In the Light Duty Truck segment, Most of the key players in the truck industry are already present in this segment, while sadly none of the remaining brands (European) are planning to enter into this segment. This scenario is almost opposite to the Heavy and Medium duty truck segment.

In terms of their success stories, the small truck segment has reached gold with its extremely pleasing, skyrocketing figures. This success can be attributed to having offered price-sensitive solutions to customers concerning both pricing of local parts and support after-sales. Presently, this segment looks forward to upping its stakes to the more ludicrous Medium Budget segment by the year 2024. By this year, the entire dynamics of this segment are expected to change and undergo a major makeover. This segment is dictated entirely by the Indian OEMs. Isuzu is a company, clearly defined by the quality of both the vehicles and parts.

A recent study conducted by ACG revealed that this company was in all the customer’s good books as they are highly satisfied with its performance. This highly recommended trait of it is one of the main reasons it has escalated to where it is now, powered by a multitude of awareness campaigns and people’s support. One of the only drawbacks we at ACG had realized with regards to this company is that they would highly benefit from a more focused and widespread PR campaign specializing in the arenas of showcasing and advertising. This segment’s customers are main drivers who are mandated to run the business on a daily basis, which also owes to the great success of this segment. The pioneers of this segment are Mahindra, closely followed in popularity by Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland.

Though their figures show a tumultuous behavior over the years individually, with respect to the other segments, their growth has been spectacular. The Light Duty Truck segment, however, has seen a fairly constant behavior over the years. Following the profitable scenario of the small truck segment, the Heavy Duty Truck segment has shown the next considerable growth growing linearly and almost equalling their small truck counterpart in the year 2017-18. The Medium Duty Trucks however as their name suggests have shown mediocre behavior over the years and have managed to maintain their state homeostasis. Individually, this happens to be the situation here concerning the Indian market scene. Small trucks have seen an incredibly doubled acceleration in their figures. The Light Duty and Medium Duty Truck segments have seen constant numbers at this time.

The Heavy Duty Truck segment, on the other hand, have also shown considerable degrowth amounting to almost 14% in FY 2021.

Mini/Pick up Truck Segment Analysis:

The small truck segment is an extremely price-sensitive one and this is one segment where customers expect to receive local parts and support after-sales. It needs to make the transition from being a low budget segment to a medium budget one and this is attempted to be done by the year 2024, considering the ever-changing market dynamics scenario. Currently, this segment is being dominated mainly by Indian OEMs. According to a study conducted by ACG, most of its consumers are satisfied by the performance and quality of Isuzu, Tata, and Mahindra vehicles. Based on the recommendation, sales are driven and it has seen some flourishing business. Though they are receiving commendation for their products, Isuzu needs to buckle up their awareness campaign and move forward attempting to spread the news of their new launches and features.

The pioneers of this segment are Mahindra. The runner-ups are Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland.

Light Duty Truck segment:

The major dictator of this segment is Tata Motors who have seen a degrowth of almost 16% and market share moved from 55% in FY 2020 to 56% market share in the year FY 2021. In second place with a huge gap in between is VECVs- Eicher which has also seen a slight growth accounting for 29 percent market share. All the other companies namely, SML Isuzu, Mahindra, Force Motors and Ashok Leyland have very minimal shares.

The Light-duty truck segment is run by the Indian OEMs, like Tata Motors as the pioneer of this segment. Other top players include Eicher and SML Isuzu. With better after-sales support, TCO, and a better life cycle this could move from its status of being low budget into a medium budget model. Those who use these vehicles range from truck owners and drivers. The usage as such is mainly on a short-term basis.

Medium-Duty Truck:

From being a predominantly low budget segment, this is forecast to move to the status of the medium budget by the year 2024. The market is led by Tata Motors which grasp a major 41% of it, with Eicher Motors closely following with a similar 31% market share. The remaining share is distributed among two major players, namely, Ashok Leyland and SML Isuzu. Pioneers like Eicher Motors and Tata Motors have seen a notable change in their share. However, Ashok Leyland has lost by more than 7% in market share. The major characteristic of this segment is that the fleet size is comparatively bigger, coupled with better vehicle handling and usage. However, they have very little consideration for TCO, product lifecycle, payload, etc.

Heavy Duty Truck:

This was a predominantly Medium budget segment, which is expected to move onto being a High Budget segment by 2024. The key dictators of this segment are Tata Motors which capture an astounding 58% of the market, going down in the market share by almost 2% in FY 2021 compared to FY 2021. Ashok Leyland comes in a close second with a market share of 31% has lost in the market by almost 5% over the past year. Companies like Mahindra & Mahindra, Volvo, and VECV capture the minuscule shares of the truck market.

Above all this, the segment is a highly competitive one with the presence of a multitude of European players like BharatBenz, Scania, and Volvo. The segment is divided into Tippers, Rigid Haulage, Tractors, and Special Vehicles. However, a major proportion of the European players happens to be tippers owing to reasons of application, TCO and performance of a vehicle. BharatBenz, on the other hand, has made an impressive stand in the Haulage segment also. Customers of this segment are open-minded about considering new brands and their business propositions are also open on a long-term basis, which adds to the success of this segment. Haulage falls in between low and medium-budget segments concerning budget positioning while the tipper positions itself between the medium and high-budget segments. Companies like Scania and Volvo are in the premium segment. Volvo leads ODCs and the mining application segments.
