Customers desire secure, faster, more convenient, and trustworthy means of obtaining cash. As technology advances, encouraging the widespread use of ATMs globally. Improved security measures, such as biometric and one-time password authentication methods to avoid fraud, as well as the introduction of Smart ATMs for users with particular needs, all contribute toward the growth of cash logistics market. Moreover, the rise in demand for automation in the banking sector in a number of established and emerging markets is likely to stimulate demand for ATMs. As per studies, in 2021, there are 41.24 ATMs for every 100,000 adults worldwide which has increased from 40.75 ATMs for every 100,000 adults in 2019.

The new payment cards provided improved verification and security against scams/fraudulent operations. This factor is likely to boost the confidence of the user, thus promoting the use of ATMs.

Cash-In-Transit Segment Dominates the Market due to Increase in Physical Cash Flow

The cash-in-transit category is predicted to account for a proportionally large revenue share during the forecast period, owing to expanding cash-in-circulation globally and a growing number of cash-in-transit vehicles. The availability of standard and comprehensive cash logistics automation systems has increased their acceptance by cash-in-transit companies around the world, allowing them to streamline cash transport, and complex counting procedures.

This is leading to an increase in the use of cash-in-transit logistics solutions by financial institutions and government organisations. These main drivers are likely to drive significant revenue to cash logistics market.

The Asia Pacific market is likely to post a robust revenue CAGR over the forecast period because a major portion of the population is cash-focused. This can be ascribed to a rising requirement for effective cash logistics and management. Many people in nations such as India, China, Vietnam, and Taiwan, among others, require enormous sums of money to buy everyday necessities such as gasoline, food and beverages, groceries, and other large purchases.

This has generated logistical issues for retail banks, requiring sophisticated planning and the construction of a leaner cash supply chain. Some major factors expected to contribute to revenue growth in this region include a growing focus on minimising costs associated with non-vital tasks such as refilling and transport, the development of an integrated cash supply chain, and an increase in outsourcing of cash replenishment, and maintenance.
