Summary and extracts
1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of study
An electronic payment terminal (EPT) is a device that is becoming almost indispensable for retailers worldwide. The classic model consists of a casing, a screen, a keyboard and a card reader. More and more innovative forms of Eftpos terminals are also appearing, such as mobile Eftpos terminals, which are used in particular by companies on the move.
This TPE brings together the 4 parties required for a transaction:
-The cardholder
-The merchant
-The merchant's bank
-The cardholder's bank
This connection guarantees the effectiveness of the payment, unlike payment by cheque, for example, which is a security feature for the merchant. What's more, as consumers carry less and less cash, merchants are obliged to adapt and offer payment by card.
But these payment terminals are subject to commissions on transactions: these generally depend on the type of card used (debit, credit, prepaid...), the country of issue, and the network (VISA, Mastercard, American Express...). These commission rates average between 0.5% and 2.5%.
The size of the global payment terminal market has exceeded $80 billion by 2021, and is expected to grow at a CAGR (average annual growth rate) of almost 7% between 2022 and 2028.
As far as the French market is concerned, just over one in two merchants has an Eftpos terminal, but a strong trend towards digitalization is driving fintechs to position themselves in this segment.
Among the players in this sector are the giants Ingenico (France) and Verifone(USA), as well as fintechs such as iZettle, SumUp and Smile & Pay.
