Summary

India, the world's largest two-wheeler market, is also the world's largest market for scooter and motorcycle helmets. Due to rising road fatalities and poor road infrastructure in India, many state governments have made helmets mandatory for riders and cyclists. Other initiatives include the Tamil Nadu government enforcing an old motor vehicle rule that requires two-wheeler companies to provide BIS-compliant helmets to their customers. In recent years, two-wheeler manufacturers have begun to sell their own line of helmets. Royal Enfield and Vespa already have their own helmet lines, and now Ather Energy, an electric scooter startup, will launch its own "smart" and Bluetooth-connected helmets. The Government of India’s Ministry of Transportation in November 2020 has issued a no-sale memorandum for helmets not complying with BIS standards. The helmets that do not comply with BIS standards will not be sold in the country after June 2021. The Maharashtra government in Nashik has also launched a NO helmet NO petrol policy in order to encourage people to use helmets as a means of safety.

According to the research report, “India Motorcycle Helmet Market Overview, 2028” published by Bonafide Research, the India market is expected to grow at more than 6.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2028. India's motorcycle helmet manufacturers are investing in cutting-edge technologies to create helmets that provide greater protection and comfort. As a result, there is a greater demand for high-quality helmets that provide superior protection, and with the growing disposable income of the Indian middle class, there is an increased demand for high-quality, branded helmets that provide superior protection and style. Based on research, the market is segmented into smart and non-smart. The non-smart helmet holds the highest market share. During the forecast period the smart helmet is anticipated to gain the maximum CAGR of motorcycle helmet market in India. Smart helmets come with advanced safety features such as built-in sensors that detect impacts and warn riders of potential hazards. These features can significantly improve rider safety, making them a popular choice among safety-conscious riders with the increasing popularity of technology in India, there is a growing demand for smart helmets that offer advanced features such as Bluetooth connectivity, noise-cancellation, and voice commands. The Indian government has launched various initiatives to promote the use of smart helmets, such as offering subsidies to manufacturers to produce smart helmets and incentivizing riders to purchase them.

Based on product type, the market is segmented into full face, half face, and off-road racing. The full-face helmet has the largest market share out of all of them. The full-face helmet is anticipated to rise in the India helmet market during the period of the forecast. Given that they provide the highest level of protection and are favoured by many riders for their safety features, full-face helmets are predicted to dominate the motorcycle helmet market in India. These helmets provide protection against impact and abrasion in the event of an accident by covering the entire head and face. In addition, full-face helmets are preferred by many motorcyclists in India due to their aesthetic value. Riders can express their personalities and sense of style while maintaining their safety on the road with these helmets, which come in a range of patterns and hues.

The market is divided into two parts based on distribution channel: offline distribution channels and online distribution channels. Currently, the offline distribution channel dominates the market. The online segment is expected to significantly dominate the India helmet market during the forecast period. Customers can shop for and purchase helmets without leaving their homes, eliminating the need to visit a physical store. This is especially beneficial for customers who do not live near a motorcycle or bicycle shop or who have demanding schedules and little time to shop in person. Because they have lower overhead costs and can benefit from economies of scale, online retailers frequently offer lower prices on helmets than brick-and-mortar stores.

Based on End user, the market is segmented into two segments based on end users: riders and passengers. During the forecast period, the rider segment will account for the majority of the helmet market in India. The rider segment is the most important market for helmets in the India for several reasons. Motorcycle riding is a popular recreational activity as well as a mode of transportation in India, with millions of riders hitting the road each year. As a result, there is a significant market for motorcycle helmets, with many riders looking for high-quality, long-lasting helmets that will keep them safe in the event of an accident. Helmets are required by law in many states for motorcycle riders.

In the 1970s, a few Indian states, including Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, passed laws requiring motorcycle riders to wear helmets. However, these laws were not strictly enforced, and many riders continued to ride without helmets. The Indian government passed a law in 2001 requiring all riders on all roads to wear helmets. This law also required helmets to meet certain safety standards, such as certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The law also required helmet manufacturers to include the BIS logo on their products.
