The Asia Pacific SoftPoS Market would witness market growth of 20.7% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030).
SoftPoS is a software-based contactless payment system that utilizes near-field communication (NFC) technology in tablets and smartphones as a point-of-sale (POS) terminal and enables merchants to accept digital payments affordably to enhance the consumer’s experience. These solutions eradicate the need for additional hardware and simplify and reduce the cost of installing traditional POS terminals. These solutions are often referred to as tap-to-phone or tap-on-phone solutions. Software point-of-sale enables contactless payment methods to increase daily transactions across small and large businesses by offering a superior alternative to standard POS terminals for small and medium-sized businesses.
The emergence of payment bands aims to prevent the need for traditional hardware devices to conduct contactless payment transactions seamlessly and provide mobility advantages over contactless PoS terminals. The wearable devices make contactless payments using barcodes, Near-field Communication (NFC), and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies. For example, in November 2022, BillBox, in partnership with Visa and National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) Payments Bank, introduced TapTap, a new wearable device that enabled consumers to make contactless payments. Thus, the use of wearable payment bands facilitates the reduction of lines and offers a more individualized customer experience through biometric authentication.
According to the 2022 data from India’s Economic Diplomacy Division, due to the pandemic, quick service restaurants (QSRs), other restaurants, groceries, drugstores, and pharmacies accounted for 80% of contactless transactions by volume and 60% of all card transactions. By 2028, it is anticipated that there will be a $6.25 trillion market for contactless payments. It is expected that by 2023, approximately 60 percent of China’s population will have made a mobile payment purchase. If the current trend persists, China may become a cashless economy in which digital payment methods completely replace cash. As a result of the rising contactless payments across the Asia Pacific regional, the market is expected to grow.
