Bus Market Overview: Brand wise

The above graph shows the sales of individual brands in the bus market share and its change from 2014 to 2015. Tata Motors has a pleasant increase in its sales by almost 8%. Force Motors has also seen a flourishing figure as it portrays the increase in sales by more than 16% from 2014 to 2015. Ashok Leyland, on the other hand, saw a stunning 45%increase while Eicher also witnessed an escalation in sales by more than 20% over the same time.

Market Share:

The sales seen in the previous trend comparing each company can be linearly translated into its market share figures. As expected, Tata Motors stand at the top bagging nearly 34% of the overall industry. Force motors have not seen a change in the year and stand with a constant 23% share. Ashok Leyland has displayed some amazing escalation to 20% of the industry as its share. Eicher and SML Isuzu have shown similar characteristics and they own a small percentage of the market share. Mahindra, with a constant 4% market share over the years has also been a significant player in this industry.

M&HCV Bus:

The bus industry is divided into various differing segments. The M and HCV bus segment have four major players, namely Tata Motors, VECVs-Eicher, SML Isuzu and Mahindra & Mahindra. Sales of Tata Motors in this segment shot through the roof with sales increasing by more than 45% from 2014 to 2015. Eicher has also seen a small rise in sales over the same period. SML Isuzu has seen a small increase in sales over the same time. Mahindra and Mahindra, on the other hand, have seen less than 5000 units sold over the year.

M&HCV Market Share:

The sales curves can also be translated into the market share. The key players with have a hand on almost all the industry are Ashok Leyland, Tata Motors, VECVs-Eicher, SML Isuzu and Mahindra &Mahindra. Ashok Leyland’s market rose by 2% from 2014 to the successive year to yield a 41%market share. On the other hand, Tata Motors dipped by a 5% to yield a 37%market share. The other three companies also contribute minor shares to the industry.

LCV Bus Segment:

The LCV segment is analysed next and each brand is plotted separately to give an overall view of the segment. Force Motors saw a 16% increase in sales from 2014 to 2015. Over the same time, Tata Motors saw a 5% increase in their sales. VECV Eicher saw an increase in its sales by more than 20% while SML Isuzu saw a 5% increase. Perhaps the only company that saw a dip in their sales was that of Mahindra &Mahindra, which portrayed a 7% decline in sales. Ashok Leyland is barely visible in this segment.

LCV Bus Market Share:

The LCV segment’s share can be directly linked to its sales figures when it is seen that Force Motors has 43% of the market in 2015 while Tata Motors are the runner ups with a major 32%. VECVs-Eicher, SML Isuzu, and Mahindra &Mahindra on the other hand, have contributed minor shares to the overall industry.

Quarter wise Analysis:

The next section of the report focusses on a quarter wise analysis which displays a comprehensive analysis of the given sector by comparing the sales in the year 2014 and 2015. Quarter 1 saw a minor 10% increase in sales over the corresponding years. The second quarter of the corresponding years shows a stagnant sales figure. Quarters 3 and 4 have seen the minor increase in sales over the stipulated duration of time.

Mahindra Sales:

The sales of Mahindra have been an upward rising curve ever since the first quarter. The first graph compares the quarter sales of the quarters corresponding to the years 2014 and 2015. Quarters 1, 3 and 4 saw escalations in the sales of this company, but however quarter 2 showed a skyrocketing sales figure showing almost a 50% increase in sales over the time.

The adjacent graph compares the market share and it can be seen that similar figures as the sales graph are translated on to this graph also. However, though there has been an increase in sales with each quarter of the corresponding year when comparing the first quarter of 2014 and the last quarter of 2015, there seems to be a staggering decline in both market share linear to its sales figures also.

SML Isuzu:

The quarter-wise analysis of the years 2014 and 2015 of the brand, SML Isuzu was done and the following graphs were plotted. Quarter 1 saw a 10% increase in the sales of this company from 2014 to 2015. This also corresponds to a 10%increase in market share. On the other hand, the second quarter  saw a pretty constant sales as well as market share figure from 2014 and 2015. However, by the time quarter, 2 struck, the sales and market share plummeted down by a huge amount. This decrease was further more pronounced in the sales and market share of quarter 4 when compared between 2014 and 2015. The market share as well as the sales figures took a big hit when the first quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2015 are analysed.

