Increasing Internet and Smartphone Penetration and Growing Requirement for Customer Convenience to Foster Future Growth of Indonesia On-Demand Services Market: Ken Research

  • The advent of international and domestic transport and delivery companies including Uber and Go-Jek have further streamlined the on-demand services market in the country
  • Increasing Demand for Ride Sharing and Two-Wheeler Transport Services and Technological Advancements through Mergers and Acquisitions


The On-Demand Economy is defined as an economic activity created by technology companies that fulfill consumer demand through the immediate provisioning of goods and services.

Industry Growth On Demand Services, Ride Sharing Apps in Indonesia, On-demand Laundry Market, On Demand Grocery Market, Indonesia Online Food Market, On-Demand Services in Indonesia, Go-Jek Market Share Indonesia, Jakarta Grab Indonesia Market Share, On-demand local services startup investment, Indonesia on-demand laundry app The rising number of individuals making everyday purchases through smartphones will drive the revenue of the on-demand services market in the country. On-demand service providers are faced with many challenges in this market, the most crucial constraint being thin margins. Given their business model and substantial labor needs, reducing margins translates to less profit per transaction. For on-demand service providers, profitability requires significant growth in scale of operations in densely populated areas.
Another important element that on-demand companies need to address to stay ahead of the competition is effective communication. When a customer expects services to be rendered in a fast manner, on-demand companies can’t afford to keep them waiting. In addition, on-demand services must be near users, as proximity is a major logistical issue. As the on-demand economy matures, more successful companies will consume smaller ones. Companies with large capital backing will continue to handle multiple on-demand services at once while pure play companies will look to focus on a single service segment to garner a bulk customer base.
Ken Research in its latest study, “Indonesia On-Demand Services Market Outlook to 2021suggests that Go-Jek, Grab and Uber Indonesia will continue to dominate this space. However, these players will witness rising competition from emerging players including Seekmi, HappyFresh and Alfacart in the coming years.
Indonesia On-Demand Services Market is projected to achieve a positive CAGR of 40.0% during the period 2016-2021. A major factor that will further augment revenues of the on-demand economy and incentivize more companies to enter this space will be the increasing VC funding coupled with companies further developing their own payments gateway.

Potential Emphasis of NAFTA in the Us, Mexico and Canada: Ken Research

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a treaty signed by Canada, Mexico and the United States creating a mutual trade alliance in North America.  The treaty was signed in 1992 and was effective from January 1st 1994. NAFTA was originally created to heighten financially viable integration in the USA, Mexico and Canada and its vision was to increased economic prosperity in these countries. The main concept of NAFTA was to make it easy for companies in these countries to accomplish domestic businesses.
According to the market research report, Publishing North America (NAFTA) Industry Guide 2017", NAFTA eliminated tariffs on all goods traded across the three nations. Any one of the countries can withdraw themselves from NAFTA, after giving a six months notice period. A research on NAFTA states that there was a mixed effect on the US labour force. Somehow few industries have shrunk and others have grown. In addition, few production industries were moved to Mexico resulting in plant shutdowns and mass layoffs, regardless of trade. As stated by NAFTA supporters, there was neither huge unemployment nor a large economic gain. The most affected workers are those who depended heavily on tariff protections in place prior to NAFTA. The affected industries wage growth dropped by 17% compared to the wage growth in unaffected industries.
As per the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), NAFTA has given a major boost to Mexican farm exports to the US, which has tripled since NAFTA's introduction. In Mexico, Mexican manufacturing jobs were created in thousands, which positively impacted the Mexican productivity and consumer prices. The Mexico’s economy started to grow rapidly from the year 1993, but poverty sill remains same as it was in the year 1993 with increase in unemployment. NAFTA deepened Mexico's dependency on food imports rather than fulfilling its promise of providing cheaper food to Mexicans.
Canada witnessed strong growth in cross-border investment as per CFR. The USA and Mexican investments in Canada have tripled and specifically Canadian agriculture was boosted. The employment in Canadian manufacturing industries was steady. Also, the productivity gap between the Canadian and US economies remains liberal.
Commercial samples should not exceed US $1 or equivalent Canadian or Mexican currency and samples can be imported duty free if they are marked torn or perforated or unsuitable for sales. The importing country has the right to deny NAFTA if NAFTA regulations are not followed and if the goods are not manufactured in one of the NAFTA countries. All goods purchased in Canada, Mexico and the united States are subject to customs duties and taxes. The amount of customs duties charged is based on the individual country and their corresponding tariff system.
The director of emerging markets investment strategy at UBS Wealth Management reported that Mexico is standing at a crossroad. Even if Mexico achieves growth of above 2%, it still has a long way to go before it can achieve the annual growth rates of 5%. The Bank of Mexico is confident that it would reach the target by the end of next year. To achieve this target Mexico needs to accelerate implementation of structural reforms and tackle the country’s economy. The Mexican government also needs to deal with issues such as widespread corruption, crime and a low-quality education system, in order to boost the sluggish productivity.
Each NAFTA country is seeking more open trade relationships with non-NAFTA countries searching for new markets for agricultural and non-agricultural products. NAFTA countries exhibit a tremendous development towards removing trade barriers within the countries worldwide. The world’s population is expected to grow from 6.9 billion to 8.3 billion over the next two decades. Therefore, all the nations worldwide anticipate increasing their productions in agriculture or non-agriculture products as per the needs of the growing population.
All the attempts for cross country trading, the NAFTA regions will show a huge growth and growing markets in the years to come. Out of the NAFTA countries, US is expected to have an increasing population in the next two decades compared to Mexico and Canada. As per the researchers,  demographic dividend, diminished pressure on social service budget, facilitate higher saving rates, larger investments in education, focus on capital-intensive economic activities and many more factors that can lead to higher rate of economic growth. NAFTA simplified numerous complications by eliminating tariffs, quotas, import licensing requirements, and other policies. Better decision making and country’s hopes are a great foundation for NAFTA prosperity.

