Artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced point-of-sale (POS) fraud involves fraudulent activities targeting POS systems that are either facilitated by or detected through AI technologies. This includes using advanced algorithms to carry out sophisticated fraud or to identify and prevent unauthorized transactions in real time.
The primary components of AI-enhanced POS fraud consist of software, hardware, and services. Software encompasses malicious AI tools designed to manipulate transactions, imitate legitimate behavior, and bypass security measures to steal financial data or funds. These solutions come in various types, including fraud detection, transaction monitoring, identity verification, risk and compliance management, among others, and can be deployed on-premises or via the cloud. They are intended for organizations of all sizes, ranging from small and medium enterprises to large corporations, and serve multiple sectors such as retail, hospitality, banking and financial services, e-commerce, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the financial sector, particularly in investment strategies and risk management. Heightened tariffs have fueled market volatility, prompting cautious behavior among institutional investors and increasing demand for hedging instruments. Banks and asset managers are facing higher costs associated with cross-border transactions, as tariffs disrupt global supply chains and dampen corporate earnings, key drivers of equity market performance. Insurance companies, meanwhile, are grappling with increased claims risks tied to supply chain disruptions and trade-related business losses. Additionally, reduced consumer spending and weakened export demand are constraining credit growth and investment appetite. The sector must now prioritize diversification, digital transformation, and robust scenario planning to navigate the heightened economic uncertainty and protect profitability.
