POS data updates in 2023 – We called it!

Last year, we observed that the POS alternative data market lacks products with a consolidated market view across diverse channels and product types. We predicted that a wave of mergers would arise to offer solution to this structural shortcoming. A year later, we can confidently state our prediction on increased merger activity was accurate. That said, the market today remains far from mature. In this report, we summarise the activity we’ve observed in the POS data landscape across 2023.

App data compliance by the numbers

Mobile device app data is consistently popular commercially. However, in recent years, it has also been the subject of legal and regulatory actions, as well as negative media attention. For buyers, certain compliance issues are always worth considering, including data collection practices, privacy, and de-identification. While it’s always important to understand rules and best practices, knowing what’s happening on the ground can provide worthwhile insight and, in some cases, foresight. So, in this report, we share statistics and figures we’ve collected from the Neudata platform to shed light on app data compliance issues from a different angle.

5G: Hype vs reality in 2023

In 2019, Forbes said the race to deploy 5G reflected a geopolitical rivalry that would determine political and economic fortunes for decades. Amid rising tensions between the US and China, Donald Trump declared “the race to 5G is a race that America must win”. Fast-forwarding to today, we outline the real 5G timeline, reasons for the slow rollout and alternative datasets that investors can use to monitor the space.

Evaluating the impact of ETFs on emerging markets

The growth of ETF investments has coincided with the growing sensitivity of emerging market capital flows to global financial shocks. To date, the majority of studies on the subject have focused on the importance of ETFs relative to competitive instruments (e.g. mutual funds). However, only a few have examined the correlation between emerging market ETF flows and global financial shocks. We review a study that examines the role of ETFs in transmitting global financial conditions to emerging market economies.

Renewables – datasets and trends

Conflict in Ukraine, increased attention around the climate crisis, and China’s recent lead in EV production have fuelled concerns around global energy security and the green transition. In the US, the Biden administration has demonstrated its commitment through the Inflation Reduction Act, allocating $369bn to energy security and climate change. As the energy transition accelerates, we summarise the alternative data marketplace across renewables.

Monitoring China’s EV sector through battery production data

China’s automobile exports surpassed Japan's for the first time in 1H23, making it the largest car exporter in the period. Electric vehicles, accounting for around a third, were the main driver of growth. Considering China produces 60% of the world’s motive batteries used to power EVs and interest we receive at Neudata on this topic, this report highlights datasets to help monitor China’s lithium-ion battery supply chain.