Netherlands Reinsurance Market Turnabout After Global Financial Crisis- Ken Research

In reinsurance, the reinsurer takes over certain risks (such as the mortality risk) from an insurer. Reinsurance is essentially different from life insurance, non-life insurance and funeral expenses and benefits in-kind insurance because reinsurance is affected between professional parties. The difference lies in the fact that the reinsurer does not have any straight contractual affiliation with the original policyholder (consumer) but solely with an insurer or pension fund. Because of this difference and in connection with the licensing requirement ensuing from the legislation, reinsurers are included separately in the register.



In terms of written premium, the Netherlands Insurance industry is one of the global leaders of the world. The nation’s reinsurance industry experienced a negative growth due to the adverse effect of the global financial crisis and subsequent European debt crisis from 2008 to 2012. Overall, the premium ceded to reinsurance recorded a low compounded annual growth rate. According to the research report "Reinsurance in the Netherlands, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2020", life, personal accidents and health insurance segments held retentions above 90% indication an underutilisation of reinsurance as a risk management tool. Moreover, the non life insurance, which previously displayed a reliance on reinsurers for sharing risk, recorded a decline in the percentage of premium ceded by about three percentage points in 2012. This was due to intense competition in the segment, which forced non-life insurers to reduce premiums.
A period of severe summer storms in the Netherlands, which brought high winds, torrential rain and large hail to the region, is expected to result in more than EUR500m of insurance industry losses, with reinsurance capital expected to take a major share. Insurance losses from damage to residential property, automobiles is estimated at EUR325m, 40% of which is related to homes, while EUR175m is largely from agricultural businesses, but the commercial toll is expected to rise further. This is certainly not a major loss for the industry, in the overall scheme of things, but when added to severe weather in France, Germany and other European areas, the losses will be taking their toll on some reinsurers with a focus on Europe. With reinsurance rates extremely low in Europe for property catastrophe cover, ILS participation is likely to be low, as often the returns do not meet their targets.
Growth in the Dutch reinsurance segment was variable, and affected by demand trends in the insurance industry. The Netherland’s reinsurance segment contains both domestic and foreign reinsurers. The segment is not highly competitive such as the non-life and life segment. Solvency II law, implemented on January 1, 2016, was a basic reform of capital adequacy requirements and risk management. It has created a level playing field across European insurers, improved protection offered to policyholders and enhanced transparency and quality of public disclosure. Reinsurance providers in the Netherlands initially covered only commercial and industrial risks. Insurers such as Nationale-Nederlanden, the Dutch unit of NN Group NV, and Aegon have recently begun analyzing risk models, and have put forward proposals to cover flood-affected properties. Effective from April 1, 2015, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions. Authority (EIOPA) issued guidelines on the application of outward reinsurance arrangements to the non-life catastrophe risks.
Most of the reinsurance companies operate from Switzerland, Germany,Bermuda and regional financial hubs from London,Singapore, Dubai,Malaysia,Russia.  ING Re (Netherlands) NV, ABN AMRO Captive NV, Achmea Reinsurance Company NV, Unive Her NV, Rabo Herverzekeringsmaatschappij NV, Global Re NV, Nationale-Nederlanden and Metro Reinsurance NV are leading reinsurance providers.
