Point-of-sale (POS) terminals are integrated hardware and software solutions for electronic payment and transaction processing, commonly deployed in retail, hospitality, healthcare, and other commercial environments. These systems handle card swipes, QR code scanning, NFC contactless payments, and mobile transactions, while also providing inventory management, sales analytics, and customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities. Modern POS devices increasingly feature touchscreens, cloud-based synchronization, and real-time data analytics, playing a pivotal role in merchants' digital transformation and operational efficiency enhancement.In 2024, global Point-of-sale (POS) terminals production reached approximately 162 m units, with an average global market price of around US$ 98 per unit.
The global shift toward digital payments is fuelling steady demand for POS terminals. Consumer preference for faster, safer, and more seamless transactions has accelerated the adoption of wireless, mobile, and cloud-based POS systems. Smart upgrades and multifunctional integration are driving POS evolution from mere payment tools to comprehensive business platforms. Government policies promoting financial inclusion and cashless transactions also propel accelerated POS replacement in emerging markets, offering abundant industry growth opportunities.
Though growth prospects are strong, the POS sector faces significant challenges. Rapid hardware and software life cycles increase investment pressure on merchants. Security and compliance concerns—particularly adherence to standards like PCI DSS—raise development and operational thresholds. Fragmented technology ecosystems complicate system compatibility and maintenance, while cost sensitivity among SMEs constrains demand for premium POS solutions.
On the downstream front, demand is accelerating for versatile payment solutions. Fixed POS systems remain dominant in large retail and dining environments. However, mobile POS (mPOS) and SoftPOS, valued for their portability and hardware-free deployment, are rapidly penetrating emerging use cases like table-side service, pop-up retail, and micro merchants. Increasing cloud deployments integrated with CRM and marketing systems empower merchants with real-time analytics and customer personalization. The push toward cashless ecosystems and enhancing customer experience is becoming the key driver of the next POS industry transformation.
