Sales Analysis
In the first two parts of our January sales analysis, IAR
looked at Passenger Vehicle dispatches and Commercial Vehicle
sales. In this third and concluding part of sales analysis, we
look at the two-wheeler spectrum and how each segment
performed.
SCOOTERS
It wasnt a great month for two-wheelers as dispatches were
below expectations and the biggest segment recorded negative
growth. However, things did not change much for the Scooters
segment. By the time January ended, dispatches in the Scooters
segment had grown by 25.3% over previous year. The growth rate
that the segment enjoyed in 2014 has been maintained in 2015,
even
though
the
base
is
now
much
bigger.
SUB 125 CC
The Motorcycles segment displayed quite contrasting behaviour.
The segment is huge and growth has been a struggle for
sometime. In January 2015, the sub-125cc segment saw a fall of
10.6% from previous year. Apart from Yamaha (up 23%) and TVS
(up 10.5%), every other manufacturer saw a decline in
dispatches. Bajaj Auto (down 48.2%) and Suzuki (down 48%)
experienced the biggest falls in dispatch numbers.
125CC 250CC
The sporty commuter market did much better than the sub 125cc
market. In the 125cc 250cc segments, dispatches wee 15.5%
better than January 2014. The rise was led by Bajaj Auto and
TVS Motor Bajaj improved its volumes by 32.4% while TVS
managed 31.5% higher dispatches over previous year. Yamaha
also recorded a 34% jump in dispatches. Significantly higher
growth was also recorded by Suzuki in the segment but from a
very small base.
