Summary
Figure 8: Forces driving competition in the trucks market in India, 2013
SOURCE: MARKETLINE
MARKETLINE
The typically large size of competitors in the trucks market tends to increase rivalry, for example Ford, Chrysler, GM and
Toyota all manufacture a range of popular pick-up trucks and are four of the largest auto manufacturers in the world.
However, in certain countries domestic manufacturers may not be considered particularly large on a global scale, but are
classed as large for the country they operate in.
Buyers for trucks generally tend to have stronger financial muscle than in the car market as end users are mainly
business customers as opposed to individuals, with governments also purchasing trucks for military uses amongst
others, thus increasing buyer power. Suppliers in this market are mainly providers of raw materials and manufacturing
equipment. There is fairly low differentiation of primary raw materials such as aluminum, copper, and steel between
suppliers, although truck manufacturers have limited power to influence the price of these commodities. The degree of
government regulation can deter new entrants, with new trucks having to adhere to strict emissions standards, in
addition to health and safety concerns in regards to the manufacturing process itself and the vehicles produced.
Substitutes in this market are primarily second-hand vehicles, however for some buyers more relevant substitutes may
be alternative modes of transportation such as rail freight, waterways (for example canals, rivers and lakes), or air
freight.

Buyer power
Figure 9: Drivers of buyer power in the trucks market in India, 2013
SOURCE: MARKETLINE
MARKETLINE
Truck manufacturers generally sell to dealers in the first instance. However, pull-through from end-users (companies
using trucks for in-house transportation or provision of third-party logistics services, and vehicle leasing companies) is
important in this market. Buyers for trucks generally tend to have stronger financial muscle than in the car market as end
users are mainly business customers. Buyers of light trucks are usually business customers such as construction
companies, transportation companies and small independent businesses. Larger companies that require transportation
solutions such as retailers, and petroleum and chemical companies are typical buyers of medium and heavy trucks, with
governments also purchasing trucks for military uses amongst others. Losing these end users has a much larger impact
on truck manufacturers than on individual consumers, thus increasing buyer power. Where trucks are purchased for a
military purpose (Tata Motors produces trucks for the military), there is effectively only one legitimate buyer (the defense
ministry) in each country, resulting in oligopsony market conditions for truck manufacturers and increasing buyer power.
Furthermore, buyers tend to be price sensitive, and this has been a common feature of buyers in recent years due to the
economic climate (although many economies are showing real signs of recovery), with businesses and consumers
looking for ways to keep costs down and save money. The basic functions of trucks do not differ greatly from one
manufacturer to another, which tends to mean that price competition is significant. However, truck manufacturers can
differentiate their products on the basis of quality and reliability, ability to meet custom specs, and after-sales service.
Brand strength and reputation can diminish buyer power to an extent as customers often display loyalty to a particular
brand.
There are relatively low switching costs in this market. For example, drivers with the appropriate class of driving license
are able to drive all trucks within a particular weight category; there is no need for expensive re-training should a fleet
company or owner-operator switch from one make of truck to another. Providers of maintenance services will generally
be able to deal with several manufacturers trucks, at least for domestic truck makers. This strengthens buyer power.
Buyers tend to be fairly reliant on the trucks market, with little in the way of viable alternatives for their transportation
requirements. Trucks will rarely be discretionary purchases for buyers, and the importance of these products to their
business weakens buyer power. Overall, buyer power is assessed as moderate in this market.

Supplier power
Figure 10: Drivers of supplier power in the trucks market in India, 2013
SOURCE: MARKETLINE
MARKETLINE
Suppliers in this market are mainly providers of raw materials and manufacturing equipment. They also include
manufacturers of parts and tires that are not produced in-house. There is fairly low differentiation of primary raw
materials such as aluminum, copper, and steel between suppliers, thus reducing switching costs. However, truck
manufacturers may have limited power to influence the price of these commodities. One truck manufacturer will only
constitute a small part of a suppliers overall revenues, strengthening suppliers' position in this market.
Other important inputs are much less commoditized. Components such as electronic assemblies and powertrain parts
are supplied by a more limited range of specialized companies. Truck manufacturers often use long-term supply
contracts to defend against volatility in raw material and component prices. However, this will also tend to raise switching
costs. Where components are highly specialized, it may be difficult to find new suppliers capable of offering genuine
alternatives. These factors strengthen supplier power.
Furthermore, the high importance of the materials to the success of a truck manufacturers' business enhances their
position further. In keeping with emission regulations, vehicle manufacturers utilize technologies such as NOx absorbers
and SRC (selective catalytic reduction) systems, meaning that they are more reliant on suppliers, as failure to comply
leads to heavy taxation. Suppliers are able to implement forward integration, although this vertical integration also
applies to market players in terms of component manufacture. Overall supplier power in this market is moderate.

