EMV POS Terminals Market Overview

Driver

Increasing focus on self-service models in the retail industry is notably driving market growth. The growth of the self-service market will drive the adoption of EMV POS terminals. The self-service market includes retail checkout systems and kiosks. A self-service kiosk is an interactive kiosk that consists of specialized software and hardware computer terminals. Currently, the EMV point of sale (POS) terminals market is witnessing the installation of bill payment kiosks to meet the growing demand for reduced waiting times and queues in places such as offices and retail stores. The adoption of self-checkout systems, including EMV POS terminals, is rising, especially in small retail stores, to reduce the volume of cash transactions and increase the adoption of cashless payments.

However, this indicates increased investments in self-checkout systems by large US retailers. Self-checkout systems reduce the level of frustration caused by long wait times, besides being very convenient. The development of self-checkout systems and their wider adoption will drive the growth of the EMV POS terminals market during the forecast period.

Trends

The emergence of biometric EMV POS terminals is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. The introduction of biometric EMV POS systems will help in more secure transactions. Another benefit of using biometric EMV POS systems is the reduction in the time taken to complete transactions. Debit or credit card transactions require significant time for completion. Biometric EMV POS terminals help in the faster and more efficient processing of transactions. With the deployment of biometric EMV POS terminals in restaurants, the checkout time can be reduced significantly. Many small-sized retailers in developing countries, such as China and India, are also adopting biometric EMV POS terminals for secure and convenient payments.

Furthermore, there is a high demand for wireless and mobile POS (mPOS) terminals among SMEs which also results in EMV point of sale (POS) terminals market expansion. Therefore, the EMV point of sale (POS) terminals market is expected to be influenced significantly by the emergence of biometric EMV POS terminals during the forecast period.

Restrain

The low transaction speed of EMV POS terminals is a significant challenge hindering market growth. It generally takes longer to accept payments using EMV POS compared with other POS terminals. The steps in the payment or transaction process are higher compared with other POS terminals, resulting in a longer check-out time. The duration is longer in cases where mPOS terminals do not have sufficient network coverage. However, this challenge is not a major concern for micro-enterprises, where the transaction volume is low. For medium and large enterprises, especially during peak business hours, the low transaction speed of EMV POS terminals has a high impact.

Moreover, in certain cases, it may discourage consumers from making a purchase in stores where the waiting time in queues is long due to low transaction speed, thus resulting in the loss of sales which may restrict Europay, MasterCard and Visa (EMV) POS terminals market growth. Thus, the low transaction speed of EMV POS terminals will negatively impact the market during the forecast period.

EMV POS Terminals Market Segmentation By End-user Segment

The market share growth by the retail segment will be significant during the forecast period. The retail sector includes hypermarkets, supermarkets, drug stores, gas stations, speciality stores, and mass merchandise stores. The sector has undergone a significant transformation in the past years because of factors such as foreign investments, increasing competition, and growing global economies. This has resulted in the increased adoption of secure payment technologies, such as EMV standards, for POS terminals.

The retail segment was the largest and was valued at USD 4.70 billion in 2018. The increase in organized retailing globally and the pressure to sustain competition and retain Europay, MasterCard and Visa (EMV) POS terminals market share have led to the integration of advanced EMV POS terminals to ensure safe and secure payments for transactions. These systems collect customer data and provide the required differentiation expected by retailers to serve their customers better. The technology integrated into an EMV POS terminal network is common across multiple devices. The EMV POS terminals also provide analytical and management data in the form of inventory management, competitive pricing, in-store promotions, reduced overhead and operating costs across-selling and up-selling and strong networking among stores worldwide. Thus, high demand for EMV POS terminals will drive the segment and market during the forecast period.

EMV POS Terminals Market Segmentation By Product Segment   

Conventional EMV POS terminals include fixed EMV POS terminals and handheld EMV POS terminals. Fixed EMV POS terminals The shipments of fixed EMV POS terminals are expected to decrease during the forecast period. The large EMV point of sale terminals market share of fixed EMV POS terminals in 2023 is mainly attributed to their high adoption in the retail sector. With the developments in mPOS terminals, which enable them to offer the same functions as fixed EMV POS terminals, the EMV point of sale terminals market will witness a shift in end-user preference for mPOS terminals. Handheld EMV POS terminals The rate of failure to complete transactions is higher with mPOS terminals than with fixed EMV POS terminals due to the lack of connectivity and low network speeds. mPOS terminals are not very popular in large retail outlets, where the volume of transactions is high. With advances in technology and better access to faster network speeds (4G or long-term evolution (LTE)), mPOS terminals have been gaining popularity. Technological advances help mPOS terminals provide the same analytical and management data as fixed EMV POS terminals. Retail companies are increasingly adopting multiple mPOS terminals in most outlets. The demand for mPOS terminals is expected to be higher than fixed EMV POS terminals during the forecast period.
