Merchants anticipate solid consumer demand till year end, expect up to 200% growth: ZestMoney Survey

Bengaluru, October 22, 2022: According to a survey conducted by ZestMoney, India’s leading and fastest-growing digital EMI/checkout finance platform, merchants expect strong consumer demand, which began with the festive season, to continue until the end of the year. About 4 in every 5 respondents expect to see an uptick in sales of up to 200% in the coming months, while 76% of respondent merchants anticipate a better festive season than the last, owing to strongly positive consumer sentiment that is primarily driven by pent-up demand and deals and discounts.

ZestMoney conducted the survey by engaging with over 750 merchant partners to gauge the festive trends, their preparedness, and expectations for the festive and the following season.

Insights for the survey were gathered from business partners and store managers of major retail players including Reliance Digital, Croma, Sangeetha Mobiles, Big C, and other physical retail stores from cities and towns across Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Kerala, NCR, Punjab, and other states. Top online and D2C merchants also participated in the survey.

77% of the respondent merchants expect customers’ budgets to be higher than last year, and 49% believe that it will continue well until the New Year and January next.

Merchants added that smartphones and electronics will remain the largest selling category followed by fashion and accessories, home decor, and personal care products. About 45% of the respondents believe that the strong consumer sentiment will be driven by deals and discounts and 30% feel that the pent-up demand will be a major contributor.

Major travel e-commerce players also said they are seeing strong demand that will last till the end of 2022. Led by domestic travel plans, they are expecting a surge in transactions by up to 200%. The platforms revealed that Dubai, Maldives, Thailand & Bangkok, and other Southeast Asian countries emerged as the top international destinations, while Goa, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, and others are emerging popular domestic destinations. ZestMoney counts MMT, EMT, and Goibibo among its key OTA partners.

When inquired about their preparedness to meet the demand, 76% of merchants responded that they were fully prepared with the inventory to meet the festive demand. Furthermore, a third of the merchants responded that they were making more payment options, especially credit/EMI facilities, available as a part of their preparatory efforts. More than half of the respondents said they have plans of hiring a temporary workforce to handle the festive shopping demand.

Commenting on the survey, Lizzie Chapman, CEO & Co-founder of ZestMoney said, “We’ve had a great start to the festive season this year that is largely driven by buoyant consumer sentiment and strong demand for credit . We’ve seen an overall growth of 3X in transactions during the first leg of the festive season in September compared to last year. The new customer applications went up by 10X in the last few months in the run-up to the festive sales. Smartphones and electronics along with large home appliances remained the largest category, followed by fashion and accessories and home decor. Travel and personal care were the other popular categories. Our conversations with merchants indicate that similar trends are expected to continue for the next few months.”

“Our offline business has seen a 300% increase in both transactions and GMV this year as we doubled our POS (point of sale) presence over the last year. Merchants continue to evince a strong interest in enabling EMIs at checkout. To service the demand, we’ve doubled down on our efforts to enable digital EMIs at their points of sale,” Lizzie Chapman added.

Around 40% of the respondents say customers are using cash and UPI for payments. Another 40% of the merchants expect the purchases to be made on digital EMIs because of flexible tenures, low cost, and convenience. Credit and debit cards were among the other popular payment instruments chosen by merchants.

Boosting gender equality around the world: EIB expands SheInvest initiative and strengthens cooperation with Development Bank of Rwanda

Speaking at the Finance in Common Summit in Abidjan, Thomas Östros, Vice-President of the European Investment Bank (EIB), announced the extension of the Bank’s SheInvest initiative to mobilize another €2 billion of gender-responsive investment across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. In less than three years since the launch of SheInvest at the end of 2019, the EIB has mobilized a total of €2 billion of investment to boost gender equality and women’s economic empowerment in Africa, together with its partners on the continent and through Team Europe.

EIB Vice-President Thomas Östros said: “I am very proud of what the SheInvest initiative has achieved over the past three years. It has been a game changer in our EIB support for women-led enterprises across Africa. Combining this success with our track record of gender projects in Asia and Latin America as well — ranging from gender-responsive metro projects in India, to access to finance for women entrepreneurs in Brazil — it was a natural next step for us to not only raise the bar in monetary terms, but also geographically expand this initiative.”

SheInvest is complemented by a €2 million technical assistance program, the African Women Rising Initiative, which provides capacity building and mentoring to women entrepreneurs and supports intermediaries in designing financial and non-financial services tailored to their needs in sub-Saharan Africa.

Under this initiative, the EIB and the Development Bank of Rwanda (BRD) are today signing a new cooperation agreement that will enable BRD to increase access to finance for women and develop targeted advisory services for women entrepreneurs in micro to small and medium-sized enterprises in the country. The two banks already jointly financed a €30 million long-term facility at the end of 2021 to help companies impacted by COVID-19.

BRD Chief Executive Officer Kampeta Sayinzoga said: “At BRD, we have a saying — ‘the best gift you can give a woman, is the gift of choice.’ With the African Women Rising Initiative, we are excited to give women-led enterprises the gift of financial choice, by implementing policies and a strategy that provides them with access to finance, capacity building, and mentoring. It is, therefore, our pleasure to join hands with the European Investment Bank in this effort to design and offer financial services tailored to women’s needs in our region. Championing gender equality and equity in financial services is the direction we are taking for the goals we want to achieve for women’s empowerment.”

Vice-President Östros added: “I am delighted to strengthen our cooperation with the Development Bank of Rwanda to provide much-needed advisory and mentoring services to women entrepreneurs in the country. Investing with a gender lens is essential to build stronger societies and achieve greater development impact.”

Thanks to this new cooperation, the EIB and BRD will jointly define strategic objectives and key performance indicators to mainstream gender equality considerations in the lending and advisory activities of BRD, with the aim to further enhance women’s economic empowerment in Rwanda.

Rolled out in Uganda, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Rwanda, the African Women Rising Initiative helps local banks and microfinance institutions in designing, establishing, and actively promoting gender-intelligent financial and non-financial products and services better tailored to the needs of women entrepreneurs, with the desired outcome of increased women’s economic empowerment in the selected countries.

Investments under SheInvest are guided by the 2X Challenge criteria applied by the EIB to increase the impact of its financing for gender equality and women’s economic empowerment in developing countries. The 2X Challenge criteria have been endorsed by the G7 development finance institutions, among others. The EIB was the first multilateral development bank to join the 2X Challenge, as well as the Gender Finance Collaborative alongside our development finance partners.

As a result, the online poker market is expected to expand at an unfathomable rate over the next few years. Based on this pattern, we are concentrating on using our innovations and world-class technology to meet the demands of a lot more poker players. Added Rozani
