Research Shows NCR Continues to Lead Global ATM Market
NCR Reaches 22nd Consecutive Year Milestone; Notes Strength in North America, China
DAYTON, Ohio, Oct 09, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR) today announced that it continues its
automated teller machine (ATM) market leadership position worldwide,
reaching yet another milestone as the world's
leader in self-service ATMs for the 22nd consecutive year. Two
authoritative independent research entities, Retail Banking Research
(RBR) and ESP Payments Practice, recently noted NCR's
market leadership, including specific notations for North America and
China as important areas of strength and opportunity for NCR.
Based upon data gathered directly from bankers and other deployers, RBR's
"Global ATM Market and Forecasts to 2013"
report confirms NCR as the largest ATM manufacturer globally with an
installed base market share of 30.1 percent. RBR also indicates NCR
holds a leadership position in China, with an installed base market
share of 32 percent, and in the North American market with an installed
base market share of 26.4 percent.
Likewise, in the recently released ESP Payments Practice report, "The
Future of ATMs: 8th Annual Market Tracking Study,"
NCR is named the market leader in ATM shipments to the financial
industry in the United States. Based on ESP's
market research, in 2007 NCR shipped more ATMs to U.S. banks, credit
unions and other financial institutions than any other ATM provider
worldwide.
"While we are certainly pleased our market
leadership continues to be recognized by leading industry experts, what
is truly important is that financial institutions continue to value that
leadership by turning to NCR as their self-service partner,"
said Brian Bailey, NCR vice president for Financial Industry Marketing. "In
today's challenged markets, financial
institutions are using the self-service channel more than ever to
capitalize on new consumer demands by offering innovative transactions
like deposits, bill payment, statement printing and updating personal
particulars, such as address and phone number. NCR is at the forefront
of leading this self-service movement."
According to RBR's report, the global ATM
market has grown rapidly with Asia Pacific leading ATM growth, taking
about one-third of global market share. China, in particular, has shown
double-digit growth for the past few years and its growth has dominated
the Asia Pacific region. RBR forecasts that the China ATM market will
continue to maintain double-digit growth from 2008 to 2013.
NCR notes that while the U.S. migrates to a replacement market, it
remains an opportunistic market for the introduction of newer ATM
transactions. These transactions will be enabled by the growth of
intelligent deposit technology as banks strive to differentiate through
convenient and secure financial transactions. The U.S. market currently
boasts more than 1,300 ATMs per million people, thereby paving the way
for integrated services on the vast U.S. ATM network, whereas in China,
with less than 100 ATMs per million population, the primary opportunity
remains in new placements.
"Riding on this tremendous market
opportunity, NCR is poised to continue our self-service leadership
position by delivering innovative solutions that meet local needs,"
continued Bailey. "One example is the
successful global launch of NCR SelfServ(TM),
the world's most advanced range of ATMs,
achieving significant orders to date from more than 120 financial
institutions, including major customers in Australia, Canada, China,
Spain and the United States."
