Segment Analysis

Contactless POS terminals are expected to achieve a 12.65% CAGR by 2031, despite contact-based devices accounting for 53.90% of the market in 2025. Higher tap-to-pay limits in the EEA reduce checkout friction, boosting adoption rates such as Brussels STIB's 57% contactless use for single rides in 2024. Wallet providers like Apple Pay and Google Pay enhance merchant attractiveness by offering digital receipt delivery, also driving the segment's growth.

Legacy terminals remain essential for high-ticket transactions and older card markets, with multi-interface devices like Verifone's P400 facilitating hardware consolidation. With payment security advancing towards biometric verification by 2028, contactless is poised to surpass 60% market share, solidifying its role as the market's principal growth driver.
