Cash Logistics Global Market Report 2024

The cash logistics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $20.53 billion in 2023 to $22.29 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. Historical growth can be linked to the vigorous economic expansion experienced in emerging markets, the increased proliferation of ATMs, and an uptick in the circulation of currency within the economy.

The cash logistics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $31.34 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is expected due to the ascent of the cash-on-delivery (COD) payment method, a growing population, and increased funding. Significant trends projected for this period include the integration of artificial intelligence in cash management practices, ongoing technological advancements, and an upsurge in strategic partnerships and collaborations.

The anticipated growth of the cash logistics market is expected to be propelled by an increase in the deployment of ATMs (Automated Teller Machines). ATMs serve as financial transaction machines and automated banking platforms, facilitating the circulation of physical cash without the need for a teller or human cashier. The process of collecting, managing, and depositing cash at ATMs, often outsourced by banks to users, is referred to as cash logistics. For instance, as reported by the Reserve Bank of India, the number of bank ATMs in India reached 213,575 in March 2021, marking a 1.3% increase from March 2020. This rise in ATM development is identified as a significant driver behind the growth of the cash logistics market.

A factor contributing to the market's growth is the increasing adoption of the cash-on-delivery (COD) method of payment. COD allows buyers to make payments, either in cash or through cards, at the time of receiving their orders. This method results in a surge in cash transactions, thereby driving the demand for cash logistics services. For example, in Indonesia, more than 60% of online purchases in 2022 utilized the COD method for payments, according to Atlantis Press, a Netherlands-based open-access publisher. Similarly, GoKwik, an India-based e-commerce service, reported that 64% of all orders on its network in the second quarter of 2022 were placed using the cash-on-delivery option. The increasing popularity of the COD payment method is expected to be a key factor propelling the growth of the cash logistics market in the forecast period.

The cash logistics market is experiencing a notable trend with the introduction of mobile ATMs, a move embraced by major companies to meet consumer demand and enhance their market positions. An example of this trend is evident in the actions of HDFC Bank, an Indian banking and financial services company. In May 2021, HDFC Bank deployed mobile Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) in India to assist clients and offer innovative services. The introduction of mobile ATMs aims to eliminate the need for individuals to withdraw cash solely from limited or fixed locations. HDFC Bank implemented mobile ATMs in approximately 50 cities in India in 2021, with Bengaluru being the bank's 25th city to receive this service. Mobile ATMs provide customers with the convenience of conducting over 15 different types of transactions and are available for a limited time at each location.

A significant trend in the cash logistics market involves key players adopting artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance cash management and forecasting. AI technologies are revolutionizing these processes, contributing to increased effectiveness and efficiency. An illustrative example is Kyriba, a California-based provider of cloud-based finance and IT solutions. In September 2022, Kyriba launched Cash Management AI, a new solution leveraging artificial intelligence and data science technologies to predict cash availability with improved speed, control, and reliability. This innovation is expected to instill greater confidence and precision in financing investments, a crucial priority for treasurers, particularly amid the current environment of rising interest rates and market volatility. The integration of AI in cash management represents a strategic move by key players to stay at the forefront of technological advancements in the cash logistics market.
