable information as regards needs, expectation and reactions of
consumers; they are unable to adjust their products, packaging, prices, etc. as per the needs of consumers. The problem
created due to information gap can be solved only through MR as it possible to establish contact with consumers and
collect first hand information about their needs, expectation, likes, dislikes, preferences and special features of their
behavior. Thus, MR is needed for removing the wide communication gap between producers and consumers. 4) Changes
in the composition of population and pattern of consumption: - In India, many changes are taking place in the composition
of population. There is a shift of population from rural to urban areas. There have been considerable changes in the
consumption and expenditure patterns of consumers in India. The incomes of the people, in general, are rising. This brings
corresponding increase in their purchasing capacity and buying needs and habits. The demand for consumer 11
12. Projectsformba.blogspot.com durables is fast increasing. The market are now flooded with consumer durables like TV
sets and so on. Manufacturers are expected to know such qualitative and quantitative changes in the consumer
preferences and their consumption pattern. For achieving this objective, MR activities are necessary and useful. In brief,
MR is needed for the study of changes in the pattern of consumption and corresponding adjustment in the marketing
planning, policies strategies. 5) Growing importance of consumers in marketing:-Consumers occupy key position in
modern marketing system. They are now well informed about market trends, goods available, consumer rights and
protection available to them through consumer protection acts, the growth of consumerism has created new challenges
before manufacturers and traders. Even growing customer expectations create situation when manufacturers have to
understand such expectations and adjust the production policies accordingly. Indifference towards consumer expectations
may lead to loss of business. In the present marketing system, consumers cannot be taken for granted. Marketing
research particularly consumer research gives valuable data relating to consumers. It is possible to use such data fruitfully
while framing marketing policies. Thus, marketing decisions can be made pro consumer through marketing research
activities. 6) Shift of competition from price to non-price factors: - Cut-throat competition is unavoidable in the present
marketing field. Such competition may be due to various factors such as price, quality, and packaging, advertising and
sales promotion techniques. Entry of new competitors creates new problems in the marketing of goods and services. In
addition, market competition is no more restricted to price factor alone. There are other non-price factors such as
packaging, branding, after- sales and advertising which create severe market competition. Every producer has to find out
the extent of such non-price competition and the manner in which he can face it with confidence. MR is needed as it offers
guidance in this regards. A 12
13. Projectsformba.blogspot.com manufacturer can face market competition even by using certain non-price factors. The
shifting of competition from price to non-price factors has made marketing of consumer goods more complicated and
challenging. This challenge can be faced with confidence by using certain measures through marketing research. 7) Need
of prompt decision making :- In competitive marketing, marketing executive have to take quick and correct decision.
Companies have to develop and market new products more quickly than ever before. However, such decision is always
difficult. Moreover, wrong decisions may bring loss to the organization. For correct decision making, marketing executive
need reliable data and up to date market information. Here, MR comes to the rescue of marketing manager. Problems in
marketing are located, defined, analyzed and solved through MR techniques. This suggests its need as a tool for decision
making. MR is needed as a tool for reasonably accurate decision making in the present highly competitive market system.

14. Projectsformba.blogspot.com CHAPTER 2 CRITICAL REVIEW OF LITERATURE 14
15. Projectsformba.blogspot.com LITERATURE REVIEW Customer satisfaction is an ambiguous and abstract concept and
the actual manifestation of the state of satisfaction will vary from person to person and product/service to product/service.
The state of satisfaction depends on a number of both psychological and physical variables which correlate with
satisfaction behaviors such as return and recommend rate. The level of satisfaction can also vary depending on other
options the customer may have and other products against which the customer can compare the organizations products.
Because satisfaction is basically a psychological state, care should be taken in the effort of quantitative measurement.
These ten domains of satisfaction include: Quality, Value, Timeliness, Efficiency, Ease of Access, Environment, Inter-
departmental Teamwork, Front line Service Behaviors, Commitment to the Customer and Innovation. These factors are
emphasized for continuous improvement and organizational change measurement and are most often utilized to develop
the architecture for satisfaction measurement as an integrated model. The basis for the measurement of customer
satisfaction is by using the gap between the customers expectation of performance and their perceived experience of
performance. This provides the measurer with a satisfaction "gap" which is objective and quantitative in nature customer
satisfaction equals perception of performance divided by expectation of performance. Marketers in recent times have
realized the importance of marketing orientation, and this is being reflected in the application of marketing mix elements.
