CHAPTER 2
Industry Profile
Industry Overview
13
The automotive industry is a global industry that comprises a wide range of
companies and organizations involved in the design, development,
manufacturing, marketing, selling, repairing, and modification of motor
vehicles. It is one of the world's largest industries by revenue, employing
millions of people around the world.
The structure of the automotive industry is complex. There are a large number
of companies involved in the industry, and they operate at different levels of the
value chain. The major players in the industry are the original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs), which design and manufacture vehicles. The OEMs are
typically vertically integrated, meaning that they own their own production
facilities and supply chains.
There are also a number of tier 1 suppliers, which provide components and
subassemblies to the OEMs. Tier 2 and tier 3 suppliers provide even more
specialized components and services. The automotive industry is also a major
source of aftermarket parts and services.
Here are some of the key trends that are shaping the automotive industry:
The rise of electric vehicles (EVs). EVs are becoming more popular, as
they offer a cleaner and more efficient alternative to traditional gasoline-
powered vehicles.
The development of autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles are still
in the early stages of development, but they have the potential to
revolutionize the automotive industry.
14
The increasing demand for connectivity and infotainment features.
Consumers are increasingly demanding vehicles that are connected to the
internet and that offer a variety of infotainment features.
The growth of the aftermarket parts and services market. The aftermarket
parts and services market are growing rapidly, as consumers are
increasingly looking for ways to customize and maintain their vehicles.
Advantages in India
Large and growing domestic market: India has a large and growing
population, which is leading to a growing demand for automobiles. In
2021, the Indian automobile market was valued at US$222 billion, and
it is expected to reach US$327 billion by 2027.
Low labor costs: India has some of the lowest labor costs in the world,
which makes it an attractive destination for automobile manufacturing.
This is especially true for labor-intensive industries such as two-
wheelers and three-wheelers.
Government support: The Indian government has been supportive of
the automobile industry, and it has implemented a number of policies to
promote growth in the sector. These include the National Electric
Mobility Mission Plan 2020, which aims to make India a global leader
in electric vehicles.
Technological expertise: India has a growing pool of technological
expertise in the automobile sector. This is due to the presence of a
number of global automotive companies in India, as well as the strong
research and development capabilities of Indian universities and
research institutes.
Infrastructural development: India has been investing in infrastructure
development, which is making it easier to transport and assemble
automobiles. This includes the development of highways, ports, and
logistics facilities.
15
These advantages have helped the Indian automobile industry to grow rapidly in
recent years. In 2021, the Indian automobile industry produced 22.9 million
vehicles, making it the fourth largest automobile producer in the world. The
industry is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, and it is likely to
become a major player in the global automobile market.
In addition to the above advantages, the Indian automobile industry also has a
number of other strengths, such as:
A strong supplier base: India has a strong supplier base for the
automobile industry, which includes both domestic and international
companies. This makes it easier for automobile manufacturers to source
components and parts locally.
A favorable business environment: India has a favorable business
environment for the automobile industry, which includes a stable
political system, a sound legal framework, and a transparent regulatory
system.
A skilled workforce: India has a skilled workforce that is well-trained in
the automobile sector. This is due to the presence of a number of
technical institutes and training centers in India.
Make in India
16
The Make in India initiative was launched in September 2014 by Prime Minister
Narendra Modi. The initiative has four pillars:
The Make in India initiative has been successful in attracting investment and
generating jobs. In the first five years of the initiative, India attracted over
US$600 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI). The initiative has also
created millions of jobs, and it is expected to create millions more in the coming
years.
The Make in India initiative has been praised by businesses and industry
experts. They say that the initiative has created a more favorable business
environment for manufacturing in India. They also say that the initiative has
helped to raise India's profile as a manufacturing destination.
However, the Make in India initiative has also been criticized. Some critics say
that the government has not done enough to address the challenges facing the
17
manufacturing sector, such as high taxes and labor costs. Others say that the
government has not done enough to promote innovation and research in the
manufacturing sector.
Despite the criticisms, the Make in India initiative has been a success. The
initiative has attracted investment and generated jobs, and it is expected to
create millions more in the coming years. The initiative has also helped to raise
India's profile as a manufacturing destination.
18
road network in India. The project is expected to create a demand for
automobiles, and to boost the growth of the automobile industry.
The Goods and Services Tax (GST), which is a single tax that has
replaced a number of different taxes in India. The GST has simplified the
tax system, and has made it easier for businesses to operate in India.
These policies have helped to promote the growth of the automobile industry in
India. In 2021, the Indian automobile industry produced 22.9 million vehicles,
making it the fourth largest automobile producer in the world. The industry is
expected to continue to grow in the coming years, and it is likely to become a
major player in the global automobile market.
In addition to the above policies, the government of India has also taken a
number of other steps to promote the growth of the automobile industry. These
include:
Improving the skills of the workforce: The government is improving the skills
of the workforce in the automobile sector. This is being done through a number
19
of measures, such as providing training programs, and setting up skill
development centers.
These steps are helping to make India a more attractive destination for
investment in the automobile sector. The government is confident that the
automobile industry will continue to grow in India, and that it will become a
major player in the global automobile market.
Key Risks
The automobile industry in India is facing a number of risks, which could
impact its growth in the coming years. These risks include:
20
These risks could impact the growth of the automobile industry in India in the
coming years. However, the industry is also facing a number of opportunities,
such as the growing demand for affordable vehicles and the rise of the middle
class. The industry is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, but it
will need to address the risks in order to sustain its growth.
Here are some additional risks that the Indian automobile industry is facing:
