Russia Remittance and Bill Payments Market Research Report to 2021: Ken Research

How Russia Remittance and Bill Payments Market Is Positioned in Russia?
The Russian remittance industry has witnessed growth at a decreasing rate over the years. The outbound remittance from Russia dominates the Russia Remittance Market. With around USD ~ million of total outbound remittance, in 2016 Russia was ranked ~ largest country in the list of remittance sending countries. In the year 2016, the share of outbound remittances was USD ~ million as compared to a minor share of USD ~ million for the inbound remittances.
Remittance fund sent by migrants in Russia to their families help them meet their daily expenses. Better job opportunities with high salary and better standard of living are the main reasons for the overall growth of the remittance and the bill payment industry. However there was a sharp decline in the growth rate of international remittance market in 2014-2016. This abrupt fall was majorly contributed by the decline in commodity prices, especially oil in the remittance sending countries and the high exchange rates.
The Russia Remittance Industry has been dominated by five major players having a lion share of ~% in the total remittance market. Traditionally the Russian population used only cash transfers but the expansion in online methods and mobile based services have encouraged people to use electronic modes also. In the past few years the growth in the bill payment market size has been over ~% in Russia. The Bill Payment market in Russia increased from USD ~ million in 2011 to USD ~ million in 2016 on account of the tremendous progress in the areas of utilities, entertainment, health and education. Grocery bills and utility bills has been dominated the bill payment market. In the recent years the number of mobile subscriptions increased from ~ in 2011 to ~ in 2013 and the electricity generation increased from ~ kilowatt in 2011 to ~ kilowatt in 2013.
Which Channel of Remittance is Preffered in Russia the Most?
International remittances from Russia are generally done through two major channels such as banks and MTOs. Banks are the highly preferred channel for the cross-border remittances. The share of banks has been dominating the market with more than ~% share in the market consistently over the past five years. The share of banks has been high in both outbound and inbound remittance transactions. Though the process of transferring money through banking channels is complex in the country due to enforcement of law regarding Russian Payments systems the channel accounted for the higher share. The major factor attracting people towards the banks include the low remittance fee and faster transfers.
They provide direct money transfer and remittance services internationally through correspondent accounts in foreign banks.
When a migrant remits money from a bank in Russia to the United States or to the Western Europe, the correspondent account of the commercial bank is first credited by the remittance amount and then the bank account of the recipient is credited or a money order payment in the name of the recipient is issued. Funds can be transferred on cash to cash, cash to account, or account to account basis. The wide presence of banks in the country in numbers in both urban and rural areas also supports the domination of banks in the international remittance market of Russia.
MTOs represent money transfer organizations in the country that enables the migrants to transfer money from Russia to their origin destinations.
The geographical presence of MTOs within Russia is smaller in comparison to the banks. MTOs lack in number of branches. The trend visible in the market is that the transaction volume derived, both outbound and inbound have been declining over the past five years.
On the basis of transaction volume the market presence of MTOs have declined at a CAGR of ~% during the period of 2011-2016. The major MTOs include Western Union, MoneyGram, Unistream and Contact. People in the country generally prefer remitting money in cash and they trust banks more for the same.
Moreover, the MTOs in the country do not have a differentiation in the services offered to the customers in comparison to the banks that acts as a weakness for them. Lack of penetration, promotional efforts, balanced presence in rural-urban areas acts as factors restraining the growth of MTOs in the international remittance space. Obtaining MTO license in Russia is also difficult that restrains from the channel to maintain an active presence. The share of MTOs in the international remittance market declined from ~% in 2011 to ~% in 2016.
Which Type Of Service is Used the Most For Remittance in Russia?
In the Russia Remittance Market the majority of the share in terms of transaction volume is dominated by cash transfer. The total market size captured by cash transfers has grown from ~% in 2011 to about ~% in 2016. There has been constant growth in the market share of cash transfers from the past five years on account of the security conscious population in Russia. All the banking and non-banking channels in the country prefer cash transfer to remit funds to the Non-CIS countries. The low growth of digital market in the country does not encourage transfer of funds through electronic mode. Mostly the low and middle income group prefers to remit funds through cash. New law passed in order to restrict cross border transfer of funds to countries barring Russian Payments System (RPS) has also made cash transfer more common. Electronic transfer has only contributed ~% in 2016. The reason is the low development of digital methods and internet access in the country. Mostly the middle and higher income group prefers to remit funds electronically. The share has increased a little from ~% in the year 2015 to ~% in the year 2016 due increasing awareness about internet access among the middle aged groups. Moreover, the other reason was introduction of electronic transfer services like Bank cards, NEFT and RTGS by the developing financial institutions.
Which Type Of Bill Dominates the Bill Payments Market in Russia?
The volume of transactions made for the purchase of groceries dominated the bill payments market of Russia with a share of ~% as of 2016. The quantity and the frequency of the groceries purchased by the people supports the domination of this category. The share of utilities followed grocery bills in the total bill payment market. Utilities include bills for electricity, water, gas and others. These are the basic necessities which are used for day to day activities in every household. The major share in utility bills is occupied by electricity bills accounting to ~%. Mobile Recharge is the second largest contributor in the country in the bill payment segment. The mobile recharge bill payments have witnessed a robust growth from the past one decade. The use of mobile phones by every age group of people and the surging demand of smart phones in the country has contributed in rising mobile recharge industry. In 2016, there were ~ online consumers in the age group 16-55 years. The mobile 3G and 4G subscribers have increased from ~ million in 2011 to ~ million in 2015. The increase in the penetration of broadband internet service has coupled with the growing popularity of DTH services. The broadband internet subscribers increased by~% to reach ~ million in 2016.
How the Competition is Prevailing in Russia Remittance Market
Russian remittance market is fragmented in nature on account of the presence of small, medium and large companies in Russia. The Russia-Ukraine is the second largest migration corridor in the world and the Ukraine-Russia is the fourth largest corridor in the world. These corridors facilitate large scale migration and rise in competition among the players in Russia in terms of offering services for remittance flows.
The Russian remittance industry is traditionally dominated by companies including Korona Pay, Contact, Western Union and MoneyGram. The competition among the companies is in terms of the special customer satisfaction services provided and the transaction fee charged per transaction to remit the funds.
The transitional phase of preferring digital methods to remit funds is still in the infant stage of development which accounts for a major share of the traditional money transfer companies in the overall remittance market.

