DI supported a global motorbike company in Southeast Asia
• Client: a global motorbike company
• Country: Southeast Asia
• Industry: Mobility
Background:
A global motorbike manufacturer observed a shift in consumer behavior as motorbike markets in Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia matured and became commoditized. While the company historically focused on improving manufacturing processes to address dissatisfaction points, they recognized a potential untapped segment of consumers driven by emotional or impulsive decisions. These consumers reportedly make purchases “just because they feel like it,” often influenced by others’ recommendations, and finalize decisions within a week.
To capitalize on this trend, the client sought to understand the broader changes in market dynamics and consumer decision-making. DI was engaged to conduct strategic market research and consumer interviews to uncover the underlying purchase decision structure segmented by market. The goal was to provide a comprehensive understanding of evolving market behaviors and propose actionable strategies to guide the development of a mid-term business plan targeting Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia, aligned with the client’s vision for growth.
Support overview:

Strategic Market Research: DI conducted in-depth research to examine the evolution of motorbike markets in Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia. This included studying industry trends, consumer demographics, and the impact of market maturity on purchasing behaviors.
Consumer Behavior Analysis: Through detailed interviews and surveys, DI gathered insights into the purchase decision-making process of different consumer segments. Emphasis was placed on understanding the impulsive/emotion-driven segment, exploring their motivations, influences, and behaviors.
Decision-Making Structure Mapping: DI drew a comprehensive big picture of the purchase decision-making process, identifying key drivers, barriers, and the influence of peer recommendations on purchase outcomes.
Segmentation Strategy: DI developed a clear segmentation framework to distinguish between consumer types, enabling the client to target each segment effectively.
Strategic Recommendations: Based on the findings, DI proposed actionable strategies for market positioning, product differentiation, and consumer engagement. These recommendations served as a foundation for crafting a mid-term business plan tailored to the specific dynamics of each target market.
