Growing Adoption of HSM for Retail Payment Transactions Drives Europe Hardware Security Module Market
The popularity of online data-sharing applications, as well as digital technologies, is increasing due to the trend of remote working. This trend promotes digital transition, particularly for financial institutions such as banks, as e-banking usage and online sales have significantly increased. Digital transactions and payments have also risen as a result of mobile banking and third-party payment apps such as Google Pay or Amazon Pay that are connected to open banking platforms. Financial institutions are implementing hardware security modules for payments in an effort to streamline cryptography processes. They consistently manage numerous security apps and safeguard important payment information and transactions with a single hardware security module (HSM). For retail payment transactions, hardware security modules are implemented to protect the sensitive data of customers. As a result, market players are increasingly focusing on product development in the retail payment ecosystem. For instance, in September 2023, Thales announced the launch of the payShield Cloud HSM service to make it easy and flexible for payment HSMs to migrate to the cloud. Similarly, in June 2023, AWS announced a new service, AWS Payment Cryptography. This service simplifies cryptography operations, which help secure data in payment processing applications for credit, debit, and stored-value cards in accordance with the network, payment card industry (PCI), and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards and regulations. Financial service providers can replace their on-premises hardware security modules with shift payments-specific cryptography and major management functions to the cloud. Therefore, the growing adoption of HSM for retail payment transactions fuels the hardware security module market growth.
