Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) Market by Technology (MICR Printing, Reader Sorter), By Processing (Low Speed, Medium Speed, High Speed), By Application (Manufacturing Checks, Issuing Checks), By Region (North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, South America) – Global Forecast 2019 to 2027

MAGNETIC INK CHARACTER RECOGNITION (MICR) MARKET: SUMMARY

The Global Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) Market is projected to reach a value of over USD 473.2 million by 2027 at a CAGR of around 2.9%.

Magnetic ink character recognition is a technology that is used to verify the originality of the paper documents such as checks. Special ink that is sensitive to a magnetic field is used in the printing process to print on original documents. In other words, MICR is a process in which documents are printed with the help of magnetic toner/ink and special fonts to create machine-readable information for fast readable processing of paper-based payments. High accuracy, faster speed, and greater security than Optical character recognition (OCR) are the advantages of MICR technology. Xerox Corporation, HP Inc, Canon Inc, Epson America Inc, and MagTek Inc. are some of the global players in the MICR market.

MAGNETIC INK CHARACTER RECOGNITION (MICR) MARKET: DRIVERS & RESTRAINTS

Market Driver:

• Rising Demand for Fast and Secure Document Processing Technology

The iron-oxide ink is used to make of MICR characters. These characters can be read if the document is hidden or cover by unknown marks or overprinted. MICR system provides a high level of security where MICR characters are required to follow a strict format and use of specific iron-oxide ink which makes the document theft free and difficult to forge. Xerox Corporation, a well-known brand in the MICR market provides MICR technology and printers on which the end-users can perform at high speed. This company provides high-speed MICR printers which process 2000 or more documents per minute and hence it is used in large operational banks, clearinghouses, and processing centers. In recent years, the cases of cybersecurity thefts and cyberattacks are increases which raises the demand for MICR technology during the forecast period.

• Increasing Demand in BFSI Services

In recent years, the BFSI sector is growing at a very high rate due to large investments in new technologies, increasing population, and many others. This code is mainly used in the banking industry to ease the process, clearance of cheques, and other documents. This technology allows MICR readers to scan and read the information directly from the data collection device. MICR has a nine-digit code that is easily readable by humans. In the MICR code, the first three digits represent the city code of the bank branch. The next three digits represent the bank code and the next three digits represent the bank branch. The two unique MICR fonts such as E-13B and CMC-7 are used worldwide to help computers recognize the characters and to reduce check fraud. Hence, BFSI services will increase the MICR market during the next five years.  

Market Restraints:

• Growing Demand for Advance Payment Methodologies

In recent years, the advance payment methodologies such as mobile payments, online bank transfers, and E-wallets are driving the market due to ease of use, fast, and secured transactions.  Currently, the use of E-wallets such as Google Pay and Amazon Pay increases due to accessibility to other cards, two-step security process, and can be easily accessible through mobiles, laptops, and desktops. Hence, the development in advance payment technologies will be expected to hamper the market during the forecast period.
