Elements of the IDI scenario in relation to the research hypotheses

Elements of the interview scenario and their relation to the research hypothesesResearch hypothesis no.
General questions about the growth of the leasing market:H1–H4
What is the growth potential of the leasing market in Poland? Are we facing market saturation?
Is there still room for growth?
If so, when might this occur?
If not—what could be the catalyst for further growth?
General questions about leased assets:H1–H4
Currently, leasing is mainly used to finance purchases of movable property, including, in particular, means of transportation, machinery, etc. Only a small part of financing concerns real property.
Will this structure persist in the future? Can we expect new trends to emerge in this area?
Can we expect real property leasing to grow in importance in the coming years?
Questions about specific trends:
What is your opinion on each of these trends? Is it really taking place, and if so, how is it affecting the leasing sector?
In your opinion, are there any trends not mentioned here that are relevant to the leasing industry?
Questions asked after a specific trend was indicated:
The conducted analysis has led us to identify trends currently affecting the leasing sector, including:
External shocks, including COVID-19, and more recently, the war in Ukraine, and, consequently, inter alia, the pursuit of security and shortening of supply chains;H1
Striving to transition into the circular and collaborative consumption model (subscription of any goods, i.e., anything as a service [XaaS]);H2
digitalization, automation, and robotization and their impact on:H3
leased assets (including the growing demand for less numerous but more advanced and expensive machinery and equipment),
the manner of service performance (to be discussed in more detail in the last section);
Changes in customer service methods:
integration of web-based customer service modules (interfaces) for various services offered in a financial group–banks + leasing companies (management of a company account, leasing products, credits, etc.), use of telematics (offers better tailored to customer needs, cost reduction and improving the quality of customer service),
development of innovations in the financial sector (fintech), including on-line leasing (e.g., on-line executing lease contracts).
