Currency Sorter Market: Growth Drivers

Detection of counterfeit currency drives market growth

Businesses, banks, and government organizations are very concerned about the proliferation of counterfeit currency. Currency sorters that are outfitted with cutting-edge technology for detecting counterfeit money, such as magnetic and UV ink detection, offer a vital line of defense against fake currency and are a vital weapon in the battle against financial fraud. For instance, according to the Bank of Russia, in 2022, there were over 22,900 counterfeit coins and banknotes found in Russia's financial system—a 1.6-times drop from the previous year. Out of one million banknotes in circulation, there were only four fakes (compared to six counterfeit banknotes in 2021). Therefore, the aforementioned facts are expected to propel the global currency sorter market expansion during the forecast period.

Currency Sorter Market: Restraints

An increasing number of card transactions hamper the market growth

Currency sorters are at risk due to the increase in customer cashless payment activities. When shopping at retail or hospitality businesses, customers use cards or online payment methods to make easy purchases. As a result, banks and retailers are funding the market for cashless technologies. Globally, cards were used for about half of all financial transactions in 2021. Furthermore, the surge in online payments has propelled the expansion of the retail e-commerce sector, impeding the growth of the currency sorter machine market throughout the projected period.

Currency Sorter Market: Opportunities

A growing number of bank branches in developing economies offers an attractive opportunity for market expansion

Currency sorters will become more and more in demand as banks in emerging economies build branches to reach the unbanked populace in places like India. In 2008, there were 9.28 commercial bank branches per 100,000 adults in India; by 2020, that number had increased to 14.7 per 100,000 persons. In a similar vein, Armenia saw an increase in commercial bank branches from 17.3 per 100,000 adults in 2008 to 24.6 per 100,000 persons in 2020. In the years ahead, these variables could boost currency sorter industry expansion.
