The EMV point of sale segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The presence of strong transaction security features in EMV cards is increasing segment growth. The segment has witnessed a significant boom in recent times. Emerging markets such as India have fixed structured regulations to promote EMV terminals. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has mandated all banks to replace their existing magnetic stripe-only cards with EMV chip cards, thereby increasing the demand for EMV cards. Moreover, 80% of developed economies have adopted EMV-based cards with Canada and the US leading the race. The adoption of non-EMV POS terminals is declining on the YOY basis due to stringent regulatory and security compliance for EMV card usage. The non-EMV segment is likely to be phased out slowly in developed economies during the forecast period as several governments such as the US have mandated the use of chip-based cards in their respective countries.
NFC-ready POS terminals are gaining immense popularity worldwide. The NFC-ready segment has witnessed a major boost as internet penetration across the globe has significantly grown in the recent decade. With the high adoption of smart devices, along with the availability of inexpensive mobile data plans, has increased the adoption of NFC-ready segments. NFC-ready mPOS systems are creating abuzz among merchants, and the shipment is witnessing an upward trend. The market displayed strong momentum in 2019 and witnessed a shipment of over 58 million. Brazil, Turkey, and China are witnessing high adoption of NFC-ready POS terminals. Non-NFC POS terminals are still prevalent in the market as these devices have been widely used in several application end-users such as malls and shopping complexes. These devices are observing growth in developing economies as the market in these regions has slow in adopting new NFC technology.
The retail segment is the fastest adopters of mPOS systems. With the increasing acceptance of digital payment solutions, several economies in the APAC region are undergoing rapid digital transformation. The demonetization initiative by the government of India has resulted in an immense adoption of credit and debit cards. Moreover, the use of most advanced POS and payment systems in supermarkets, malls, and large retail stores across the world is increasing the share of the retail segment. Restaurants are another major end-user of POS systems. Advanced systems enhance customer experience and help to simplify business in restaurants. POS technology helps food and beverage operators in cash management and collaborates with payment service providers to process the order and retain financial controls.
The phenomenal growth of the food and beverage sector in APAC is likely to emerge as a major driver for the POS terminal market. Warehouse and distribution POS systems help to track inventory at several local and remote locations. Automated repeat tasks such as regular shipment at frequent intervals are simplified using these systems. Hence, the availability of the features mentioned above is driving the application of the POS terminal in the warehouse and logistics sector. APAC is likely to emerge as a major end-user due to the expansion of the e-commerce sector and rapid improvements in transportation infrastructure.
