...all the segments of the two wheelers industry. As a percentage breakup of revenues in FY 2000, 39% was earned through sale of scooters, 22% through motorcycles, 7% via step-thrus, 23% from three wheelers and 3.4% from mopeds. The company is a major player in the 3-wheeler market with almost 81% market share in the year 2000. Traditionally the focus of Bajaj Auto was in the scooters segment in the two wheelers market. But, of late, due to decline in the scooters volume due to shift in consumer preferences, the company has been shifting its focus towards the other high growth segments in the two wheelers. The business mix of Bajaj is constantly changing in line with the changing trends in the two-wheeler market. Now it is is looking towards the motorcycles segment which is expected to witness high growth rates in the future. It is trying hard to cope with the new trends. The unfavorable sales mix due to shift in the consumer preferences from scooters to motorcycles and from step-thrus to scooterettes was instrumental in lowering the margins for Bajaj Auto. To tackle the growing competition and shift in the consumer preferences, Bajaj is entering aggressively into the motorcycles segment to improve its topline growth. In a bid to sustain and expand market share, Bajaj has been increasing its adspend in the recent years apart from offering attractive discounts and incentive schemes to boost sales. The business environment in the two wheelers market has been very dynamic in...

...Indian two-wheeler industry: Rural India to drive industry's growth The Indian two-wheeler industry has come long way since its humble beginning in 1948 when Bajaj Auto started importing and selling Vespa Scooters in India. Since then, the customer preferences have changed in favour of motorcycles and gearless scooterettes that score higher on technology, fuel economy and aesthetic appeal, at the expense of metal-bodied geared scooters and mopeds. These changes in customer preferences have had an impact on fortunes of the players. The erstwhile leaders have either perished or have significantly lost market share, whereas new leaders have emerged. Rising income levels, reducing excise duties, higher loan tenure and loan-to-value offered by the financing companies have all fuelled the growth of two-wheeler demand. Besides, mounting traffic chaos and limited parking space has also increased the demand for two-wheelers from households that can afford or actually do own a car. Furthermore, with increasing women working population, changing social philosophy and broad-mindedness, the penetration of two-wheelers in target population has increased significantly during last one decade especially in urban areas. However rural areas and smaller towns still remains considerably underpenetrated market. The authors foresee rising income levels combined with increase in finance penetration in rural areas and smaller towns, the demand for two-wheelers will grow swiftly in short to medium...

...destination to another. The progress of automobile industry tries to full fill this purpose with the help of four wheelers and especially two wheelers. When we take into consideration of our country India, it is a fast growing developing country. This growth can be seen in the field of automobile industry also. India is a very good market of many globalized automobile giant brands like Mercedes-Benz, Vox Wagon, Fiat, Toyota, Hero, Yamaha, Bajaj etc. In this scenario it would be better to mention about the satisfaction of customers who are using the vehicles. 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. The customer satisfaction varies from person to person and also one group to another. In the marketing context it is important to understand about the satisfaction level of the customers based on the analysis of data. In earlier periods, i.e. immediately after the independence dependence of foreign technology was banned and manufacturers were forced to localize their products. The automotive industry in our country declined under the government’s stifling restrictions and the Indian buyer was saddled with products of appalling quality. This attempt at self-sufficiency failed miserably because of the industry’s isolation from the best technology. The Japanese and later Korean auto industries were also highly protected in their formative years...

...manufacturer in the world (Wikipedia Automobile industry). With a population of over 1.2 billion people, India has a huge market potential for automobiles. In the Indian Automobile Industry, India has become a leading center in producing small cars. In the year 2006, Ratan Tata of Tata Motors conceived the idea of a tiny car at an extremely cheap price to capture the potential of the rapidly growing middle class segment. The outcome was the Tata Nano, the world’s cheapest car priced at one lakh INR. Rolled out from Tata Motors as the world’s cheapest car in the year 2009, the indigenous Tata Nano achieved immediate success, fulfilling its promises of a complete car at an affordable price for the middle class masses. The Tata’s had relied rather heavily on the publicity of their product. But rather than leveraging this publicity, Tata became complacent about the communication strategy. The USP of the product, the “cheapest” price tag, had backfired miserably, and actually shunned its sales. The status conscious customer obviously did not want to get associated with the tag of “Poor man’s car”, and would rather opt for slightly pricier rival options. Hence, instead of being perceived as a functional step above the motorcycle as it was intended to be, the Tata Nano started being largely perceived as a cut-price car. The Tata Nano was initially conceived as a safe personal mobility alternative to the huge section of the Indian two wheeler riding population, at an equally competitive...

...Pestle Analysis of the Brazil – Political Analysis – Brazil is currently a country with a stable, proactive government and there is virtually no political instability at the moment. However, things can easily change, as they did throughout the modern history of Brazil. Political conditions can become volatile, and this threat remains from election to election. Business conditions that change rapidly and social extremes that exist don't add to country's attractiveness. Corruption is still a big issue in Brazil. Opening an operation in Brazil may require additional payments to government officials, which can present a big obstacle to entering a market. According to Transparency International, Brazil holds 70th place in level of corruption among 180 countries, higher then such economies as Cuba, Turkey and Bulgaria. Economic Environment – Due to large population and inflow of FDI, Brazil has extremely high potential for growth. The gap between rich and poor is decreasing gradually, and there is a significant trend of growing middle class. Good news is that Central bank has inflation under control and the risk of domestic currency devaluation is low. Brazil's currency, the real, was introduced in 1994, and is largely seen as a success. Currently, it is considered to be overvalued against the dollar, which hurts exports and helps imports. Government is clear when it states that it has equal treatment for both foreign and domestic enterprises. There is abundance of unskilled...
