Which major factors have contributed to the expansion of the payment card skimming market?

The increasing incidents of automated teller machine (ATM) fraud are expected to propel the growth of the payment card skimming market going forward. An automated teller machine (ATM) is a specialized computerized device that enables individuals to perform various banking transactions without human intervention or visiting a physical bank branch. With advancements in technology and the widespread use of ATMs for banking transactions, there has been a significant rise in ATM fraud. Payment card skimming measures protect against fraud and unauthorized access, ensuring the safe operation of automated teller machines (ATMs) and safeguarding users' financial information. These measures include PIN authentication, encryption, surveillance and physical security features. For instance, in February 2024, according to the Merchant Savvy, a UK-based credit payment platform, in 2022, total card fraud in the UK reached £556.3 million, representing a 6% increase compared to 2021. Therefore, the increasing incidents of automated teller machine (ATM) financial fraud will drive the growth of the payment card skimming market.
