Analyst Perspective:

A mobile card reader is an apparatus that connects to your tablet, laptop, or smartphone and accepts credit and debit card payments. It is small and allows transactions to be carried out using a variety of methods, such as card payments, contactless payments, and tip payments. Mobile card readers also have various functions, such as invoices, receipts, and tax calculations. These devices are cost-effective and charge users a small fee for each transaction. Such instances propel the growth of the market.

Increasing usage of debit cards, credit cards, and smart cards among consumers is the key factor driving the growth of the global mobile card reader market. Increasing digitalization and increasing preference for cashless payments around the world are key trends thrusting the growth of the target market. Mobile card reader reduces paperwork and eliminates the need to stand in line at checkout. This process also tracks transactions that result in the loss of funds for which you are not responsible. Moreover, it is affordable and easy to use. Increasing usage of mobile card readers by businesses to expand their consumer base is also a factor expected to drive the expansion of the market in the future.

Additionally, the development of the e-commerce sector in emerging markets is another factor expected to drive the expansion of the global mobile card reader market. However, security concerns in mobile card readers and instances of identity theft may hinder the growth of the global mobile card reader market. The existence of a cash-based economy is a challenging factor that can affect the growth of the global market.

The acceptance rate of payment gateways among large enterprises is very high as many transactions take place. The largest contributors to this segment are companies from the BFSI, IT, and manufacturing sectors. There are also some extensions of BFSI companies. Intra-regional cross-border banking is also increasing around the world. For instance, as of October 2020, JP Morgan released its card payment provider, QuickAccept, which is a mobile contactless card reader. This will offer same-day deposits without any fee to those with Chase bank accounts.

Thus, the increase in the need for payment gateways will increase the adoption of payment gateways and drive the growth of the mobile card reader market segment during the forecast period.

Mobile Card Reader Market Overview:

A mobile card reader is a small device that connects to a phone or tablet to collect payments from a cardholder's credit card. The versatility of this device allows for card swipe, chip card, and contactless payment transactions. These helps speed up and simplify the payment process.

The increasing adoption of smartphones in digital payments is expected to drive the growth of the mobile card reader market. According to the phone Pay, as of 2020, more than 300 million Indian smartphone users now use digital payments. Also, in North America, 32% of customers use smartphones for the transaction. A smartphone is a mobile phone that is connected to the Internet and has software similar to a laptop. Digital payments are operations that take place online or through digital channels without any physical interchange of funds. This implies that both the payer and the payee exchange money electronically.

The integration of physical card functionality and smartphone functionality will drive the future of card payments and increase the demand for mobile card readers in the retail shopping experience. For example, according to US-based media company Comscore, as of June 2020, nearly 50% of internet transactions worldwide are conducted on mobile devices. It reached 28.6% of transactions or more than US $13.3. Trillion. Therefore, the increasing penetration of smartphones for digital payments is increasing the demand for the market.

As payments become increasingly electronic, NFC payments using contactless IC cards and mobile phones are rapidly becoming popular, and there is a growing need to equip POS terminals with NFC readers. However, it has always been difficult to find additional space for an NFC card reader inside the device housing, as the NFC card reader must maintain the functionality of traditional magnetic cards or contact IC cards. To solve this problem, several players across the globe are launching mobile card readers. For instance, in May 2023, Nidec Instruments developed this new NFC-integrated card reader. Thus, such instances propel the growth of the mobile card reader market.
