Brief Overview
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition is a system of character recognition that uses special ink and characters. When a document containing this ink needs to be read, it passes through a machine that magnetizes the ink and then translates the magnetic information into characters. It is a technology used to verify the originality of paper documents, such as cheques and passbooks. In the printing process, special ink that is sensitive to the magnetic field is used to print on the original documents. The benefits of MICR technology are high precision, faster speed, and greater security than Optical Character Recognition (OCR). MICR is a character-recognition technology used to streamline the processing and clearance of cheques and other documents, primarily by the banking industry.
Market Insights
Rising Demand for Fast and Secure Document Processing Technology
For making MICR characters, iron-oxide ink is used. These characters can be read if the document is hidden or covered by unknown marks or overprinted. The MICR system provides a high level of security where the MICR characters are required to follow a strict format and to use specific iron-oxide ink which makes the theft document free and difficult to forget. Xerox Corporation, a well-known brand in the MICR market, supplies MICR technology and printers that end-users can perform at high speeds. This company supplies high-speed MICR printers that process 2000 or more documents per minute and are therefore used in large operating banks, clearinghouses, and processing centers. In recent years, the cases of cybersecurity thefts and cyber-attacks are increases which boosts the demand for MICR technology during the forecast period.

Increasing Demand in BFSI Services
The BFSI sector is rising at a very high pace, owing to major investments in new technology, population growth, and much more. MICR primarily used in the banking industry to ease the operation, clearance of cheques, and other documents. This technology helps MICR readers to search and read the information directly from the data collection system. MICR has a nine-digit code that is easily readable by humans. In the MICR code, the first three digits represent the bank branch's city code. The bank code is represented by the next three digits and the bank branch represents the next three digits. To help computers recognize the characters and to reduce check fraud, the two distinctive MICR fonts such as E-13B and CMC-7 are used globally. Hence, BFSI services will increase the MICR demand over the forecast year.
However, the optimization of data storage, readiness, bandwidth, and data accuracy are the current industry developments that are generating new opportunities for the market for MICR devices. Consequently, in the coming years, the increasing proliferation of advanced payment methodologies is expected to impede the growth of the demand for MICR devices. In addition, the high cost of the MICR readers, printers, and ink toners needed for printing is expected to limit the growth of the worldwide market for MICR devices.