New entrants
Figure 11: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the trucks market in India, 2013
SOURCE: MARKETLINE
MARKETLINE
Switching costs are relatively low in the trucks market as drivers with the appropriate class of driving license are able to
drive all trucks within a particular weight category, and buyers of trucks are not always tied down to contracts. This
provides an impetus for potential new entrants, although the level of differentiation can become an entry barrier for
specific areas of the truck market. For example, pick-up trucks are relatively commoditized and dominated by the likes of
Ford, Toyota and General Motors. However there is room for differentiation among other areas of the truck market, such
as the medium and heavy truck segment, which could lead to an increased likelihood of new entrants. For example a
new entrant could target the niche market of military trucks which would allow them to offer highly differentiated vehicles.
Scales of economy are prohibitive for new entrants in the truck market due to the nature of the manufacturing industry,
as are the high fixed costs associated with suitable manufacturing facilities and equipment. The degree of government
regulation can also deter new entrants, with new trucks having to adhere to strict emissions standards, in addition to
health and safety concerns in regards to the manufacturing process itself and the vehicles produced. In 2003, the
National Auto Fuel Policy was announced in India, which introduced a phased program for emission and fuel regulation.
The country follows European Union emissions directives, and as of 2010 Euro III had been adopted nationwide, with
Euro IV in selected regions, for all vehicles.
Another factor likely to deter new entrants is the likelihood of established truck manufacturers retaliating to a new
competitor, usually by exploiting their significant economies of scale through price wars. However, accessibility to
suppliers and distribution is something new entrants have a greater degree of control over, suppliers are unlikely to turn
down a new customer, and when assessing where to build a manufacturing facility, distribution will be one of the key
factors in that decision making process.
Another entry barrier is the degree of IP involved in modern trucks, although there is a niche for basic 'value' trucks,
modern trucks require a certain degree of technology in order to meet not only government dictated emissions
standards, but also to meet customer requirements such as driver aids and high fuel efficiency. Furthermore, the brand
strength and reputation of established truck manufacturers also creates difficulties in getting recognized for new entrants.
The likelihood of new entrants to this market is assessed as moderate at present.

Threat of substitutes
Figure 12: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the trucks market in India, 2013
SOURCE: MARKETLINE
MARKETLINE
Substitutes in this market are primarily second-hand vehicles. It is more common for smaller businesses and companies
in developing countries to buy used vehicles as they are less likely to be able to afford new trucks. However, new
emission standards, together with technological solutions and fuel economy, may lead to a situation in which it is more
economical to purchase new vehicles than second-hand vehicles due to the savings more technologically advanced
vehicles offer. For some buyers, more relevant substitutes may be alternative modes of transportation such as rail
freight, waterways (for example canals, rivers and lakes), or air freight. However, the actual threat to truck sales from
these alternative modes of transport depends on what kind of goods are carried: if high-volume bulk commodities such
as coal are the main freight carried by rail, then the threat to trucks is less, because it would not be economical in any
case to transport these goods by road, furthermore these modes of transport wouldn't be viable alternatives if a logistics
company carries out multi-drop deliveries. Where a company judges that rail, air or water transportation is more costeffective than road transport, especially where supported by government, the demand for trucks may be threatened.
Overall, the threat of substitutes is moderate.

Degree of rivalry
Figure 13: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the trucks market in India, 2013
SOURCE: MARKETLINE
MARKETLINE
The typically large size of competitors in the trucks market increases rivalry. For example Ford, Chrysler, GM and Toyota
all manufacture a range of popular pick-up trucks and are four of the largest auto manufacturers in the world. However,
in certain countries domestic manufacturers may not be considered particularly large on a global scale, but are classed
as large for the country they operate in, e.g. Mahindra & Mahindra in India. A majority of car manufacturers produce
trucks in some form, whether they be pick-up trucks or light commercial vehicles, however the manufacturers of heavy
trucks and buses are fewer in number due to lower demand. Overall, a combination of the number of players, and their
large size, results in increased rivalry.
As previously discussed, switching costs are not particularly high, with the level of differentiation also tending to be
relatively low, apart from niche trucks such as those used for military applications, which tempers rivalry somewhat.
However, the high fixed costs associated with truck manufacturing due to the high cost of specialized manufacturing
equipment and suitably located facilities, coupled with the need for high-skilled labor, tends to increase rivalry. As do the
high exit barriers, due to the difficulty companies may face in divesting facilities and equipment. Furthermore, storage
costs of completed trucks, parts, and completed components etc. is expensive due to their size, and results in pressure
on rivalry.
The ease with which truck manufacturers can expand their production lines, vehicle manufacturers often have spare
capacity, eases rivalry, although if a truck manufacturer finds itself lacking the capacity to meet demand it can be time
consuming and costly to expand its facilities. The similarity of players also serves to reduce rivalry as players with similar
business models and structures are more predictable than players with widely divergent histories and cultures which may
behave in ways that are difficult for their competitors to predict. The level of growth experienced in India has also
contributed to a reduction in rivalry. Overall, the degree of rivalry is assessed as moderate.
