Russia Alternative Data Market Trends: 

Integration of Geospatial and Mobility Data

A key trend shaping Russia alternative data market growth is the increased integration of geospatial and mobility data into investment and commercial decision-making. With the rapid development of Russia’s urban infrastructure and the rise of location-based services, businesses are leveraging satellite imagery, traffic patterns, and mobile device location data to monitor consumer movement and assess regional economic activity. This trend is particularly evident in sectors such as retail, logistics, and real estate, where understanding spatial behavior directly influences asset valuation and strategic planning. Additionally, as smart city initiatives continue to gain traction across major Russian cities, there is a growing pool of open geolocation data. Companies increasingly rely on this data to improve forecasting accuracy and achieve a competitive edge in localized market analysis. For instance, in November 2024, Goldman Sachs started leveraging alternative data sources such as satellite imagery and credit card transaction data to enhance its retail trend forecasting. By examining these non-traditional datasets, the firm aims to gain deeper insights into consumer behavior and spending patterns, enabling clients to make more precise and well-informed investment decisions in the retail sector.

Rising Adoption in Risk and Credit Scoring Models

In the financial services and lending sectors, alternative data is becoming a critical component of credit risk assessment models in Russia. Traditional credit histories are often limited or unavailable, especially for underbanked individuals and small businesses. Financial institutions are now adopting data such as utility payments, social behavior, mobile phone usage, and e-commerce activity to supplement conventional scoring. For instance, starting July 1, 2025, foreigners in Russia who have not registered their biometric data will experience mobile service disconnection. This initiative aims to prevent SIM card fraud and unverified usage. The heightened collection of personal and behavioral data for mobile monitoring parallels how financial institutions leverage alternative data, such as mobile phone activity, for risk assessment and fraud prevention. This approach enhances financial inclusion while reducing lending risks. Moreover, insurtech and fintech platforms are employing machine learning models that process alternative inputs for dynamic risk profiling. The demand for faster, more inclusive, and data-driven credit decisions is accelerating this adoption. As fintech innovations expand, particularly in consumer finance and SME lending, this trend will continue to bolster Russia alternative data market growth.
