Conclusion Bibliography Annexure INTRODUCTION The automobile industry today is one of the most lucrative industries. Due to the increase in disposable income in both rural and urban sector and easy finance being provided by all the financial institutes, the passenger car sales have increased at the rate of 45% per annum in 2010-2011 over the corresponding period in the previous year. Further competition is heating up in the sector with a host of new players coming in and other like Porsche, Bentley, Audi, Mercedes, and BMW all set to venture in the Indian markets. One factor that could help the companies in the marketing of their product is by knowing and creating a personality for their brands. Automotive industry in India Since the first car rolled out on the streets of Mumbai (then Bombay) in 1898, the Automobile Industry of India has come a long way. With HM establishing the first automobile factory way back in 1948, the Indian passenger vehicle industry was for long dominated by Ambassadors and the Premier Padmini’s. Then in the year 1985, following the liberalization and various tax reliefs, the Government of India in collaboration with Suzuki motor corporation of Japan formed Maruti Suzuki ; a powerful alliance which changed the face of the Indian roads. The only car with the latest technology then was the Maruti 800. It became very popular because of the low price, high fuel efficiency and good reliability. Since then the market has grown with over 20 manufacturers and hundreds of models and variants. The Indian automobile industry has matured over the years and is now highly comptetitive with major Japanese, Korean, American, European and Indian companies all holding significant market shares. Indian auto industry has become a hot destination for global auto players like Volvo, General Motors, Daimler-Chrysler, Volkswagen, Toyota and Ford. Global players have either entered or are eyeing India as a strategic target for future development A well developed transportation system plays a key role in the development of an economy, and India is no exception to it. With the growth of transportation system the Automotive Industry of India is also growing at rapid speed, occupying an important place on the 'canvas' of Indian economy. Today Indian automotive industry is fully capable of producing various kinds of vehicles and can be divided into 3 broad categories: Two-wheelers, Four-wheelers (Cars) and Heavy vehicles. Growth Drivers for auto industry in India Segments of the Indian Auto market The market for any product is normally made up of several segments. A ‘market’ after all is the aggregate of consumers of a given product. And, consumer (the end user), who makes a market, are of varying characteristics and buying behaviour. There are different factors contributing for varying mind set of consumers. It is thus natural that many differing segments occur within a market. In order to capture this heterogeneous market for any product, marketers usually divide or disintegrate the market into a number of sub- markets/segments. This report attempts to analyze and understands how Indian carmaker have successfully segmented the market and how they are leveraging these segmentation to introduce new product and grow their market share. With proper segmentation carmakers could look at the differences among the customer groups and decide on appropriate strategies/offers for each group. These strategies then helped them in dividing the markets for conquering them. Every buyer has individual needs, preferences, resources and behaviours. Since it is virtually impossible to cater for every customer’s individual characteristics, carmakers grouped customers to market segments by variables they have in common. These common characteristics allowed developing a standardized marketing mix for all customers in that segment. This segmentation helped the carmaker to increase their profit by tapping the market through adapting the offer to that segment. They brought the necessary changes in the product to suit to the particular segment. We would analyze how consumer market is segmented and on what basis automaker segment the market. Consumer market segmentation 1. Geographic Segmentation. 2. Demographic Segmentation. 3. Psychographic Segmentation. 4. Behaviouristic Segmentation. 1) Geographic Segmentation Potential customers are in a local, state, regional or national marketplace segment. Geographic location is a major factor in segmenting target markets for automakers since their customer needs are varied for different region. The customers can be segmented based on: a. Region b. Size c. Population density d. Climate 2) Demographic Segmentation In this type of segmentation, the customers are segmented based on the following factors. a. Age (dominant factor) b. Income & Purchasing power (dominant factor) • Budget car segment • Compact car segment • Family car segment • Premium car segment • Super luxury saloon segment c. Occupation. d. Gender (dominant factor). e. Family Size. f. Family life cycle. g. Nationality. h. Religion. i. Education. 3) Psychographic Segmentation Psychographic Segmentation groups customers according to their life-style and buying psychology. Many businesses offer products based on the attitudes, beliefs and emotions of their target market. The desire for status, enhanced appearance and more money are examples of psychographic variables. They are the factors that influence your customers' purchasing decision.
