12. Where would I put my money?
โข Nascent phase of the industry.
โ POS and ATM are driving card adoption
โข POS terminal installation and maintenance is a
small market and a low margin game.
โ Very small market, about Rs. 400 crores annually.
โ Volumes are growing, but ATMs already there.
โ Might become door-openers for pure ATM
manufacturers like Vortex to increase their margins.
โ Prizm and Venture Infotek exploring tie-ups with
Vortex for inclusion of ATMs in their portfolio.
In just six years (between 2001 and 2007), developing countriesโ share has jumped from 9% to 20%, led by CEMEA and BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China), in which annual growth was around 25% during the 2001-07 period.
Debit cards accounted for 57.5% of total non-cash purchase transactions in 2008, up from 22.9% just ten years earlier. Debit cards first overtook credit cards as the preferred means of US consumer payments in 2004, and their rise has been notable ever since. Still, the economic downturn made credit cards even less popular in 2008, and the debit cardsโ share of transactions grew by 5 percentage points from 2007.
