BIRDBackground
• India has been known for its large ‘unorganized’ market which
exists across industry segments
• A large part of this market caters to not just unbranded but also
counterfeit products
• Auto components is one such segment where it is estimated that a
large proportion of the market is invaded by counterfeit products
• Such low quality products have a negative impact on the brand
equity of automobile & automotive component manufacturers
5
Research-based Consultancy for B2B and technology Markets
BIRDNeed for Research
• Therefore, Indian automobile manufacturers wanted to understand
and size the counterfeit market to:– Develop intervention to curb this market
– Provide quality products to their consumers
– Curb the negative impact on their brands
– Curb the revenue losses suffered due to this market
• Under the aegis of Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers
(SIAM), automobile majors formed a task force to address this
need

BIRDSeveral products from ‘unorganized’ sector
exist in the market today…
Type of Part Examples
Genuine Imports Bosch spark plugs not meant for Indian models
Genuine Discards Parts discarded from industrial products, ocean vessels, railway wagons etc
Used Parts Parts refurbished and reused in vehicles by mechanics
Unbranded Parts Parts with no markings or brand names
Branded Duplicates 1. Brands in original or copied packaging of OEM2. Brands with similar sounding names like ‘Assahi’ vs. Asahi3. Parts with fake markings for ISI/BIS/EN etc
Cross Category Duplicates
Fenner clutch levers when Fenner does not make clutch levers
These are the ones we have focused
on for purpose of this research

Counterfeit auto components market in India- Private vehicles
- Commercial vehicles
37
Research-based Consultancy for B2B and technology Markets
BIRDDefinition of counterfeits?
• Counterfeit components are the illicit duplicates of genuine
components being manufactured by unorganized sector players
illegally
• Counterfeit manufacturers do not pay any:
– Excise duties
– Sales tax/VAT
• Cater to the after market replacement demand across the country
• They infringe the IPR of organized sector component manufacturers
• Have limited capital and technological knowledge
38
Research-based Consultancy for B2B and technology Markets
BIRDAssumptions used for estimation of counterfeit
component market
• Vehicles going to Authorized service stations buy only genuine components
• It is assumed that private vehicles in first three years and commercial vehicles in
the first year are under warranty and/or free service contract and hence, usually
do not visit unauthorized service station (this was also used as the pre condition
for interviewing)
• A user with similar running habits and having vehicle of same age would be
spending similar amount on maintenance
• A user will be purchasing similar brand of auto components each time he visits a
service station of his choice

expenditure against amount spent on the last service
• All the assumptions specified earlier for computation of counterfeit components market of private vehicles are applicable in the case of commercial vehicles also
• Average monthly expenditure on service was captured and annual maintenance expenditure was calculated for:
– Authorized service station users
– Non-authorized service stations
• Respondents were then asked to recall last few component purchases and give an approximate break-up of amount spent on the following brand of components
– OEM approved genuine parts
– Other brands
– Local brands
– Duplicate brands

• Size of auto components industry in India : Rs.38200 crores (approx)
• Share of OE sales and exports ~ Rs. 28000 crores (approx)
• Share of replacement/after market ~ Rs. 12000 crores (approx)
– 30% of total replacement market ~ Rs 3600 crores
– 40% of total replacement market ~ Rs. 4800 crores
• So according to the experts, the market of counterfeit components in India
should be somewhere between
Rs. 3600 to Rs. 4800 crores• The primary research estimates are slightly higher probably because older
vehicles are not going to authorized service stations
Also according to experts, counterfeit components should constitute not more than 30%-40% of the total replacement market in India Source: Depth Interviews

BIRDFactors causing high penetration of counterfeit
components in the replacement market
• Higher margins from counterfeit components– Margins can be as high as 40% – 50% in case of some brands– No pressure on the margins in future
• Short supply of OE components– Irregular supply of components– Higher turnaround time
• Aggressive pricing policy of the organized sector– Price difference can be as high as 70% as counterfeit manufacturers evade
government taxes and use inferior material– Mechanics and garages also gain as a result of selling counterfeit and earning
higher margins
• Lack of awareness among customers– Inability of customers to differentiate– Lack of education among the customers
61
Research-based Consultancy for B2B and technology Markets
BIRDFactors causing high penetration of counterfeit
components in the replacement market (contd)
• High trust placed on other service stations– Blind trust on other service stations who tend to push counterfeit components
• In case of commercial vehicles, lack of options available on highways supplying genuine components– Commercial vehicle owners have no option but to trust their drivers about the
brand of component purchased
• Easy availability of cheap scrap – Partially destroyed components rejected by quality team of the OEM– In case of commercial vehicles, scrap sales from STC and other government
institutions through auction
• Availability of second hand high quality printing presses – Easy to copy any type of packaging
• Inadequate government regulations and norms

