Operations in the oil and gas industry are divided into three major sectors: upstream, midstream, and downstream. Oil and gas companies in this industry are specialized in operations related to either of the three sectors. However, there are large integrated oil and gas companies, such as ExxonMobil, BP, and Chevron that have operations in all three sectors.
Stringent emission standards across the world are driving the adoption of electric fuel injectors (EFI) in two wheelers. These regulations have played a vital role in driving innovations in technology and have encouraged manufacturers to develop low-cost EFI systems. This trend has resulted in the adoption of the said technology in the entry-level two-wheeler market.Although most premium and high-performance two wheelers are equipped with EFI systems, the next target for manufacturers will be the high-volume mid and entrylevel two wheeler segment. This segment remains a price sensitive market and so Technavio expects manufacturers to refine the manufacturing processes to optimize cost.Advances in technology in the areas of mechatronics and compact designing will be the key focus areas from the perspective of OEMs.The market for two wheeler EFI systems is expected to peek until 2016. After which, it will witness declining growth rates until 2020, as the influence of adoption rates gradually fades. After 2016, the market will be directly correlated to twowheeler production by the end of the forecast period.Another factor influencing the market negatively is the rapidly-developing ecosystem for electric two wheelers, especially in China, which is the second largest market for two wheelers (after India). Although internal combustion engines (ICE)-powered two wheelers will hold high volumes by 2020, the market will have little impact.
