US Corporate Training Industry Research Report: Ken Research

How Is the Corporate Training Industry Positioned In the USA?
Traditionally the process of employee training was taken up by an internal team within the organization. Low college enrolment among youth, increasing use of technology leading to growing supply-demand skill gap and increasing attrition rate has led to a boost in training outsourcing. Also, the cost of inefficient training can be as high as USD 13.5 million per 10,000 employees per annum which further leads to training standardization.
 The Corporate Training Industry in USA is positioned to be at a late growth stage with demand increasing with a CAGR ~% during the period 2014-2019. The training methodology has seen rapid digitization of content and migration towards online training. The influence of flurry of various large private and public corporate training companies as well as thousands of small start-ups training companies has been an important stimulant for the market. Rising demand for training on a spectrum of courses has put the market on an exemplary growth track The need of corporate training is underscored by Freshers, Engineers, Sales, and Marketing Professionals, Domain Experts, Software & IT Professionals for Digital Marketing, Data Science and Analytics, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Cloud, AI, and Blockchain & Big Data Programs. The companies are cutting budgets on soft skills and vocational training due to the increasing need for technical training.
Microlearning programs that are bite-sized courses that can be consumed in a short period of time are increasingly used to save time and to increase employees' concentration during training. Experimental training including simulations, sensitivity training, case studies, and gaming, increases focus and gives better results which encourage other enterprises to undergo training. There is a shift from generic to strategic training with the increasing need for training customization.
How Is the Demand Segmented?
By Organizational Size: Average Training The budget of large companies is much higher than midsize and small companies. But the training budget per employee is almost the same for large and small enterprises. Since more than 50% of the companies are small in the USA the demand is collectively dominated by small companies followed by large and mid-size companies.
By Designation: Demand is dominated by non-managerial training followed by managerial and integrated. Lack of required skills among fresh graduates and increasing use of technology has driven the demand for non-managerial training. Increasing demand for integrated training due to growing importance to regulatory norms, compliance, awareness, and company culture.  The growing use of technology has led to a need for skill enhancement among management.
By Delivery Mode: Classroom training is still the most preferred mode while e-learning is gradually taking on because of low priced modules and flexibility in learning. In order to increase learning efficiency, blended training is increasingly used as it enhances engagement and increases accessibility. Virtual training becomes convenient for companies with hub and spoke office structure.
By Deployment: On-site training is increasingly preferred over off-site training with growing managed training contracts. Most corporate training companies in the US do not have classrooms to save lease costs. For instance, Simplilearn closed more than 100 classrooms to cut cost.
By Course Type: Increasing use of technology, lack of corporate knowledge among fresher and frequent change in business methodology driving the growth in technical training. Leadership training which is usually required post promotions and change in business strategy is gaining traction due to increasing business decentralization. Managerial training is gaining momentum to train the efficient management of the growing millennial workforce. Sales training is usually performed in-house due to the subjective nature of the sales pitch.

UAE Online Insurance Industry Outlook to 2024: Ken Research

The publication titled ‘UAE Online Insurance Industry Outlook to 2024 – Driven by Customer Uptake, Ease for New and Renewal Policy Convenience with Insurance Aggregators’ undertakes a comprehensive analysis of the insurance industry in UAE, product-wise buying patterns of insurance among the population, traditional distribution channels including brokers, banks, agents, direct channels, etc and further explore the under-penetrated potential of aggregator led online insurance distribution. Following the path of European economies with high penetration of online insurance (>60%), research answers the question if aggregators are here to stay in UAE. Analysts have also depicted the general business model, end to end online buying process, Typical Organizational Structure, and Technology stack integrated by such firms in the platforms. With an extensive focus on Competitive benchmarking among major Aggregators including Yallacompare, Souqalmal, Bankonus, and PolicyBazaar UAE, the research concludes with some key recommendations for firms to focus on profitability, expanding the model to the peer GCC countries, increased emphasis on other banking products of loans, credit cards, etc to ensure sustainable growth in the coming years.
Where does the Insurance Industry stand today?
GWP collection stood at $12Bn, majorly led by growth in non-life insurance products of Health and Motor. Insurance of Persons and Fund Accumulation contributed 28% to total GWP collection. While UAE is ahead among the peer GCC countries in terms of insurance penetration of 2.9%, it still lags behind the average insurance penetration of emerging countries which stands at 3.2% and Global average of 6.1%. Mandatory insurance requirements of Motor across UAE coupled with Health Insurance in Abu Dhabi and Dubai has contributed to raising awareness among people to protect their risks.
Traditional Distribution Channels & Viability of Aggregator led Online Model
Challenging the established dominance of Brokers, Banks and Agents are not easy for Aggregators as incumbents generate ~99% of the total premium collection in 2018, as per the data released by Insurance Authority of UAE. However, aggregators are stepping up due to the changing customer preferences towards online, price comparison led to buying behavior.  Relying on commission-driven income and a high one-time cost of technology building for offering multiple banking products, aggregator’s model is highly scalable to peer GCC countries, thereby ensuring sustainable growth by becoming a one-stop solution provider.
Are aggregators here to stay?
Primarily, targeting kin to commodity ‘Motor Insurance’ products, aggregators have built-in AI-driven algorithms and platforms capable of generating quotes within a minute and delivering policies in the e-mail within 60 minutes. This has allowed customers to get away with the tedious process of submitting documents offline and foster confidence owing to a lack of information asymmetry. Ken Research believes online insurance could cannibalize the share of brokers and banks and contribute >10% of total GWP collection by 2024.