• Components are broadly divided into 2 categories– CFT : Critical function and safety related– NCFT: Non-critical function related
• The former type are sourced directly from the automobile/auto component manufacturer– Latter is sourced from vendors chosen by ASRTU on rate contracts– ASRTU has fixed norms for choosing the vendor

In case a commercial vehicle breaks down on a highway, the driver has the authority to purchase the component…the money can be taken from conductor
• Purchase process of components– Through tenders for 18 month period
• Includes 6 month buffer stock
– Monthly delivery of components– Random checks on components to check the quality of material– In case of non-availability of components the regional spares in-charge has
the authority to arrange for components from outside• Generally it happens in 1-2% of cases and counterfeit components can enter in
such cases
– In case of a sudden breakdown the driver can purchase the components from outside and show the bill to reimburse expenses

Some Suggestions to curb
the growing menace
159
Research-based Consultancy for B2B and technology Markets
BIRD
Public-private partnership for education of customers against evils of using such components is imperative…
• Jaago Grahak Jaago– This famous tag-line being used by consumer protection cell can also be
replicated in the case of counterfeit components – As large percentage of customers are buying such illicit duplicates under the
impression of being genuine– And as we all know, the kind of danger the consumer and his loved ones are
exposed to on using such duplicate components– Spreading education and awareness among the customers is most important
and this effort has to be jointly supported by public and private stakeholders
• Education of channel members and law enforcement agencies– In addition to the education of the customers, the channel members and law
enforcement agencies need to be educated– This would help in identification and removal of counterfeits from the supply
side

BIRDOEM backed service stations/mobile vans need
to provided on National Highways
• According to experts a high percentage of counterfeit components for commercial vehicles are being pushed on National Highways– It is estimated that truck-owners in India spend Rs.220 bn annually on
maintenance of trucks (Source: The Elgi Magazine)
• Despite such huge expenditure, the truck owners had access only to spurious low quality spares and maintenance by untrained mechanics
– The drivers purchase spurious components and claim bills for original components. Though the fleet owner are aware of such malpractices but they do not have any other option
• In our primary survey also, majority of truck owners have recommended expansion of network by the vehicle manufacturers
– In developed countries, there are special services targeted at commercial vehicles commuting on the highways
– Such services offer monthly preventive maintenance and emergency vehicle repairs which are just a phone-call away
• Infrastructure provided includes workshops on highways in addition to mobile vans
161

Sharing of market intelligence among the various vehicle manufacturers through associations will definitely help in curbing this menace
• As different vehicle manufacturers, are operating from different geographies the market intelligence is bound to differ– Sharing of market intelligence will help in reduction of counterfeits in the
market fulfilment resulting in better future
• Rationalization of taxes and duty structure– Price difference between an original and counterfeit component can range
between 50% - 150% for high end vehicles– Reduction in the taxes might act as a de-motivator for counterfeit
manufacturers
• Organized retail chains – One-stop shop for various types of genuine components especially in
Northern region where counterfeiting is being done at a very large scale
• Non-metros and small towns to be given equal importance if not more in terms of education

Summarizing…
163
Research-based Consultancy for B2B and technology Markets
BIRDKey take-out
Improve awareness of counterfeiting and damages caused among private and commercial vehicle ownersCurrent awareness levels are rather moderate at around 40% awareness only. The message needs to be reinforced continuously by way of an extensive PR activity
Suggested game planPromote use of original equipment and authorized service centres through advertisements in suitable media (auto magazines, general magazines, newspapers, etc.) and articles.
Suggestion 1
Messaging clearly needs to highlight the financial benefits (low breakdown rate leading to lower maintenance cost) and conevnience aspect (lesser number of trips to service station, avoid embarassment on the road)
Get new car owners hooked to authorized service stations by hoardings and materials in the service station, TV messages in waiting rooms, pamphlets, etc.
Target not only owners but also car drivers and auto-mechanics on the benefits of genuine components and how it is more beneficial in the long-run to use genuine components

