The increasing adoption of mobile-based applications will support the industry growth in Europe. Consumers are opting for digital payment applications to reduce the overall hassle of managing paper currencies and fast-track the entire process. This factor has encouraged industry players to increase their market presence in different regions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has moderately impacted the supply and manufacturing of the dedicated mPOS terminals. The outbreak of coronavirus has encouraged government officials to impose lockdown measures and border closures. These factors have created challenges in terms of manufacturing capabilities, supply chains, and logistics. However, social distancing aspects & travel restrictions have shifted consumer focus toward contactless payment options. Mobile applications including Amazon Pay and Google Pay have enabled consumers to complete transactions without direct contact.