Tata Motors:

Tata Motors is one of the pioneers of this industry. The above graphs show a quarter wise analysis of the years 2014 and 2015 in terms of sales and market share. Quarter 1 saw a 10%increase in both sales as well as market share over the years 2014 and 2015. By Quarter 2 however, the sales and market share had decreased. Quarter 2 saw almost constant figures of both sales as well as market share. Quarter 3, in contrast, has shown a 10% increase in sales as well as its market share, but by the time Quarter 4 hit, there was however a staggering decrease. However, when the first quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2015 are compared, there is only a very slight decrease, which applies to both sales as well as market share.

VECV – Eicher

Though VECVs-Eicher has seen a small number of sales units produced, corresponding to less than 2000 units produced and market share not exceeding 12%, it still occupies a significant share in the industry. Quarters 1 and 2 have shown flourishing figures of ascent in both sales and market share. The transition from quarter 1 and 2 has also been extraordinarily skyrocketing. Quarter 3 is characterized by a minor decrease in both sales and market share. The transition from Quarter 3 to 4 has seen a less than pleasant decrease in both sales and market share, however, in quarter 4, sales and market share hiked up, almost lining up to the same sales and market share as the first quarter of 2014.

Ashok Leyland Sales:

The above two graphs show a comprehensive quarter wise analysis of sales and market share of the years 2014 and 2015. The sales and market share figures are translated linearly on to each other and hence, the same analysis is applicable to both these characteristics. Ashok Leyland is one of the key runners of this industry and hence it becomes highly significant to obtain a well-rounded and full-fledged analysis of the same. All four quarters see a 10% increase in both sales and market share. Particularly, quarter 3 showed a significant amount of increase in sales which linearly maps into market share too. From a mere 3000 units sold in 2014 to almost 6000 units sold in 2015, the sales figures have doubled itself and market shares have reached exorbitant amounts corresponding to the same.

Force Motors:

Force Motors also occupies a significant place in the industry in terms of both sales as well as market share. It can be observed from the graph that sales have risen by at least 10% over quarters 1, 3 and 4 while the figures have been relatively constant over the year in quarter 2.

In terms of market share, there has definitely been a significant increase in the fourth quarter of 2015 waned away. They captured nearly 50% of the industry in that quarter. Similar to the sales analysis, quarters 1, 3 and 4 showed slight escalation whereas Quarter 2 showed constant figures.

LCV Bus Sales:

Mahindra Bus Sales:

Quarter 1 of Mahindra Bus saw a dip corresponding to 5%in both sales and market share from over the duration from 2014 to 2015. Quarter 2 saw higher values and constant behaviour of sales and market share over the same time, when sales hit the 1000 units mark and market share soared to 7%. Quarter 3 showed slight increases in both the variants, while quarter 4 plagued with a decrease in sales to less than 500 units and market share to an insignificant 3%.

SML Isuzu Sales:

The two graphs shown above give a quarter wise analysis of the sales of SML Isuzu over the time from 2014 to 2015. Overall, there has been a deadly dip in sales from more than 600 units sold in the beginning of 2014 to less than 400 units at the end of 2015. In terms of market share, there has been a plummet from 6% to 4%. Quarter 1 had seen a spectacular increase by almost 40% in both sales as well as market share. Quarter 2 showed the highest sales and market share seen in the year, corresponding to 1200units sold and 10% market share. Quarter 3 saw a minor dip in both variants over the same time. Quarter 4, however, showed a staggering decrease.

Tata Motors Sales:

Tata Motors rule this industry and this is clearly seen in both sales and market share. The above-shown graphs compare the corresponding quarters of 2014 and 2015 based on sales and market share. Quarter 1 saw a constant value, this value rose to quarter 2 which saw escalating figures which when compared to 2015 saw a slight decrease in sales and market share. Quarter 3 sales and market share remained constant, while quarter 4 showed a significant increase in both aspects. Overall, sales have dropped by almost 50% over the year, and most of this can be attributed to the transition between Quarters 3 and 4. It has however managed to keep market share constant during this time.