Suggested action plan
Awareness Interest Desire Action
Through advertisements in T.V., radio, Internet and industry magazines
Through detailed articles and customer experience studies on websites, newspapers, T.V. auto shows, etc on the benefits of genuine components
By offering value for money warranty offerings, reaching out to even for second hand and old vehicles by way of loyalty programs
By improving the distribution infrastructure of auto components, network of authorized service stations, allow buying `only components’ from service stations

BIRDHow do counterfeit components enter the
market?• Different respondents have different view
points. However, one thing which was common was that majority of such components enter the market through the channel:
Auto Component Manufacturers
Authorised Distributors
Wholesalers
Retailer
Mechanic
Majority believe that it enters at the retailer level
Some also believe that wholesalers push it
Customer
Few say mechanics are also involved

Counterfeits
Vicious cycle forcing channel members to push counterfeits • Want to deal with the
customers directly
• Contracts with auto-component manufacturers for supply of components at decreasing prices in future
• Forced to maximize profits from replacement market
• Aggressive pricing policy
• Do not consider economic feasibility of channel at times
• In recent past have squeezed margins of channel in order to become more competitive
• Bear the brunt of reducing margins
• Temptation to earn higher margins
• No incentives for being a faithful member
180
Research-based Consultancy for B2B and technology Markets
BIRDCounterfeit manufacturers are exclusively into the
business of manufacturing such components
• Domestic counterfeit manufacturers– Have tie-ups with retailers and wholesalers– Source second hand cheap machinery– Have manufacturing at one place and printing
at another• Gather both at one place and pack them as
original
– Fast moving components are being copied– Dies are counterfeited by reverse engineering– Capacity to duplicate any component within 3-4
days after change in packaging
Source of Counterfeits
• Imports– Mainly from China and
other Asian countries– Illegally enter the
country– Most of the time
components come unbranded and unpacked
– Quality comparatively better
Key hubs in India: Punjab (Ludhiana, Jalandhar) Delhi and Tamil Nadu

Counterfeit components have a negative impact on the brand image and trust placed by the customers on OEMs and their partners
• Customers are under the impression that they are purchasing genuine
components but in actual counterfeit components have been pushed:
– Such components underperforms with respect to the expectations resulting in
negative brand association and ultimately negative word of mouth
– It also has a negative impact on the sales of the organized sector player
– In addition to the domestic market users, the export market is also affected by
counterfeit components• Major auto component manufacturers have conducted raids and caught export
consignments containing counterfeit components under their brand name to key hubs
across the world especially Dubai
– Mico Bosch caught an export consignment worth Rs.50 crores containing
fast moving counterfeit components under their brand name
– Though most of the stakeholders have taken some kind of initiatives in this regard
182
Research-based Consultancy for B2B and technology Markets
BIRDKey initiatives taken to curb the menace of counterfeit
components by various stakeholders
• Investing resources to have a separate brand protection cell within the organization• Use of inventive holograms in packaging• Educating the customers, channel about the change in packaging through
exhibitions/ campaigns/ mobile vans/ melas etc• Hiring specialized agencies to conduct raids on counterfeit manufacturers and
sellers• Getting closer to the customer by supplying components to the after market directly
rather than through the vendors• Opening company owned showrooms in key urban areas in order to provide
genuine components to the customers• Regular stock audits carried out on the channel members in order to instil a sense
of discipline• Dealing with large institutional buyers directly and not through channel

BIRDSome quotes to be shared…
“….CF manufacturers copy anything which sells…..” - large auto component manufacturer
“….channel members also want to eat chicken and drink alcohol, but at the current margins they are not able to do that…..thus they sell CF components….”
- large auto component manufacturer“…social ethics need to created against the purchase of CF….as all the customers purchase
such components on the assumption that they are purchasing genuine components….”- large OEM & Association
“…change in packaging is a viscous cycles, it results in more confusion in the market among the channel and customers….also within 3-4 day period it is again copied…”
- large auto component manufacturer“…there could be some counterfeit components being passed through company ASS in remote
locations when supply is irregular….” - large OEM
“…government should place adequate checks in order to ensure supply of genuine components in case of large institutional purchases…”
