In its report, RBR forecasts that by 2027, the cash management market in retail will be driven by recycling solutions, both at the point of sale and in the back office (+87% growth vs 2022).
Hagen Hoehl, Vice President of Retail Markets for the EMEA region at Glory, commented: “We are delighted to be leading this growing market and delivering solution to our customers in both the front of store and back-office environment. Within the EMEA region, cash still represents the most important payment choice for consumers in store, despite a growing market of non-cash payment alternatives. The latest European Central Bank report – from December 2022 – on the payment attitudes of consumers in the euro area found, that cash still represent 59% of all POS transactions. More and more, we are having discussions with retailers who want to improve the processes and cost around the cash payment option and are optimizing their operations and the customer experience by implementing cash recycling solutions at their point of sale, their self-checkout solutions or in the recent strong growing sector of self service and autonomous store solutions.”
