Industry Outlook

The FY 2020 has been one of the most eventful and challenging years that the financial services industry has experienced. Even more, so is the case with microfinance with its spread of customers residing in areas most vulnerable to macro environment challenges with natural and political unrests alike. The Outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic across the globe and in India has contributed to a significant decline and volatility in the global and Indian Financial markets and a slowdown in economic activities. Since the duration and magnitude of COVID 19 are still uncertain, it will affect the plans of this industry for FY 2021.

In FY 2020, the microfinance industry grew by 29% year on year from Rs. 1,79,314 Crore to Rs. 2,31,788 Crore serving 10.54 Crore micro-loan accounts through a network of 170 financial institutions, spanning Banks, Small Finance Banks, NBFCs, NBFC-MFIs, etc. Banks contribute 40% of the total Microfinance portfolio, closely followed by NBFC-MFIs with a contribution of 32% and SFBs with a contribution of 17%. In FY 2020, the Eastern and North-Eastern parts of the country contributed to the largest portion of the overall microfinance portfolio of the country at 40% market share, followed by Southern India at 27%.

With technology penetrating the industry, the microfinance industries are expanding their services in innovative ways. The microfinance industry has huge potential in India. At the pan India level, micro-credit reached not more than 20% of total deserving households through a variety of channels including Banks, small finance banks, and microfinance institutes.

The threat of industry includes a high level of competition. As Small finance banks mainly focusing on this segment, and nowadays commercial banks are also showing active interest in the microcredit industry, the competition has become very intense. Moreover, there are lots of players present in the microfinance landscape and mature models of micro lending, with a significant portion of its population in the low-income band, India represents a huge opportunity for the microfinance sector.

According to ICRA, Micro Finance Industry might face asset quality pressure in the near term due to recent lockdowns in 2021. However majority of Micro Finance Institutions will be able to withstand any stress due to their improving collection efficiency and better liquidity management.
