The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the note sorter market analysis, with negative growth being reported due to increased stringent government rules and regulations to restrict the spread of the virus.

 The pandemic led to a shift towards digital and online services, with the eCommerce industry experiencing rapid growth during this period. This shift has resulted in a decline in cash transactions, which is expected to further restrain the growth of the banknote/currency sorter market. The Ukraine-Russia war has also had significant impacts on the BFSI sector, with sanctions against Russian financial institutions and trade with Russian organizations leading to increased costs and hindered availability of semiconductor chips in the market. Changes in the supply chain are expected to hamper the manufacturing of banknote/currency sorters. Despite these challenges, the note sorter & counter segment is expected to be the largest banknote/currency sorter market segment based on the product. The currency counterfeit detector segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market due to the rising instance of counterfeit notes being used globally. The medium size segment is expected to be the most prominent market segment based on the sorter machine size, with a large number of currency notes being handled by medium-sized sorters. The BFSI segment is the largest market segment based on end-users, with banks handling a large amount of cash currency and coins