US Seed Market Outlook Remains Challenging with Decline in Crop Receipts and Consolidation in Incumbent Crops Category: Ken Research

US Seed market by Type of Crops (Corn, Cotton, Soyabean, Wheat, Rice, Grain Sorghum, Oats, Vegetable Seeds), By Technology (Hybrid, GM Seeds, Open Pollinated), by Region, and Market Share of Major Seed Manufacturers (Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer Cropscience, LimaGrain, Rjik Zwaan, Sakata, Bejo, Dupoint)
Lower output prices have impacted corn seed market with substitution effect witnessed to Soybeans from US Farmers
Seed companies are prudent to plan the inventories based on commodity prices, trait adoption or hybrid selection
Ken Research in its latest study, The US Seed Market Outlook to 2022 – By Crop Type (Corn, Cotton, Soyabean, Wheat, Rice, Grain Sorghum, Oats, Vegetable Seeds), by Open Pollinated, Hybrid and Genetically Modified Seeds, suggested that with seed traits in corn, soybean, canola, cotton, sugar beet and alfalfa, around 80-90% of the US cultivated area is planted with genetically engineered technology which equates to around 95% of the world GM crops area for corn, soybean, canola and sugar beet combined.
The US Seed industry is the largest seed market in the world with the land under cultivation of 911 million acres and average farm size of 442 acres in 2016. The US and Canada combined together contributed around 10% of the global planted area and over 50% of the global GM crops area. Around 70% of the cultivated area is sowed with corn, soybean and wheat, which fluctuate every year but are largely equal in terms of significance, followed by canola, alfalfa, cotton and barley.
The country’s seed economics are largely driven by commodity prices, hybrid breed selection and crop rotation cycle, farm holding structure. In many regions in the US, farmers’ economics are not favorable in terms of cost to farm income. Rising input cost and falling agricultural commodity prices have led to rapid plunge in farm income. Corn, cotton and soybeans have seen higher rise in input cost vis a viz production value from farmers perspective in the last year. After three successive years of weakened performance, agriculture crop profits are expected to decline in 2017.
The cash income from crop sales during the 2017 is expected to be around USD 190 billion, a decline of USD 3.8 billion i.e. 2.0% from 2016. Corn receipts are expected to decline for the fifth successive year by 0.5% in 2017 as the U.S. average corn price is estimated to drop in this year. Despite an expected rise in wheat prices, wheat receipts are estimated to decline by USD 0.5 billion from 2016 due to an expected de-growth in wheat quantities sold. Lower soybean receipts (USD 3.2 billion or 7.6%) in 2017 underscore a reduction in quantity sold which is more than offsetting increase in soybean prices. Receipts from Rice are estimated to decline by 4.5% in 2017 which will reflect a reduced average commodity price and quantities sold. The expected growth of USD 2.2 billion or 37.2 % in 2017 cotton receipts will be underscore by a large growth in the quantity of upland cotton sold.
The US is the foremost adopter of GM traits and has the largest number of traits used per hectare. It is anticipated in the coming years, the seed industry will witness the acquisition of some of the private seed companies specialized in 1-2 hybrid crop variants by companies that have invested heavily in the research and development of biotechnology traits. These acquisitions are anticipated in vegetable and fruit seed market.

