International Surveys & Indian Auto Industry
Leveraging global insights to drive innovation, growth, and competitiveness in India’s automotive sector.
The Indian automotive industry is one of the fastest-growing markets in the world, with a unique blend of challenges and opportunities. As the sector moves toward electrification, digitalization, sustainability, and global competitiveness, it becomes critical to learn from global experiences. This is where international surveys play a transformative role.
Surveys conducted at a global scale capture insights on consumer preferences, market shifts, technology adoption, and industry best practices. For India, where customer expectations are rapidly changing and government policies are steering the industry toward electric mobility and cleaner energy, these international surveys are not just reports — they are roadmaps for the future.
Why International Surveys Matter
The automotive industry is global by nature. Cars, two-wheelers, EV batteries, and even software systems cross borders in terms of production, supply chain, and consumer influence. International surveys highlight:
- Global trends in vehicle ownership, mobility preferences, and technology usage
- Customer sentiment toward EVs, hybrids, connected cars, and autonomous vehicles
- Regulatory benchmarks in emissions, safety, and digital infrastructure
- Best practices in aftersales service, workshop efficiency, and customer care
For India, these insights act as benchmarks. They allow manufacturers, policymakers, and dealers to align with global standards while tailoring offerings for the unique Indian context.
The Indian Automotive Landscape: A Snapshot
Before diving deeper, let’s understand where India stands today:
- Largest 2-wheeler market in the world
- Rapidly growing EV adoption, especially in 2- and 3-wheelers
- Increasing focus on sustainability and green mobility
- Government initiatives like FAME-II and PLI (Production Linked Incentives) schemes supporting manufacturing
- Rising customer expectations for digital, transparent, and personalized experiences
This mix of growth, innovation, and challenges makes international surveys an essential tool to guide India’s next steps.
Key Benefits of International Surveys for Indian Automotive Growth
Case Studies: Global Learnings for India
