Growing digitization and increasing use of plastic money for transactions is expected to be the most prominent driver for the mobile card reader market over the forecast period.

Ability to accept plastic money on the go is the prominent trend that will drive the industry growth

Large number of micro, small and medium enterprises are emerging across the globe, specifically in the emerging economies. According to the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, around 97% of the enterprises in the APEC regions were small and medium enterprises, as in December 2013. Moreover, most of the small businesses that include startups, restaurants, and freelancers among many others, are increasingly driven towards these solutions owing to consumer tendency of making the payment through cards. ‘Cash only’ sign boards have become the most demotivating factor for consumers. This trending digitization of cash transactions through the use of plastic money is expected to prominently drive the demands for mobile card reader market through the forecast period.

U.S. government agencies had begun the shift to the PIN EMV and chip payment standards in January 2015, as per the mandating by presidential executive order. Asia Pacific is expected to witness highest growth rates over the forecast period owing to the growing digitization and the increasing number of transactions through smart devices. In India, Digital India campaign (in July 2015) and Indian banknote demonetization (in November 2016) by the government had led to significant increase in demands for e-transaction. Such initiatives will also provide considerable growth opportunities for card readers over the next few years.