Consumer’s needs are fundamental to the formulation of any marketing strategy, from developing a communication plan. It
may be worthwhile to explore the intricate aspects of consumer satisfaction level which focuses on ‘consumer needs’.
These concepts enable marketers to analyze the acceptability of strategies planned by them. 15
16. Projectsformba.blogspot.com Even though we cannot know everything that is to be known, we do need some in depth
knowledge about the consumers, starting with who is he. Is there a real Indian customer or there is a set of stereotype. All
the conventional wisdom in market research tends to favor the view that that there are distinct types, and we need to
isolate them according to some parameter and label them. Customer satisfaction as the key element for success in
business is a major concern for any industry. In this paper I have tried to propose a how customer satisfaction level can
affect the performance of an organization. Customer satisfaction, a business term, is a measure of how products and
services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. It is seen as a key performance indicator within
business and is part of the four perspectives of a Balanced Scorecard. In a competitive marketplace where businesses
compete for customers, customer satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a key element of
business strategy. There is a substantial body of empirical literature that establishes the benefits of customer satisfaction
for firms. Measuring customer satisfaction Organizations are increasingly interested in retaining existing customers while
targeting non-customers; measuring customer satisfaction provides an indication of how successful the organization is at
providing products and/or services to the marketplace. Selecting Target Market A review of marketing opportunities often
helps in identifying distinct consumer segments with very distinct wants and needs. Identifying these groups, learning how
they behave and how they make their purchase decisions enables the marketer to design and market products or services
particularly suited for their wants and needs. Based on earlier done research following conclusion were drawn about
Yamaha as a Brand in two wheeler industry: • Yamaha’s objective – It produces bikes that have speed and power
irrespective of the mileage. • Customer’s age – 20-35 years. 16
17. Projectsformba.blogspot.com Income group - Upper middle class and high class • Profession – Students and young
executives • Prime focus – Style Performance Value of money Based on earlier research done Hero Honda, Bajaj
Auto and Enfield motorcycles have come out tops in the customer satisfaction ratings in the 2007 TNS Motorcycle Total
Customer Satisfaction Study conducted by TNS Automotive. The study says that newly launched motorcycles including the
Splendor NXG and CBZ Extreme from Hero Honda, Discover 135 from Bajaj Auto and Bullet 350 from Enfield have been
ranked highest in their respective segments. The study was conducted by compiling responses of more than 7,000 new
motorcycle buyers as regards the performance of more than 50 models across parameters like sales satisfaction, product
quality, motorcycle performance and design, after-sales service, brand image, and cost-of-ownership. The index score
provides a measure of satisfaction and loyalty that a given model or brand enjoys among its customers. The study also
found that the expectation of the buyer of standard motorcycles (entry level bikes) has gone up from the previous level,
now the buyer also expects similar attention and commitment as the buyer of higher value bikes. Styling of the bikes in
executive segment is gaining importance in overall customer satisfaction. In transacting with the service dealer, competitive
pricing and explanation have gained importance as well as have high impact on retention. For the upper executive
segment latest technology and style have gained importance. Explanation of feature and benefit gained in terms of stated
importance while Salesperson 17
18. Projectsformba.blogspot.com knowledge impacts largely on retention. Premium segment buyers are at the center of
focus for all of the manufacturers that have educated the customer and empowered him to buy consciously after
comparing all the options, now he expects manufacturers to give him the best technology, he questions salesperson and
look for the best financing options available and demands quick service. For future purchases the preference for
motorcycles with high engine capacity (150cc and above) is seen in all four regions of the country however it is almost 70%
in south closely followed by west. Across the country, close to 24% of current motorcycle owners intend to upgrade to a
four-wheeler as their next vehicle 18

25. Projectsformba.blogspot.com Industry profile 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 the country in 9MFY2007 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. 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 urbanization, 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 entry level 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. While the demand drivers listed here operate at the
broad level, segmental demand is influenced by segment-specific factors. 25

27. Projectsformba.blogspot.com YAMAHA PRODUCTS Yamaha Motor Company Limited - A Japanese motorized vehicle-
producing company (whose HQ is at 2500 Shanghai, Iwata, Shizuoka), is part of the Yamaha Corporation. After expanding
