According to the report, GRGBanking’s sales volume soars to 17,500 and takes up 23.33% of the Chinese market share, ranking No.1 for the 4th consecutive year.
As one of the most emerging ATM markets, China has become the second largest one in the world. Its number of ATM reaches 369,000 units, increased by 23% in 2011. According to the sales volume statistics, the top five ATM suppliers are: GRGBanking, Hitachi, NCR, YH, and Diebold. The top 3 remains the same since 2008, while traditional tycoons such as NCR and Diebold are declining in shares due to the lack of cash recycler’s core technology. Competition still intensifies as the top five companies take up 70% of the total sales volume.
