Scooterisation trend continues in FY15 Scooter continued to be the preferred choice for two wheeler (2W) buyers in FY15. Scooter sales grew by ~25.1% YoY as compare to ~2.5% YoY growth in Motorcycle sales in FY15, sixth straight year of double digit growth and outpacing Motorcycle sales since FY07. Scooter sales have been growing strongly over the past few years mainly due to its new age design which suits for both male and female riders, easy to handle as it is gearless and fuel efficiency. "Scooters are increasingly becoming a preferred choice for two-wheeler buyers as they provide certain benefits that a motorcycle cannot give like a relatively easy-to-drive option since most are gearless. The ease of drive makes it easy to zip across short distances and tight lanes," said Kamal Sharma, en executive with a top dealership of Hero MotoCorp. Source: Times of India Scooter segment sales have been higher than Motorcycle sales throughout the year in FY15 which resulted in increase in overall contribution of scooter in two wheeler sales. Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (Pvt) Ltd and TVS Motors have gained market share in overall two wheelers segment on the back strong scooters sales during the year. Hero MotoCorp continues to be market leader in 2W segment. However, both Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Auto has lost overall market share.

On the other side, LCV segment consistently reportied negative growth throughout the year which resulted in a negative growth of ~11.6% YoY in its volume growth in FY15. MHCV segment started picking up mainly due to extension of exices duty benefit available till 9MFY15, recovery in mining activity, improvement in fright utilization levels and replacement of ageing vehicles in MHCV segment. Within MHCV segment Tata Motors continues to be market leader with minor loss in market share whereas Ashok Leyland gained market share in overall MHCV segment and maintained its second position due to strong growth in Goods Carrier segment.
