Industry Outlook
- Emerging markets and India’s dominance
Emerging and developing economies are expected to maintain stable growth at 4.2%. Within this group, India remains a bright spot, expected to grow by 7% in CY24 and 6.5% in CY25. This provides a strong macroeconomic backdrop for companies like Studds Accessories Ltd, which cater to rising domestic mobility and increasing consumer aspirations.
- India’s economic resilience and growth potential
India is on track to become a USD 5 trillion economy by CY27, with GDP expected to rise from USD 3.6 trillion in CY23 to USD 5.2 trillion in CY27. With growth rates nearly double the global average, India’s strong fundamentals - such as a stable financial system, increased government capital expenditure, and booming service exports - will continue to stimulate demand in urban and rural markets alike. This bodes well for the automotive sector and indirectly boosts demand for helmets and two-wheeler accessories.
- Automotive and two-wheeler sector trends
India is one of the largest two-wheeler markets globally. Rising income levels, better rural penetration, and growing urban population are driving consistent demand for personal mobility solutions. Additionally, government safety regulations, increased awareness, and a cultural shift towards protective gear have significantly boosted helmet adoption.
- Supportive government policies and export opportunities
The "Make in India" initiative, coupled with rising export potential in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America, provides Indian manufacturers an opportunity to scale globally. Moreover, India’s proactive stance on road safety, electric mobility, and regulatory compliance adds momentum to the two-wheeler accessories industry.
Studds Accessories IPO Information
Studds Accessories Ltd is a leading Indian manufacturer of two-wheeler helmets and related accessories. The company designs, manufactures, markets, and sells its products under two major brands – ‘Studds’, catering to mass-market needs, and ‘SMK’, focused on premium, global audiences. In addition to helmets, the company offers a wide range of two-wheeler accessories, including luggage solutions, riding gloves, helmet locking devices, rain suits, riding jackets, and eyewear, all under the ‘Studds’ brand.
Studds has built a strong domestic footprint across India and a robust international presence in over 70 countries, spanning the Americas, Europe, Asia (excluding India), and other global markets. It also engages in OEM manufacturing for reputed international brands such as Jay Squared LLC (Daytona brand) in the USA and O’Neal, serving customers across Europe, the USA, and Australia.
The company is headquartered in Haryana, with Mr. Madhu Bhushan Khurana serving as the Chairman and Managing Director, guiding the company’s strategic growth and global expansion initiatives.
Strengths of Studds Accessories IPO
Market leadership with strong brand equity
The company is India’s largest and the world’s highest volume two-wheeler helmet manufacturer (CY 2024). With nearly five decades of experience and over 7.10 million units sold in FY24, it enjoys strong brand recall through its dual-brand strategy — Studds for mass and SMK for premium segments — ensuring presence across all customer categories.
Vertically integrated operations with robust design capabilities
Studds operates four advanced manufacturing facilities with in-house capabilities like robotic automation, EPS liner production, mold-making, and testing labs certified by VCA, England. Its integrated model ensures quality control, faster innovation, lower costs, and quicker turnaround, supported by a 75-member design and development team focused on cutting-edge, tech-enabled products.
Extensive distribution network with global footprint
With 348 active Indian distributors and exports to over 70 countries, Studds maintains a strong pan-India and international presence. Its diverse sales channels - including OEMs, online platforms, and institutional tie-ups - strengthen its market access and mitigate overreliance on any single channel, ensuring sustainable growth
Risks of Studds Accessories IPO
-
Business dependency and market sensitivity: A significant portion of the firm’s revenue (over 90%) comes from two-wheeler helmets. Any decline in motorcycle sales or reduced demand from OEMs and government customers (which contribute over 15%) could adversely impact sales, cash flows, and financial performance.
-
Operational and supply chain vulnerabilities: Business continuity heavily relies on uninterrupted manufacturing operations and consistent raw material supply from a limited number of vendors (over 40%). Disruptions, price fluctuations, or supply issues could significantly impact production and profitability.
-
Regulatory, branding, and innovation risks: Failure to maintain brand value (Studds’ and ‘SMK’), protect intellectual property, file regulatory forms (like FC-GPR for NRIs), or adapt product designs to customer preferences may lead to legal penalties, reputational damage, and loss of market relevance.