Yamaha Corporation into the worlds biggest piano maker, then Yamaha CEO Genichi Kawakami took Yamaha into the field
of motorized vehicles on July 1, 1955. The companys intensive research into metal alloys for use in acoustic pianos had
given Yamaha wide knowledge of the making of lightweight, yet sturdy and reliable metal constructions. This knowledge
was easily applied to the making of metal frames and motor parts for motorcycles. Yamaha Motor is the worlds second
largest producer of motorcycles (after Honda). It also produces many other motorized vehicles such as all- terrain vehicles,
boats, snowmobiles, outboard motors, and personal watercraft. The Yamaha corporate logo is comprised of three tuning
forks placed on top of each other in a triangular pattern. In 2000, Toyota and Yamaha Corporation made a capital alliance
where Toyota paid Yamaha Corporation 10.5 billion yen for a 5 per cent share in Yamaha Motor Company while Yamaha
and Yamaha Motor each bought 500,000 shares of Toyota stock in return. RACING HERITAGE Yamaha has a long racing
heritage where it has had its machines and team win many different competitions in many different areas, for example both
road and off road racing, also Yamaha has had great success with riders such as Bob Hannah, Heike Mikkola, Kenny
Roberts, Chad Reed, Jeremy McGrath, Stefan Merriman, Wayne Rainey, and the latest, Valentino Rossi. Yamaha is known
to those who are older in age as the designer of the modern motocross bike, as they were the first to build a production
mono-shock motocross bike (1975 for 250 and 400, 1976 for 125) and one 27
28. Projectsformba.blogspot.com Of the first to have a water-cooled motocross production bike (1981, but 1977 in works
bikes). Since 1962, Yamaha produced production road racing grand prix motorcycles that any licensed road racer could
purchase. In 1970, Non-factory "privateer" teams dominated the 250cc World Championship with Great Britain’s Rodney
Gould winning the title on a Yamaha TD2. MOTORCYCLE MODELS Yamaha has made an extensive number of two- and
four-stroke scooters, on-road and off- road motorcycles. The Yamaha XS 650, introduced in 1970, was such an
overwhelming success that it crippled the British monopoly of vertical twin motorcycles. ELECTRICAL VEHICLES

claimed a 100% four-stroke snowmobile line-up, making them the only snowmobile manufacturer to do so. In Canada
though, there are still three models that Yamaha manufactures that are still 2 strokes. They are the Bravo, VK 540 and the
Venture XL. Yamaha had introduced four-strokes to their line-up in 2003 and the line-up became four-stroke based for
model year 2005. Many say that Yamaha has proven snowmobiles can be clean, efficient, and reliable all while maintaining
strong performance. The RX-1 released in 2003 was the first performance-oriented four-stroke snowmobile to ever hit the
market. It was not, however, the first modern four-stroke snowmobile produced. That honor belongs to Arctic Cat for their
Yellowstone Special, released in 2000, which was designed as a rental sled that could meet Yellowstone National Parks
stringent emission requirement. However, the Yamaha received much criticism for its weight disadvantage when compared
to similar two-strokes, despite its 30
31. Projectsformba.blogspot.com excellent fuel economy and low-range torque. Yamaha is now on the cutting edge of four-
stroke technology with the introducing of their 80FI engine Which is equipped on the Phazer and Venture Lite models? This
engine has one of the highest specific outputs of any four-stroke in production, with 160 HP/L; Yamaha achieves this even
without the use of a forced induction system. Yamaha is also a key player in the "four-stroke wars", which are a series of
advertisements from opponent Ski- Doo who claim their 2-tec and power-tech equipped two-strokes are still cleaner and
more efficient than four-strokes, while Yamaha still claims the four-strokes are cleaner. Yamaha also broke a multi-year
absence from snow-cross in the winter of 2006-07 with their introduction of a factory race team headed by former Arctic
Cat racer Robbie Malinoski. CURRENT LINE-UP • Bravo • Apex • Attack • Nitro • FX Nitro • Phazer (4th Generation) • RS

the V-6 and V-8 engine for the Ford Taurus SHO. The Volvo XC90 uses a larger version of the 33
34. Projectsformba.blogspot.com same Yamaha V-8 engine. They also built Formula One racing engines from the late
1980s to the mid 1990s, with little on track success. In 1991, Yamaha developed its F1 engine supercar called the OX99-
11 where two drivers sit in tandem in front of the engine, but the project was canned due to the world recession and lack of
interest. Yamaha also tunes engines for other manufacturers, Toyota being one of them. Yamaha logos are, for instance,
found on the Toyota S engines. As well as the 2ZZ-GE utilized by Toyota, Pontiac, and Lotus. Yamaha developed a
prototype for a two-seater sports car with help of Albrecht Goertz. While the Yamaha/Nissan partnership never progressed
beyond the prototype stage, Toyota took up the design and released the Toyota 2000GT. Yamaha is also one of the big 4
companies in the Personal water craft market. WATER PURIFIER ALKALION PURIFIER • OH-A21N PURIFIER • OH-U20-

36. Projectsformba.blogspot.com MARKE 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 sub segments 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. Two-Wheelers: Comparative Characteristics Scooter Motorcycle Moped

