India ATM Managed Services Market is Driven by Increasing Penetration of White Label ATMs in Rural Areas Coupled with Growth in Branchless Banking: Ken Research

Increasing number of outdated ATMs has led to surge in demand for latest and upgraded technology driven ATMs which led to expansion of India ATM Managed Services Market. 

Analysts at Ken Research in their latest publication, “India ATM Market Outlook to 2023 – By ATM Supply, Managed Services (ATM Repair, Maintenance and Other Services, Transaction Processing, Cash Reconciliation Statement, Content and Electronic Journal Management) & Cash Management (ATM Replenishment, CIT, CPD)” believe that promoting better regulations, setting up biometric ATMs in rural areas and focusing towards hybrid business models will aid the India ATM Managed Services Market.

India ATM Managed Services market is expected to register positive CAGR of around 6.7% during the period FY’2018-FY’2023 in terms of revenue. ATM repair and maintenance along with cash management services will expect to have positive impact on overall revenue generation for the India ATM Managed Services market.

Currently ATMs are majorly concentrated in cities and urban areas, whereas very low penetration was observed in rural areas of the country. As a result of which, it is skewed toward the most developed states: Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Maharashtra have high ATM penetration, while large but less developed states like Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are well below the national average in terms of ATM penetration. The Government of India through its various schemes has helped to bridge these gaps and provide broader access to local residents. Efforts towards increasing ATM penetration and to increase the efficiency of existing ATM machines have made India one of the largest markets for ATM deployment in Asia. White Label ATM companies are largely focusing on rural areas as demand for cash is increasing in that area due to Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) in which people are encouraged to open bank account at zero balance which driven the demand for debit card transactions in rural areas majorly. These entities are increasing the existence of ATM services in rural areas.

As of May 31^st, 2017 new RBI circular has mandated banks to upgrade the OS and security feature of non-compliant ATMs. It is reported that majority of the ATMs in India were running on outdated operating systems, thus making them vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Increasing security threats to the cash in ATMs, and the need to improve efficiency in cash handling through improved hardware, has contributed to the replacement demand for ATMs in India. Many cash dispensers are now being replaced with cash recyclers to improve the efficiency in cash replenishment in India.

Steel Substitutes To Bolster Asia Deformed Steel Bar Industry : Ken Research

According to the study “Asia Deformed Steel Bar Industry Situation and Prospects Research report”, steel rebar or deformed steel bar or a mesh of steel wires are used in concrete constructions and concrete masonry to provide support to concrete structures. Steel rebars used in construction offers high tensile strength and thermal co-efficient value similar to concrete thermal co-efficient value. It is also the cheapest option that is used for concrete reinforcement structures and buildings. It was observed that there is a decrease in the usage of iron due to increasing mining expenditure and the depletion of iron ores reserves. Therefore, the already available steel scrap is recycled and used in the production of steel. The decreasing average life of automobiles and demolition of older constructions is generating huge quantities of steel scrap.

Steel rod used for reinforcing concrete which possesses surface irregularities, as transverse ridges, to improve the bond is termed as deformed steel bar. They are also know as reinforcing bars or rebar which are used to bind two materials strongly, limits cracks in concrete, avoid slippage and have higher tensile strength than mild steel rebar. Steel Rebar or deformed steel bar is widely used in the construction industry for concrete reinforcement. It acts as a tensioning device and assists to hold the concrete in a compressed state to carry the tensile load. Steel rebar possess several drawbacks during steel manufacturing that involves generation of various types of wastes that are discharged in water causing water pollution, releases carbon dioxide causing greenhouse effect, responsible for emission of hazardous gases causing air pollution, and corrosion tendency of steel leads to deterioration of constructions.  Evolution in Asian construction sector has led to a huge demand for steel rebar even if the drawbacks are posing threat.

Various new grades that are introduced in deformed steel bars are Fe-500, Fe-550, and Fe-500D. These are deformed steel bars are corrosion resistant, epoxy coated, and earthquake resistant compared to the conventional rebars. The leading players in deformed steel bars market in Asia are Power Steel Products, Arab Building Materials, Hyundai Steel, Razaque Steels, SMC and Agha Steel Industries. Geographically, deformed steel bars market in Asia is spread across China, Japan, India, Korea, Saudi Arabia and other regions. Asia’s continuing infrastructure development in housing, commercial, and industrial sectors is bolstering growth in the steel rebars market. Deformed steel bars in Asia are used in infrastructure, manufacturing, and oil & gas industry. It was observed that the infrastructure sector will dominate the deformed steel bar market in Asia due to rapid development and industrialization in China and India.

Few substitutes for steel rebar are basalt rebar, fiber reinforced polymer which are eco- friendly and possess high tensile strength. These substitutes may anticipate some share from the steel rebar market due to the environmental and corrosive effects of steel. Basalt rebar is the best product apart from steel rebar and also has thermal co-efficient almost equal to that of concrete. Deformed steel bar industry will experiencing continuous innovations and advancements due to the rapid technological advancements and enormous applications of steel rebar.