Increased Investment in Transport Infrastructure and Rising Demand from End Users has Influenced Growth in Logistics Industry: Ken Research

Impact of GST: GST has facilitated the reduction in the transit and turnaround times of trucks by removing the multiple state taxes which were applicable earlier. In the warehousing industry, GST has led to the consolidation of the numerous warehouse companies had all over India and move towards a hub-and-spoke model of distribution. Owing to this, consolidation of the warehouse, increase warehousing size and companies have started increasing focus on Value-added-services to claim Input Tax Credit
Rising Demand of Cold Storage: India is home to the largest installed capacity of cold storage in the world, most of them being traditional cold storage capable of storing only potatoes. However, with government support for investment in cold chain infrastructure, the demand for cold storages from other end-user industries like meat and seafood, pharma, and frozen food and QSR is expected to grow in the future, as well as from fresh food which was previously not stored in cold storage.
india-logistics-industry-growth
Challenges in Logistics Industry: The logistics industry in India faces many challenges like unorganized and fragmented markets, poor infrastructure, lack of skilled labor, driver shortages, and overcapacity in the trucking industry, as well as land acquisition problems in the warehousing industry. ~25% of the national highways are congested due to low lane capacity, with the majority of national highways having two lanes or less.
Impact of COVID-19 on Trucking Industry: COVID-19 has severely impacted the trucking industry adversely. ~60% Transporters are refusing loads with driver shortage & fear of safety due to incidents of police harassment on highway checkpoints. The closure of restaurants and dhabas means the stranded truckers have nothing to eat.  SFOs that live hand to mouth worst-hit ~16% SFOs have not received any load for >10 days. With thousands of vehicles stranded & drivers not expected to resume work until the situation improves, the transport sector is undergoing a paralysis. The initiatives launched to provide relief are very short-term measures that are only to provide immediate relief. The industry will need long- term plans to reach pre-lockdown operation levels. Production & demand for transport needs to pick up before the transport industry is back on its feet. The worst-case the scenario would be if the lockdown or the Corona scare is extended further for a few more months.
The report titled “India Logistics Market Outlook to FY24 – Driven by Government Infrastructure Push, New Age Logistics Startups, and Technology Innovation” provide a comprehensive analysis on the status of the logistics sector in India. The report covers various aspects including the current logistics scenario in India, its components viz, freight transportation, warehousing, CEP, VAS, and cold chain industries, the issues and challenges, major growth drivers, investment in infrastructure, tech disruptions and innovations, and competition benchmarking. The report concludes with market projections for the future of the industry including forecasted industry size by revenue.

