What have been the primary factors driving the smart card reader market’s growth?

The surging adoption of digital payment modes is expected to propel the growth of the smart card reader market going forward. Digital payment modes refer to various methods of transferring value electronically without involving physical cash. They encompass a wide array of techniques, including mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) systems, contactless payments, digital wallet payments, peer-to-peer digital payments, social Media & Entertainment payments, cryptocurrency payments, and cross-border or FX payments. The main reason behind the surge in digital payments is the increasing adoption of smartphones and internet connectivity. Smart card readers can integrate with digital payment modes primarily through contactless payments, which utilize near-field communication (NFC) technology. For instance, in July 2024, according to the UK Finance, a UK-based trade association, the UK saw a total of 18.3 billion contactless payments in 2023, marking a seven percent increase from 17.0 billion in 2022. Contactless payments accounted for 38 percent of all transactions made in the UK. Therefore, the surging adoption of digital payment modes is driving the growth of the smart card reader market.
