[196 Pages Report] The Point-of-Sale Terminals Market size was estimated at USD 97.64 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 104.83 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 7.67% to reach USD 163.89 billion by 2030.

A point-of-sale (POS) terminal is critical to the payment systems of the retail, hospitality, and service sectors. It is a physical and digital platform for executing customer transactions and managing business sales operations. POS terminals have evolved from traditional cash registers to sophisticated, multifunctional devices integrating various hardware and software technologies. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the adoption of wireless Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals across various retail and restaurant businesses. The growing demand for seamless, efficient, contactless payment methods drives this trend. Contactless transactions reduce physical touchpoints and enable quicker transaction times, enhancing customer satisfaction and retention rates. Integrating cutting-edge technologies such as Near Field Communication (NFC), QR code scanning, and mobile wallets facilitates secure and convenient payment experiences for customers. Modern POS systems have advanced features that streamline business operations, including accounting integrations, sales tracking, inventory management, and customer relationship management (CRM). Such comprehensive solutions help businesses optimize their daily processes, reducing errors and saving time. The primary concern with POS terminals is the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches. These devices store sensitive customer information, such as credit card numbers, personal identification numbers (PINs), and other transaction details. Cybercriminals often target POS systems to steal this data, which can then be used for fraudulent activities or sold on dark web marketplaces. Industry players are investing heavily in robust security measures such as end-to-end encryption and tokenization techniques that protect cardholder data during transmission and storage. Additionally, small businesses and restaurants are implementing wireless POS systems to achieve compact, versatile alternatives with minimal setup requirements and lower upfront investment costs.

Product: Rising demand for POS terminals in retail and restaurants to achieve operational efficiency

Fixed POS terminals are the traditional countertop devices commonly found in brick-and-mortar retail stores, restaurants, and other establishments. These terminals are physically connected to a network through ethernet cables or telephone lines or integrated with peripheral devices like barcode scanners, receipt printers, and cash drawers. Recent advancements in fixed POS terminal technology include the implementation of touchscreen interfaces for enhanced user experience, increased data storage capacity for inventory management purposes, and stronger encryption protocols to safeguard sensitive customer information. Mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) terminals offer greater flexibility than their fixed counterparts by leveraging wireless technology such as Wi-Fi and cellular networks to process electronic payments. These portable devices allow merchants to accept payments anywhere within their establishment and beyond physical premises during trade shows and outdoor events.

End-Use: Growing deployment of mobile terminals owing to portability and ease of use

Point-of-sale (POS) terminals in the entertainment sector cater to diverse venues such as amusement parks, casinos, cinemas, cruise lines/ships, golf clubs, and stadiums. These settings require robust, versatile POS systems to manage high volumes of transactions, offer seamless customer experiences, and handle specific needs like ticketing, reservations, and retail sales within the venue. In the healthcare industry, POS terminals are crucial for handling payments for services, pharmacy purchases, and cafeteria transactions within hospitals and clinics. They support the sector's need for secure, efficient payment processing and are often integrated with insurance billing systems. The hospitality sector, encompassing hotels, resorts, and spas, relies on POS systems for a variety of services, including room bookings, guest services, and on-site restaurants and shops. These terminals facilitate a high level of service customization and integration with property management systems. Restaurants utilize POS terminals to manage orders, process payments, track inventory, and analyze sales trends. These systems range from simple setups for small eateries to complex networks for large establishments, offering functionalities like tableside ordering and kitchen order management. Retail establishments, including convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores, specialty stores, and supermarkets/hypermarkets, depend heavily on POS terminals for daily operations. These systems manage sales, process various payment methods, control inventory, and provide sales reporting and analytics to help businesses stay competitive. In the warehouse sector, POS terminals are used primarily at sales counters and for direct sales operations. They help manage inventory, process sales transactions, and integrate with supply chain management tools to ensure efficiency and accuracy in order fulfillment and stock management.
