Cash Logistics Market Report 2025

The cash logistics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $21.9 billion in 2024 to $23.68 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, a rise in the deployment of ATMs, and a rise in the circulation of currency in the economy.

The cash logistics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $34.31 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a rise in the cash-on-delivery (cod) method of payment, an increasing population, and an increase in funding. Major trends in the forecast period include use of artificial intelligence in cash management, technological advancements, and strategic partnerships and collaborations.

The increasing deployment of ATMs is anticipated to drive the growth of the cash logistics market in the future. An ATM, or automated teller machine, is a financial transaction device and an automatic banking platform that operates without the need for a teller or human cashier to facilitate the circulation of physical cash. The process of collecting, managing, and depositing cash at an ATM, which banks outsource to users, is referred to as cash logistics. For example, in November 2023, a report by KAL ATM Software, a Germany-based provider of multivendor ATM software and security solutions, indicated that globally, 43% of respondents reported managing between 1 and 500 ATMs, while 31% oversaw between 500 and 2,000 ATMs, a figure that increased to 32% in 2023. Furthermore, 26% operated more than 2,000 ATMs, rising to 27% in 2023. Additionally, in the UK, annual ATM cash withdrawal volumes experienced a 19% increase. Thus, the growing proliferation of ATMs is propelling the expansion of the cash logistics market.

A factor contributing to the market's growth is the increasing adoption of the cash-on-delivery (COD) method of payment. COD allows buyers to make payments, either in cash or through cards, at the time of receiving their orders. This method results in a surge in cash transactions, thereby driving the demand for cash logistics services. For example, in Indonesia, more than 60% of online purchases in 2022 utilized the COD method for payments, according to Atlantis Press, a Netherlands-based open-access publisher. Similarly, GoKwik, an India-based e-commerce service, reported that 64% of all orders on its network in the second quarter of 2022 were placed using the cash-on-delivery option. The increasing popularity of the COD payment method is expected to be a key factor propelling the growth of the cash logistics market in the forecast period.

Leading companies in the cash logistics market are concentrating on introducing advanced solutions, such as upgradable ATMs, to meet consumer demand and bolster their market position. Upgradable ATMs are designed for easy conversion into cash recycling machines (CRMs) or upgraded systems, providing flexibility for future enhancements without requiring a complete replacement. For instance, in April 2024, Hitachi Payment Services, an India-based provider of payment and commerce solutions, launched the country's first upgradable ATM. This new machine can be seamlessly transformed into a high-performance Cash Recycling Machine (CRM) whenever needed. Developed as part of the Make in India initiative, these upgradable ATMs offer banks increased flexibility and efficiency. The innovative design facilitates a smooth transition from ATM to CRM, minimizing the need for expensive replacements and lengthy installation processes while positioning banks to meet future market demands.

Key players in the cash logistics market are focusing on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to enable effective and efficient cash management and forecasting. AI technologies are transforming the cash management and forecasting processes. For example, in September 2022, Kyriba, a US-based provider of cloud-based finance and IT solutions, announced the launch of Cash Management AI, a new solution leveraging artificial intelligence that uses data science technologies to predict cash availability with enhanced speed, control, and reliability. This innovation will provide greater confidence and precision in financing investments, a critical priority for treasurers in the current environment of rising interest rates and market volatility.

In July 2023, Hitachi Payment Services, an India-based financial technology company specializing in payment solutions, acquired the cash management business of Writer Corporation for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition will strengthen Hitachi Payments' market position by integrating Writer's cash management operations into its overall service offerings, establishing it as a comprehensive provider of payment and commerce solutions.
