Bajaj Autos

India’s Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor are quickly capturing the twowheeler market share in the African continent. Such has been the rise of the Indian brands that the number of Chinese companies present in the African market has come down from more than 200 a decade back to less than 40 now. If the Chinese held as much as 95-100% of the market a decade ago, now they share it almost equally with the Indian manufacturers. Bajaj Auto is the No. 1 or 2 in more than a dozen African markets, with a cumulative market share of 40% of
the 2.4-2.7 million twowheelers sold there. It sold more than a million vehicles in Africa in the fiscal year ended in March 2020, recording a compounded annual growth rate of 30% in the last three years.