Ashok Leyland Sales:

Ashok Leyland captures a minimal space in sales as well as market share. The highest sales were recorded in the second quarter of 2015 when sales shot up to about 250 units. This comes as a surprise because of just the previous year, the company displayed a sales figure of 50 units in the first quarter of 2014. However, this figure shot down to less than 50 units sold by the last quarter of 2015.

Similarly, its highest market share was in the second quarter of 2015, owing to almost 2% of the industry which sadly plummeted down to less than O.5% as the year came to an end with the fourth quarter of 2015.

VECV-Eicher:

The above graph shows the analysis of the market share quarter wise in 2014 and 2015. Quarter 1 saw a slight increase which linearly rose to quarter 2 which displayed yet another linear increase in market share. Quarter 2 saw the best market share for the company. However, quarter 3 saw a decline in market share which moved to a homeostasis nature in quarter 4’s analysis.

The above graph shows a comprehensive analysis of sales quarter wise over 2014 and 2015. Quarter 1 saw a pleasant increase in sales by almost 50%. Quarter 2 being one of highest sales also saw a 50% increase in sales over the same time. Quarters 3 and 4 showed homeostatic behaviours however by quarter 4 the sales had reduced to an insignificant amount.

The post Indian Bus Market Intelligence Report FY 2014-15 appeared first on Autobei Consulting Group.

A government report released here on Thursday showed an all-time low in the last three months amounting to an 8.28% in May in contrast to the 8.59% in the previous month. It predicted a couple other findings. According to the above said report, fuel prices would increase and the Budget deficit of GDP would decrease. Modi plans to construct more ports, roads and bridges in order to secure investment and it has been predicted that this move of his will definitely increase the GDP to an all-time high seen in the last four years of 6.5% in the duration of a year ending with the March of 2016. Additionally, the report also predicted that the IIP rate would increase and many steps were taken in order to increase the rate of manufacturing.

The following report details the recent out comings and trend analysis of the market. The new government has introduced a great deal of projects and broadcasted improved infrastructure plans. This plan has been extended to 100 developed cities. The growth rate is further calculated by plotting graphs to witness how change in the rate of emissions is affecting the sales. With the coming of new projects, what becomes mandatory is the need to increase demand and this arises out of expanding the borders of cities. One of the major standing causes for the flourishing of the Indian bus industry is the fact that the sky rocketing price of fuels is pushing consumers to shift to public transport means instead of private, which turns out to be a highly wallet-burning option. Additionally, schools, BPOs and corporates need buses to provide a comfortable transport option to t’s dwellers which makes up for another reason for increased popularity of buses in India. Beyond all this, many people are moving into the Middle class who prefer public means of travel and not to mention, India’s rising population, ensuring that an industry thrives it’s maximum here.

Production:

The production figures see a two-company dictated process where Ashok Leyland and Tata Motors owe for more than three-fourths of total number of buses produced. The clear pioneers are Ashok Leyland and Tata Motors. However, one thing that’s notable is the decrease in sales from 2012-13 to 2013-14. Companies like VECV-Eicher and SML Isuzu also add to a minor percentage of the production numbers, though not much. Companies like Volvo uses, M&M and Scania on the other hand are virtually non-existent in terms of production figures.

Sales:

Linear to the production graphs, the sales figures paint a similar picture. Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland dictate the sales scenario also with VECV-Eicher, SML Isuzu and MTB accounting for a very minute percentage of the sales figures. Companies like Volvo buses, Scania and Mahindra & Mahindra are invisible in terms of sales numbers. Though Tata and Ashok Leyland have seen such a flourishing growth they have both seen an equally big downfall of about 10% in sales from 2012-13 to 2013-14.

Export:

The export kingdom has also been ruled by the two big superpowers: Ashok Leyland and Tata Motors. The other companies in the race are like tiny dots on an ocean: virtually invisible. Export has purely been dictated by these two companies.