37. Projectsformba.blogspot.com SEGMENT 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 9MFY2007, 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. 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 emphasized reliability,
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 better suspension 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 the price difference
between motorcycles and scooters, another factor that has weighed in favor 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. 37
38. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 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 FY2007. The other key players in the two-wheeler industry are
Kinetic Motor Company Ltd (KMCL), Kinetic Engineering Ltd (KEL), and 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). Although the three players have dominated the market for a relative long period 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 50% in FY2007 to emerge as the market leader. TVS, on the other hand,
witnessed an overall decline in market share from 22% in FY2000 to 17% FY2007. The share of TVS in industry sales
fluctuated 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). A third form - that is, the 100% owned
subsidiary route - found favor in the early 2000s. A case in point is HMSI, a 100% subsidiary of Honda, Japan. Table 2
details the alliances of some major two-wheeler manufacturers in India. Besides the below mentioned technology alliances,
Suzuki Motor Corporation has also followed the strategy of joint ventures (SMC reportedly acquired equity stake in Integra
Overseas Limited for manufacturing and marketing Suzuki motorcycles in India). 38

Ltd Motorcycles Hero Motors Technological tie-up Aprilia of Italy Scooters With the two-wheeler market, especially the
motorcycle market, becoming extremely competitive and the life cycle of products getting shorter, the ability to offer new
models to meet fast changing customer preferences has become imperative. In this context, the ability to deliver newer
products calls for sound technological backing and this has become one of the critical differentiating factors among
companies in the domestic market. Thus, the players have increased their focus on research and development with some
having indigenously developed new models as well as improved technologies to cater to the domestic market. Further, with
exports being one of the thrust areas for some Indian two- wheeler companies, the Indian original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) have realized the 39
40. Projectsformba.blogspot.com need to upgrade their technical capabilities. These relate to three main areas: fuel
economy, environmental compliance, and performance. In India, because of the cost-sensitive nature of the market, fuel
efficiency had been an interest area for manufacturers. It is not only that the OEMs are increasing their focus on in-house
R&D; they also provide support to the vendors to upgrade the technology and also assist those striking technological
alliances. TRENDS IN THE TWO-WHEELER INDUSTRY Companies raising capacity to meet the growing demand: All the
major two-wheeler manufacturers, viz. Bajaj Auto, HHML, YMIL, TYS, HMSI and others, have increased their
manufacturing capacities in the recent past. Most of the players have either expanded capacity, or converted their existing
capacities for scooters and mopeds into those for manufacturing motorcycles. The move has been prompted by the rapid
growth reported by the motorcycles segment since FY1995. Niche markets also witnessing intense competition: A
significant trend witnessed over the past five years is the inclination of consumers towards products with superior features
and styling. Better awareness about international models has raised expectations of consumers on some key attributes,
especially quality, styling, and performance. High competitive intensity has prompted players to launch vehicles with
improved attributes at a price less than the competitive models. In an effort to satisfy the distinct needs of consumers,
producers are identifying emerging consumer preferences and developing new models. For instance, in the motorcycles
segment, motorcycles with engine capacity over 150cc, is a segment that has witnessed significant new product launches
and hence, become more competitive. The indigenously launched Pulsar 150 had met with success on its launch and
thereafter, a host of models have been launched in this segment by various players. While Bajaj Auto launched the Pulsars
(180 cc, 200cc and 220cc) with digital twin spark technology (DTSFi) that offers a powerful engine and fuel efficiency of
125 cc models. Moreover, in the recent past, the motorcycle segment has witnessed launch of vehicles with higher engine
capacity (higher than 150cc) and power (higher than 15bhp). These include models such as Bajaj Auto Eliminator and
Royal Enfields Thunderbird followed by HHMLs Karizma and Yamaha R15 and other sports bikes. The products in this
segment cater for style conscious consumers. Quite a few players are developing models combining features such as
higher engine capacity", optimum mix of power and performance, and superior styling. However, the extent of shift to these
products would depend on the positioning of such products in terms of price. In the scooters segment, the market for
plastic-bodied aromatic scooters continues to witness growth in the scenario of overall decline in scooter volumes. Higher
volumes and growth are especially true for certain scooter models, such as Honda Activa, that brought in 40
