OYSTER BAY, N.Y. — In the new report "Next Generation Financial Kiosks: No Bank, No Card, No Envelope Required," NextGen Research forecasts global markets for financial kiosks and enhanced ATMs will grow at a compound annual rate of 9 percent to include more than 186,000 financial kiosks and nearly 2.5 million ATMs by 2013, more than half of them installed in the United States.
"The factors driving growth in this sector include consumers' ever-increasing acceptance of ATMs; their growing comfort with the technology as ATMs grow increasingly ubiquitous; the declining cost of deploying an ATM; and the untapped potential of developing countries that will see soaring deployments," said Larry Fisher, Research Director for NextGen. "Coupling those factors with the changing dynamics of the consumer payment systems market, it's clear that kiosks and ATMs make good financial sense to both deployers and users."