Not surprisingly, Ashok Leyland stands at the top of the market flow chart with almost half the market share. This number has only slightly reduced in the subsequent year. Tata Motors on the other hand, being equally a superpower has seen a 1% increase in market share. VECVs-Eicher and SML Isuzu have managed to stay in the picture with a minority market share, however companies like Volvo, M&M and Scania have not achieved to even start this race.

Sales Market Share:

The domestic sales have also been reported graphically in the following analysis. It comes as no big surprise when Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland arrive at the top in this aspect too. The domestic sales share is shared equally by Tata Motors. Tata Motors’ market share has shot up by 2% while Ashok Leyland’s share has plummeted by the same amount in the period between 2012-13 to 2013-14.

Export Share:

The export market share has however single headedly been dictated by Ashok Leyland with as high as a 70% share in 2012-13. This figure however has reduced by 8% in the subsequent year. Tata Motors has seen a flourishing increase in export market share by 3% over the same period. Other companies however have been dormant in terms of export share.

LCV Sales:

The LCV segment has Tata Motors in the scene, but Ashok Leyland is nowhere to be found. Though Tata motors has seen a slight decrease in sales over the year from 2012-13 to 2013-14, it still stands as the pioneer of this group. Force Motors has also made it’s stand in this sector with an equal share in sales as Tata Motors in the LCV segment. Minor but still existent sales can be seen in VECVs-Eicher, SML Isuzu and MTB.

Market Share:

The sales market shares in the LCV segment as translated by the sales figures has Tata Motors and Force Motors as the dictators of the segment with almost 40% sales share in both the companies. VECV-Eicher has seen a 2% increase to amount to a 10% sales share in 2013-14 from 2012-13. Similar situation is witnessed in the case of SML Isuzu and MTB.

Export: LCV

The LCV exports are not a very high industry, but what exists is dictated by Tata Motors whose figures however has reduced in the year from 2012-13 to 2013-14. The three companies owe to just a few units exported during the same period.

The market share in the exports sector of the LCV segment puts Tata Motors on a pedestal. The other companies as seen in the exports figures owe to insignificant values to export market share.

Medium Duty Bus

The MCV segment comprises of buses in the 7.5t to 12t section. Out of the six companies that dictate this segment, Tata Motors has seen the maximum sales in the time between 2012-13 to 2013-14. Ashok Leyland, SML Isuzu and VECVs-Eicher are close followers all oscillating between the 3000 units sold mark.

Market Share:

As seen in the sales figures graph, the sales market share translates the same analysis. Tata Motors has seen a stagnant market share owing to around 37% of the market in the MCV segment. Ashok Leyland, SML Isuzu and VECVs-Eicher also aid to a considerable market share whose numbers are almost equal. Ashok Leyland has seen a 2% increase in sales in the duration between 2012-13 to 2013-14.

The export figures for the period from 2012-13 to 2013-14 are exhibited thus. Ashok Leyland stands as the first in this aspect with the other companies not even coming close to it. VECVs-Eicher on the other hand saw its export figures multiplied four times in the mentioned period. Tata Motors has been racked by Eicher who currently stand as the runners up after Ashok Leyland.

The market share for Ashok Leyland has come down by almost 10% in the period between 2012-13 to 2013-14. VECVs-Eicher on the other hand has seen an increase in it’s market share from a mere 9% to a stunning 27% in the same period. Tata Motors has also seen a 10% decrease in export market share standing at a 18% export market share presently.

Medium Duty Bus

The medium duty bus sales figures show Ashok Leyland who stand at the top, however suffering from a decrease in sales in the period between 2012-13 and 2013-14. Tata Motors also shares the position of leaders of this segment.

The sales share revolve at almost 50% sales market share each for Ashok Leyland and Tata Motors with VECVs-Eicher with an insignificant 4% market share at the end of 2013-14.

Export:

Export figures again shine a spotlight on two companies, namely, Ashok Leyland and Tata Motors. Ashok Leyland saw a 10% decrease in it’s export figures over the year while Tata motors saw an equal increase to owe to about 1818 units exported.

Market Share:

The export figures are translated onto the export share with Ashok Leyland keeping a stand on nearly three-fourths of this segment and Tata Motors with almost one-fourth combining to be the super powers of this segment
