Despite short-term headwinds, 3W industry is expected to grow at a moderate volume CAGR of single digit figure over the next five years. The domestic 3W passenger segment will be benefitted from product up-gradation (2-stroke to 4-stroke, Petrol/Diesel to LPG/CNG) and opening of fresh permits by the state governments. Piaggio has also entered urban 3W space with the launch of their APE City model which run on cleaner fuel like LPG/CNG. The domestic 3W goods segment continues to benefit from its favorable operating economics despite stiff competition from 4W Small Commercial Vehicles (SCVs). Lastly, 3W exports are expected to remain robust due to rapid economic growth, rising disposable incomes, evolving travel & consumption patterns, improving road infrastructure, increasing demand for motorized transportation and inadequate public transport systems in target emerging markets like African, Latin American & South Asian countries. TVS has been making steady inroads in this segment with a exponential growth in the last financial year. Overall, the long-term sales growth is expected to be the highest in the exports segment, followed by that in the passenger carrier segment and the lowest in the goods carrier segment (due to intense competition from the SCV segment).
Apart from the domestic demand, India has also emerged as a major export hub for 3Ws with presence in some of the South Asian, African and Latin American markets that are replicating Indian 3W story with rising disposable incomes but inadequate public transport systems. Overall, the 3W industry has witnessed relatively healthy CAGR volume
growth driven by moderate domestic growth and robust exports growth. However, four-wheeled Small Commercial Vehicles (mainly Tata ACE in 2005-06) has altered the industry dynamics – especially for the cargo segment, considerably over the last few years. While high tonnage (0.75T and above) 3W cargo segment has already lost out to 4W SCVs that provide higher stability, safety, speed, space and style; SCVs are gaining popularity even in the lower tonnage (0.5T) Cargo and Passenger segments with introduction of some of the recently introduced smaller vehicles by CV OEMs. New segments & sub segments are emerging within SCVs with the success of Ashok Leyland Dost in the higher tonnage SCVs segment(Pickup trucks). While domestic 3W goods segment has degrown, SCVs have reported robust CAGR growth over the last few years. Besides, slowing economic growth, high inflation, increase in financing costs, rising fuel prices, absence of fresh permits by the state governments and overall high base has impacted domestic 3W passenger sales in FY13.
