Conclusion
Overall, the Indian two-wheeler market’s FY 2024-25 performance revealed a dynamic competitive landscape undergoing significant transformation. With overall industry growth of 9.1% reaching 1.96 crore units, the market demonstrated robust recovery, approaching pre-pandemic peaks. Key observations are
- Honda (HMSI) emerged as the Biggest Winner: Gaining 2.5 percentage points to reach 29.7% market share, driven by Activa scooter dominance, aggressive network expansion (6,500+ touchpoints), and 19% year-on-year growth.
- Hero MotoCorp Faces Challenges: Despite maintaining leadership at 30.1% share, Hero lost 1.2 percentage points, growing only 4.9% compared to the 9.1% industry average, constrained by a limited scooter portfolio and a slower EV transition.
- TVS Motor’s Balanced Excellence: Gained 0.7 percentage points to 22.1% share through diversified portfolio (motorcycles, scooters, iQube EV), 12% growth rate, and leadership in electric two-wheelers among legacy OEMs.
- Bajaj Auto’s Export-Focused Stability: Maintained 20.3% share through export dominance (42% of volumes), Chetak EV success (overtaking Ola in CY2025), though domestic growth lagged at 2.6%.
- Suzuki and Royal Enfield Steady Growth: Both maintained stable positions with 10%+ growth rates; Suzuki benefited from the scooter segment boom, while Royal Enfield commanded 95% of the 250cc+ segment.
Structural Market Shifts
- Scooters are growing 17.4% vs. motorcycles at 5.1%, benefiting Honda, TVS, and Suzuki.
- Electric vehicles crossing 6% threshold with 21% growth, TVS and Bajaj gaining a competitive advantage.
- Exports surging 21.4% to 42 lakh units, reducing domestic dependency.
- Rural demand recovery supporting Hero and TVS, urban growth favouring Honda and Suzuki.
Looking Ahead to FY 2025-26
Looking ahead, Honda and TVS are likely to keep gaining market share unless Hero accelerates its scooter and EV plans. The two wheeler sales statistics in India in FY24-25 indicate that electric vehicles will play an increasingly important role in shaping the market. Established companies will need to perform well in EVs to remain leaders. Export markets are expected to support growth, and a strong dealer network will continue to set companies apart.
For OEMs, dealers, investors, and policymakers, the shifts in market share during FY 2024-25 show the importance of having a balanced product range, preparing for electric vehicles, building strong distribution networks, and quickly adapting to customer needs. The two-wheeler industry is at a turning point, and companies must blend their traditional strengths with new skills to lead the market going forward.
