Two themes have defined 2W industry growth over the last 5 years
#1 Rapid adoption of masstige motorcycles #2 Scooterization as customers opt for
Customers have leapfrogged directly towards convenience
masstige (250-500cc) motorcycles from Scooters have outperformed with robust 17%
commuters (<150cc). The premium motorcycle CAGR over FY12-17 as against 2% CAGR for
category (150-250cc) registered just 2% CAGR motorcycles. Consequently, the scooter share have
over FY12-17, while the masstige category risen to 32% from 20% in FY12 with ~73% share of
registered a CAGR of 54%. incremental 2W volumes
The term ‘masstige’ was popularised by Michael Silverstein and Neil Fiske in their book ‘Trading Up’ to refer to a new category of
products that are affordable for mass consumers, and yet, are prestigious in nature. While offering an ownership experience and
status closer to luxury brands, the costs are significantly lower.
Over the last five years, customers have leapfrogged directly towards 250-500cc motorcycles (masstige) from commuters (<150cc)
The premium motorcycle category (150-250cc) has registered just 2% CAGR over FY12-17, compared to 27% CAGR over FY02-
12. While the masstige category registered a CAGR of 54% to account for ~6% of motorcycle volumes vs. <1% in FY12.

Our proprietary analysis supported with our extensive dealers checks suggests growth in new bookings have
been muted over last few quarters on SSSG basis v/s 25% plus over last few years.
We estimate new bookings to have declined sharply in RE’s two key markets viz Maharashtra and Karnataka
(together accounting for 1/5th of sales) considering reduction in order book (no major waitlist) and low-single
digit wholesale growth
Lack of new product introduction and high penetration cited as key reasons by dealers.
Reported wholesale volumes (23% during FY18-YTD) are yet to reflect growth moderation at national level on
account of a) run-off in order book and b) relatively benign channel inventory and c) supported with network
expansion.

Expect RE volume growth to slow-down to sub-15% post FY18e: We expect RE’s near-term volume growth to remain
strong at 25% during FY18e as they deepen the distribution reach supported with 1 month of order book and low channel

Domestic motorcycles
During Aug-17, Bajaj Auto and Triumph Motorcycles, UK announced global non-equity partnership to
deliver a range of mid-capacity motorcycles. Globally Triumph motorcycles sell around 65k units
annually with over 700 dealers. In India, it sells around 150units/month starting Rs7lacs (ex-
showroom).
Our view: The collaboration provides BJAUT an access to fast-growing masstige segment through
contract manufacturing for Triumph Motorcycles. However, its contribution to BJAUT’s performance is
expected to be low (2-3% contribution to EBITDA) even on assumption of near doubling of Triumph
global motorcycle volumes over 3-5 year period. We note that BJAUT’s 10-year old alliance with KTM
still contributes ~60k units annually with only 25% of volumes above 350cc.
Moreover, this tie-up doesn’t solve the structural issues faced by BJAUT in the domestic market
(declining customer mindshare and weakening dealer viability) and thus expect performance to remain
weak with continued pressure on margins.
