Introduction
Consumer behavior is affected by various variables ranging from personality characteristics,
professional needs, attitudes and values, social economic and cultural background, Age, Gender,
professional status to social influences of various kinds exerted a family, friends, colleagues, and
society as a whole. The combination of these factors help the consumer in decision making. There are
four major factors which influences on the buying behavior of consumer i.e Cultural factors, Social
factors, Personal factors and Psychological factors.
The Automobile Industry is growing faster now two wheelers are more in demand. Market leadership
cannot be taken for granted because customer loyalty does not exist. India is the second largest
producer of the two-wheeler in the world. The customer today has a much wider choice. The two
wheeler segment contribute the largest volume in automobile industry in India. The country stands
next to China and Japan in terms of production and sales respectively. The industry is growing at a
rate of 30% annually. It consists of three segment viz. scooter, motorcycle and moped. Majority of
Indians, especially the youngster prefer motorbikes rather than cars. Capturing a large share in the two
wheeler industry, bikes and scooter covers a major segment. Bikes are considered to be the favorites
among the young generation, as they help in easy means of transport, styling and mileage and has
more visual appeal.

a sound basis for identifying and understanding customers‟ needs. Customers' behaviour study is
concerned with his buying behaviour rather than consumption. It might be easy sometimes easy but
might be impossible to predict the behaviour of consumer. The analysis results that technical
designing, financial Schemes, advertisement mode and personal benefits are the factors that
significantly affected by demographic variable.
The Indian two wheeler industry has shown rapid rate of growth in last one decade. Its share
in automobile industry has increased from 15% in 2001 to 16.3% in 2015. Annual sales by industry
have increased from Rs. 7486 crore in 2001 to Rs. 30096.82 crore in 2010. This is also the period
which witnessed the end of Hero Honda‟s 27 years old JV with Honda in 2010. Rising income levels,
reducing excise duties, higher loan tenure and loan-to-value offered by the financing companies have
all fuelled the growth of two-wheeler demand. Besides, mounting traffic chaos and limited parking
space has also increased the demand for two-wheelers from households that can afford or actually do
own a car (Shah, K. and Dangarwala, U.R., 2017).
Review of literature
Singh and Gupta (2012) studied the Indian Automobile Industry by making the SWOT
analysis of the Indian automobile industry.The study showed that India has the potential to develop
into a significant market for automobile manufacturers. Indian automotive industry holds significant
scope for expansion, both in the domestic market, where the vehicle penetration level was on the
lower side as compared to world average. Shende (2014) find out the factors influencing customer‟s
preferences for a particular segment of cars. The study helpful for existing and new entrant car
manufacturing companies in India to find out the customer expectations and their market offering.
Disposable income is the main point of this study which influenced both rural and urban sectors. The
demand for small cars was highest because lower per-capita incomes and high traffic density in urban
area mini and compact sub-segment uses by the customers. Thus the disposable income and
consumers behavior factors influenced the customers. Warne, D.P. and Rani, K. (2014) studied the
customers buying behavior towards small cars segment in Sirsa district. The Factor analysis and
ANOVA techniques had been used on data collected through well structured questionnaire. A data of
23 variables was used to test the significant difference between the groups of respondents that was the
most significant effect on customer‟s behavior towards small cars. The total 165 respondents had been
taken as a sample. According to this study, monthly income is the variable that mostly effect the
customers behavior regarding buying a small car.
Kaushal (2014) examined the buyer behavior in reference to car purchase intentions and
automobile marketing strategies in Uttar Pradesh. In the study, 400 car buyer respondent‟s survey has
been made and responses of all the respondents measured using five-point Likart scale. The
exploratory factor analysis was used to identify the various influencing factors of purchasing the car.
The study is useful for five factors such as security, quality, performance, value and technology and
these dimensions is better predictor of buyers purchase intention towards cars. Gupta and Agarwal
(2013) studied the consumer perception and behavior of the car owners of Alwar district. In this
study, pre testing has been done and a simple random sampling technique was adopted to select the
sample respondents. In this study, 500 interview schedules were prepared but 300 interview schedules
were filled up by the respondents. Descriptive statistical tools such as percentage a mean, median and
standard deviation had been used to describe the profiles of customers. ANOVA, T-test and F-test had
been used to test the significant difference between the groups of respondents in their perception and
satisfaction for selected independent variables like age, sex and income. This study concluded that
consumer behavior plays a vital role in cars marketing.

KMO statistics (0.658) is also large (>0.6). The Sig. value for this analysis leads reject the null
hypothesis and conclude that there are correlations in the data set that are appropriate for factor
analysis.

According to Table No. 3 the Eigen values are the variance of the principal components. It shows that
Eigen value greater than 1.0 results in 8 factors being extracted. From the cumulative percentage of
variance accounted for 53.332 of the total variance by these 8 extracted factors. The first component
accounts for the most variance and have the highest Eigen value, and the second component account
for the next variance factor and so on.

Table 4 shows the dimensions of different factors according to gender and age while the customers
took decision about purchasing a two wheeler. By implementing analysis of variance we can say that
occasion, looks and economic factors have values less than .05 which means that gender doesn‟t have
significant effect on purchasing decisions on the other hand age having singnificant value greater than
.05 which shows that age have significant effect on these factors. Two wheeler designing and show
room facility is the factor that is significantly affected by age and gender.