North America Contribute approximately 35% of the Global Seeds and Traits Market: Ken Research

GM seed segment is the leading market in the US seed industry owing to the increase in productivity and resistance from pests and herbicides.
The US seeds market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 6% during 2017 – 2022
The report titled “The US Seed Market Outlook to 2022 – By Crop Type (Corn, Cotton, Soyabean, Wheat, Rice, Grain Sorghum, Oats, Vegetable Seeds), by Open Pollinated, Hybrid and Genetically Modified Seeds” by Ken Research anticipate a resilient and challenging outlook for incumbent seed segments such as Corn, soybean and see stable growth in Vegetable seed, Wheat and Sugarbeet seed space with anticipated growth in GM adoption in the next 5 years.
The US is the largest and the most diverse global commercial seed market, which is followed by China, France, Brazil and Canada. The seed industry is the US is concentrated among the few big players though there are over 750 private seed companies engaged in the business with an offering of over 60,000 seed varieties of planting seeds.
The distribution channel in US seed industry varies between multiple states however it is mostly led by the dealer channel and retail channel. Seed companies also tend to sell directly to the farmers in case of large operations. For input providers, channel retailers and dealers are significant partners as they manage directly the relationship with the farmer.
The US has observed the approval of 195 single trait events in 20 crop species: alfalfa (3 events), apple (3), Argentine canola (20), chicory (3), cotton (28), creeping bentgrass (1), flax (1), maize (43), melon (2), papaya (3), plum (1), potato (43), rice (3), rose (2), soybean (24), squash (2), sugar beet (3), tobacco (1), tomato (8), and wheat (1) since 1996. In 2016 itself, food, feed and cultivation approvals were made for apple (1 event), maize (2) and potato (3).
The GM seed crop area in the US recorded a growth of 3% at around 73 million hectares which is about 39% of the global biotech area in 2016. GM seed prices differs with trait stacking/bundling, perceived agronomic conditions in each US region in terms of pest infestations, rainfall, others and availability of substitute seeds, commodity prices, and farmer income.
As the biotech seeds adoption rate is rising, the competition in the seed business has become more challenging. Companies with a high market share in regions which experience significant acreage shifts could realize more loss than companies with a lower share.
According to Ken Research, DuPont Pioneer and Monsanto have continued to dominate over 70% of the corn seed business and about 60% of the soybean seed market in the US in 2016. This level of concentration among major corporations which sell patented seeds makes the seed sector a monopolistic nature in top grain markets. The proposed agrochemical mergers such as Bayer with Monsanto, Dupont with Dow Chemical and ChemChina with Syngenta will make the concentration more intense.
