According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Smart Finance Hardware Market," The smart finance hardware market was valued at $15.98 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $30 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2022 to 2031.

Increase in use of next-generation smart ATMs that can be remotely maintained increases end users' demand for smart devices and is anticipated to support the expansion of the smart finance hardware market. For instance, a bank in Russia is preventing ATM fraud by deploying facial recognition with Intel RealSense camera technology.

Moreover, it is anticipated that the industry would have plenty of room to develop as a result of the increasing number of ATMs boosting smart finance hardware market trends. According to World Bank data, there were 42.6 ATMs per 100,000 persons worldwide in 2019; this number rose to 51.6 ATMs per 100,000 in 2020.