41. Projectsformba.blogspot.com new technology (besides aromatic transmission) to further differentiate themselves.
Thus, the need to differentiate and create a niche has led to companies strengthening their research and development
(R&D) capabilities and reducing the development time for new models. INCREASING FOCUS ON EXPORTS: For the first
nine months of FY2007, two-wheeler exports increased by 37% over the corresponding previous, led mainly by
motorcycles even as exports of other two-wheelers were healthy. While motorcycle exports increased by 40%, scooter and
moped exports increased by 29% and 27% respectively. Motorcycle exports by Bajaj Auto, HHML and TVS have reported
a robust growth in FY2007 and are expected to increase further in the medium term. Although the Indian two-wheeler
manufacturers have forayed on their own in their target export markets, there have been instances of tie-ups with the
technology partners. Bajaj Autos tie-up with Kawasaki to jointly market Bajaj products in Philippines is a case in point.
Under the tie-up, M/s Kawasaki Motors Philippines Corporation has been appointed as exclusive distributors to market
select Bajaj two- wheelers that include Bike, Caliber 115 and Wind 125. These vehicles are being sent to Philippines in the
completely built unit (CBU) form. Other strategy of expanding international presence considered by few players is that of
setting up assembly lines in select South East Asian countries either on their own or in partnership with local players.
Besides, plans of select overseas technology partners to source from their Indian partners and plans of global majors to
develop their Indian manufacturing unit as a sourcing hub may also lead to increase in two-wheeler exports from India. 41
42. Projectsformba.blogspot.com SWOT ANALYSIS Strengths: • Yamaha Motor products extend from land to sea and
even into the skies, with manufacturing and business operations that include everything from motorcycles, PSA electro-
hybrid bikes, marine and power products to automotive engines. • Continuously does product improvement in accordance
with demanding customers. • The distribution network of Yamaha Motors is very wide and spread across the country. •
Probably the best in terms of R&D facility. • Has great brand name and commands lot of respect among bikers community.
Weakness: • Narrow product line in terms of motorcycles. • Yamaha’s strategy for Indian market was on right alleyway, but
somewhere down the lane, they are still relying on conventional model which no longer in use. • Yamaha despite the
promise has failed to deliver and is still an underdog in the race to top. • A series of unsuccessful and flop bikes have
eroded the legacy of RX100 and RD350. 42
43. Projectsformba.blogspot.com Opportunities: • The motorcycle market has been growing at a phenomenal rate and
there has been a shift in the consumer preferences from 2 stroke bikes. Yamaha motors have recognized this and are
bringing out new models of 4 stroke bikes quite regularly to cater the needs of the customers. • Consumers have become
technology conscious and Yamaha Motors have best R&D facilities. So they can tap new costumers with innovative
technology in motorcycle design and manufacturing. • There lies lot of potential in 150cc and above segment and Yamaha
has not made enough inroads in this segment. Threats: • Continuous divisions of customer segment have made
conventional bikes which was the strength of Yamaha motors. • Constant demand for price reduction from customers. •
Bajaj Auto and TVS have taken large part of the market share from Yamaha. • Growing competition in the industry, both in
the terms of new models and price undercutting, too is a matter of concern as both the sales realization and operation
margins may come under pressure. 43
