The growing demand for contactless payment solutions is expected to drive the expansion of the outdoor payment terminals market. Contactless payment solutions enable secure and fast transactions without physical contact, typically using radio frequency identification (RFID) or near field communication (NFC) through cards, smartphones, or wearable devices. This demand is increasing due to the need for faster, safer, and more convenient transactions that improve customer experience while minimizing physical contact. Outdoor payment terminals facilitate seamless contactless payments by offering secure, quick, and convenient transaction options in open-air settings such as fuel stations, parking lots, and drive-thrust. For example, a report published by UK Finance Limited, a UK-based trade association, revealed that in 2023, 42% of adults were registered for mobile payments - up from 30% in 2022 - with 98% of those registered making payments and 82% doing so monthly. Overall, 34% of the population used mobile contactless payments monthly. Therefore, the rising demand for contactless payment solutions is propelling growth in the outdoor payment terminals market.

Key players in the outdoor payment terminals market are focusing on developing innovative technologies such as contactless and Europay, Mastercard, and Visa (EMV)-compliant systems to enhance transaction speed, security, and user convenience. These advanced payment technologies enable secure tap-and-go transactions via RFID or NFC, while meeting global chip card security standards. For instance, in October 2023, Invenco Group Ltd., a US-based retail technology firm, launched the FlexPay 6 product line, featuring models such as the FlexPay 6 M1-15, A2-09, and A1-05. These outdoor payment terminals are specifically designed for integration with fuel dispensers and comply with PCI 6 and the latest EMV contactless standards. They offer native cloud connectivity and built-in 2D barcode scanners that support contactless payments by default. The FlexPay 6 series provides both modular and all-in-one configurations, equipped with high-resolution touchscreens, integrated printers, multimedia features, and support for various payment methods including NFC, mobile wallets, loyalty cards, and QR codes. These features enhance consumer engagement while lowering overall ownership costs.