Understanding the Switzerland Power Market: Ken Research

Switzerland in 1999 ratified the new Swiss Electricity Market Law. The primary aim of this law was to ensure that the power/electricity generation sector moves from a regulated to a deregulated environment. Switzerland is one of the few countries that does not produce much of fossil fuels and relies heavily on renewable forms of energy especially nuclear power and hydro projects. Although presently, Switzerland is a net importer of power to meet its internal demands however, the electricity generation has picked up pace in the recent years recently which has been forecasted grow in the future at a very fast pace.

According to the study, ‘Switzerland Power Market Outlook to 2030, Update 2018 - Market Trends, Regulations, and Competitive Landscape’, some of the companies that are currently operating in this segment includes Axpo Holding AG, BKW AG Alpiq Holding AG. The competition in the power generation sector within companies is very stiff. Only a few of the companies hold majority of the market share because of their ability to invest huge amount of money and also possess the technological expertise to produce electricity at the lowest cost. They also have the potential to make profits while simultaneously incurring huge costs. All these factors make the entry of new players practically impossible. This has resulted in the market to be highly consolidated. The power market has other players but they have significant influence over the market.

Oil is the largest contributor in terms of sources of electricity generation which is followed by nuclear sources, hydroelectric power plants, and natural gas plants.

The regulatory landscape of the energy production in Switzerland consists of Swiss Federal Office of Energy is the centre concerned with issues of energy supply and energy use at the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications. This body creates and implements the entire action plan concerning energy production and is also responsible for increasing the overall share of renewable sources of energy which would ultimately lead to reduction in the CO2 emissions. Most of the energy generated is used as a fuel in order to ensure vehicular movement which would be followed by electricity.

There are 2 variations of prices of electricity that prevail in the Swiss energy market. These include the wholesale and the retail prices. The wholesale electricity is traded over the counter and therefore likely to be below the market prices. A very small proportion of the total electricity consumption goes in the form of wholesale electricity generation. Retail prices are market prices. The recent trend that has been witnessed in the Retail Prices segment is an increase in the prices. This trend is expected to continue for the next couple of years which varies upon the location of the supply station from where the electricity is being supplied.

The overall Swiss power market is expected to grow in the coming years. The forms of energy shall majorly shift to either nuclear or hydroelectric projects due to the growing emergence of renewable forms of energy. The competition is very stiff with very few companies holding majority of the market share which gives the benefit of economies of scale. The new entrants need to competitively price their services in order to ensure that they are able to compete with existing giants.

Shifting Landscape Of Brazilian Power Industry Market Outlook: Ken Research

Brazil provides a good system for being a carbon neutral energy system. The growth in the Brazilian power market is expected to be immense during the forecast period. This growth shall be tapped by many companies which might lead to huge competition in the field of power generation in Brazil. According to the study, ‘Brazil Power Market Outlook To 2030, Update 2018 - Market Trends, Regulations  And Competitive Landscape’, some of the major companies that are currently operating in the Brazilian power generation industry include CentraisEletricasBrasileiras S.A., EngieBrasilEnergia SA, PetroleoBrasileiro SA, CompanhiaEnergetica de Minas Gerais SA, CompanhiaParanaense de Energia SA. The companies currently hold majority of the market share under their hood which makes the market slightly consolidated. Even though hydro is the most popular source, studies suggest that the cost of producing electricity in Brazil via hydro projects is expensive as compared to generation via wind which makes wind a profitable option for companies to explore.

The electric power generation in Brazil is regulated by the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency which is an independent body that was setup in 1992 to work as a regulatory authority over matters concerning power generation. Renewable sources of energy are abundantly present in the country which makes it only one of the few countries to have majority of its power generation from renewable sources of energy. Majority of the electricity generation in Brazil takes place from the Hydrological sources due to abundance of rivers. Not only this, but Brazil has abundance of bio energy sources of power creation. Brazil is recently also gaining popularity with the wind and solar modes of energy creation. Brazil as a country has plenty of renewable sources of energy with the potential to explore many more. Brazil is only one of the few countries that currently has majority of its energy dependence on renewable forms which would prove to be one of the biggest asset in the coming years which are characterized by falling quantity of fossil fuels.

The high percentage of electricity generation by renewable sources of energy implies a significantly lower share of power generation via coal or oil resources thereby showcasing a slower growth in these sectors. On the other hand, Gas as a source of energy generation is picking up space. Gas although has a small share, but it is rapidly picking up pace. The growth rate of gas as a source of energy generation is doubling itself year on year making it one of the fastest growing energy sources.

In Brazil, renewable forms have energy have the majority share in production. Within the renewable sources, the market is currently led by hydro projects however, looking at the growth rate of Gas as a source of energy production; it could change the market dynamics completely. The competition in this industry is characterized by huge capital investments and stiff competition with only a few companies holding a significant share of the market which makes the entry of new players very difficult. The companies that look forward to entry into the Brazilian power industry need to provide uninterrupted electricity using cheapest source in order to gain some significance in the overall industry.
