Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: With the evolution of the International Remittance market and the changing demands of customers, there has been an evolution in the types of market players. Earlier, banks were the only remittance service providers in the market. However, with emerging technological advancements in terms of internet and mobile usage, there has been a huge increase in the number of market players. Many of these players operate on varied technological platforms such as mobile, online service, prepaid card services, POS machines, and PDA devices. The different types of remittance service providers in the market are MTOs, private banks, and Public sector banks. Some of the big players in this market are Western Union, Euronet, and Money Gram, and these players deploy agents across different countries to facilitate remittance services. This is far more effective in reaching out to more people as compared to the network of conventional banks.
According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the increasing international migration. With the increase in the employment opportunities in countries with high economic growth, the workforce in developing countries are migrating to these countries in search of work and to earn higher incomes, to support their households. This migrating workforce is usually engaged in manufacturing or construction businesses.
