Peak (2018) to peak (2023) market share change
2018 was the best year before the pandemic for the PV industry, & many automakers posted their best sales figures. However, 2023 has been different. Many old players lost market share due to aggressive new entrants like Kia & MG, followed by resurgent homegrown car makers like Tata & Mahindra.
Maruti, Hyundai, Honda, & Renault have lost considerable market share since 2018. Their traditional product portfolio composed of hatchbacks & sedans, has fewer takers in the Indian market as of now. However, their SUV portfolio has been successful in 2023, except for Renault.
A new & refreshed product portfolio has helped Toyota, Mahindra & Tata to gain significant market share in the past 3 years.