The impact of Covid-19 on the India Trucking Industry: Ken Research

COVID-19 Impact: Trucking Industry
The ongoing pandemic situation and the resultant lockdown to combat the spread has once again underscored the importance of, and the inefficiencies in, the trucking industry. The subsequent actions and inactions have led to transporters facing problems during the lockdown, and will have a major impact even when the lockdown is eventually lifted.
Overall Economic Impact on India
FY21 Growth Pegged to be the Slowest Since LPG Reforms in 1991
The pandemic has struck at a particularly unfortunate time when India's economy is slowing down. Growth in FY20 is estimated to be around 4.8%-5%, and according to the South Asia Economic Focus report by the World Bank, the economy is expected to grow 1.5%-2.8% in FY21. In fact, multiple international bodies have forecasted a slowdown in the growth of the Indian economy. During the lockdown period, a less than quarter of the Indian economy is operational. 53% of Indian businesses have indicated an impact of COVID-19 on business operations, according to a FICCI survey. Around 42% of the respondents said that it could take up to three months for normalcy to return, after the lifting of the lockdown. The major sectors impacted are transport, hospitality, and real estate.
Foreign Trade to Take a Massive Hit
Exports in the country are expected to suffer massively as demand dies in trading partners of India who are the hardest hit by the coronavirus, countries such as China, Spain, Italy, Japan, South Korea, the US, and Iran. Exports to these countries are now limited to only essential commodities with exports contracting by 34.6% in March 2020. China reopened its manufacturing units after temporarily shutting them down, providing a bit of relief to industries that are dependent on the country for imports of raw materials. India’s imports mainly electronics and chemicals, a key component in India’s massive pharmaceuticals industry. The slowdown in the imports of chemicals will massively hinder the domestic production of essential medication and generic drugs for import.
India Trucking Market
       Impact of COVID-19 on India Trucking Market
Lockdown’s Impact on Trucking Sector
Entire Transport Industry Halted with Small Fleet Operators Severely Affected
With only essential commodities being permitted to be transported, many trucking companies are without business. Even though the trucking industry has been striving its best to ensure the availability of essential goods, it has not come without its own challenges. Even those who are out there distributing commodities faced harassment by police and local authorities, which is again deterring transporters from accepting loads due to fear for the safety of their drivers. Many drivers have left their trucks stranded on highways and have gone home due to a lack of access to food due to the closure of dhabas along highways. An estimated 3.5 million trucks are stranded on India highways with the cost to the trucking industry estimated around ₹ 1,500-₹ 2,000 crores per day.
Small Fleet Operators Hardest Hit
Small fleet operators (transporters owning less than 5 trucks) own the majority of the trucks in the country and carry the large chunk of volume of goods. They usually subsist hand to mouth, and with no new loads, their very existence is threatened. The primary concern for them is they might be unable to pay their EMIs for their trucks, due to which their trucks might get repossessed, which was addressed by the government when it announced a deferment of EMI payments. But even with that safety net, the loss of business would set back the industry and can have attrition of drivers in a market already faced by driver shortage.
Short Term Impact on Business in Trucking Industry
Industry Anticipated to Face Pressure of Lockdown in H1 FY21; Slight Recovery in H2
The trucking industry is anticipated to feel the stress of the lockdown at least by the end of H1 FY21. The International Energy Agency (IEA) in its latest report said that India’s annual diesel consumption – a proxy for diesel demand – will drop by 6.1%. The diesel demand is affected by the death of demand in at least Q1 FY21, with trucks being utilized at only 10% of pre-lockdown levels. The ban on the manufacturing and logistics of non-essential items to control the spread and prioritize the production of essential food and medical items. The trucking industry is expected to contract by around 5% in FY21 due to lack of demand in Q1 FY21, and the slow pickup of major sectors post-lockdown on which the industry is majorly dependent on, industries such as automobiles and cement. The industry will also be impacted by the reduction in the foreign trade and slow return of normalcy of EXIM levels. With the lockdown being partially lifted on the 20th of April, and trucking and logistics services being permitted for all commodities since 30th March, the trucking industry is expected to incur a loss of around ₹ 40,000 crores, down from an estimated ₹ 80,000 crores had the lockdown not been lifted. Almost all trucking companies are expected to run into losses, with asset-heavy companies suffering the most, due to high fixed costs.
The situation is anticipated to get better with stimulus packages by the government, regaining of consumption demand at large due to positive consumer outlook, and restoring of manufacturing production to pre-lockdown levels. The industry is expected to pull off a moderate recovery in H2 FY21, with the regaining of growth starting in FY22.
Initiatives to Improve the Situation
Government Providing Relief and Safety Nets to Protect the Industry
The government has announced a slew of measures to help the lifeline of the country operational. The government has announced the deferment of the EMI payments for 3 months and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has extended the validity of permits and licenses till June 30th. The government is also expected to introduce a short-term insurance cover for truckers and helpers transporting essential goods. Industry associations have also been stepping up to feed stranded truckers and have launched helpline services.
These measures will provide immediate relief and provide transporters/truckers with a little more liquidity for operational expenditure during these tough times. With the industry being largely credit-driven with the payment period between 45-60 days, more measures are needed to ensure that truckers are able to receive timely payments on their loads. The industry requires long-term plans to reach pre-lockdown operation levels.
