Fuel injection system in motorcycles/scooters offer significant advantage over carburettor equipped vehicles
In Japan, which now accounts for less than 1% of global motorcycle sales. All Honda scooters were offered with Fuel injection (PGM-FI) since 2007, and the majority of models for sale in ASEAN markets were equipped with PGM-FI by 2010-2013.
In US and Europe, all motorcycles and scooters are equipped with fuel injection system. But in cost-sensitive markets like India, Pakistan and Brazil, most of the motorcycles/scooters are still equipped with carburetors.
More than 95% mtorcyles sold globally are equipped with manual throttle bodies and only ~5% are quipped with electronic throttle bodies.
The global motorcycle sales was 55 Million units in 2018, growing at 3-4% CAGR in past two years. India and China are two biggest markets, accounting for 64% global cumulative share.
India which accounts for 37% market share of motorcycles sold globally.The overall Indian economy has slowed down to various structural reforms in the economy and legislative reforms( ABS legislation, BS III to BS VI in two years etc).There are 813 auto component suppliers in India and ~70% of them are Micro-small and Medium Enterprises (Revenue< $35Million). They have been adversely affected due to the prolonged slowdown.
At present, less than 5% scooters/motorcycles sold are fuel injected and the rest are carburetted. But, due to upcoming BS6 emission norms this is expected to change drastically and we expect more than 95% vehicles to become fuel injected. Growing Fuel injection peentration is also expected to impact electronics and lighting market. To know more about the impact on lighting market, read our report Automotive LED lighting market in India.
In the light of upcoming BS6 emission norms,Honda Motorcycles & Scooters India has launched the BS-VI-compliant Activa 125 for the top 50 cities. But the impact on demand has been much less than was expected.
