Sales Numbers Indicate Turnaround, A Slow One Though
Car sales in India grew by 15.16% in August, 2014 as compared to sales in the same period the previous year. As per the data released by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), a total of 1,53,758 units were sold in the domestic market in August 2014; the number was 1,33,513 units the previous year.
Maruti Suzuki India, Hyundai and Honda Motor are the top three car manufacturers in India. All three recorded a double digit growth in August 2014 as against August 2013. Maruti Suzuki had maximum domestic monthly sales i.e. 82,823 units, which is up by 30% against the sales for the same period the previous year. Car models that contributed the most to Maruti's growth include Swift, Dzire, Celerio and Ertiga.
The second biggest car manufacturer, Hyundai Motor India, sold 33,593 units in August 2014, registering a growth of 19% over the sales in the same month of 2013. Honda Cars India's growth rate for August 2014 was 27% as compared to the sales registered in the same period of 2013.
These numbers surely hint at an Indian automobile industry turnaround, albeit at a slower pace. Mr. Vishnu Mathur, SIAM Director General validates the same: "The auto industry is seeing a gradual increase and even the cumulative numbers are seeing improvements month-on-month. We can see a slow turnaround happening."1
To hold the market, automotive players focus attentively on customer relationship building and after sales services. This means there will be an increase in job opportunities for CRM Managers.
