The retail pos terminals market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the retail POS terminals market has seen a fast-paced increase in the past few years. The growth is projected to rise from $26.67 billion in 2024 to $29.88 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.0%. Factors such as cost reduction and affordability, advanced analytics and reporting, evolution in the retail industry, integration of mobile devices, and the rise of cloud-based solutions have contributed to the growth during the historic period.
The Retail POS Terminals market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated growth is on the horizon for the retail POS terminals market, with projections suggesting a surge to $47.31 billion by 2029, referring to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%.
Factors contributing to this foreseen expansion include improved user interaction, e-commerce and retail store integration, the embracement of subscription-oriented models, adherence to safety policies, data analytics, and personalization. Key trends expected within the forecast period are the enlargement of mobile POS, subscription-driven services, contactless payment methods, omnichannel capacities, customization, and flexibility.
The rise in cashless transactions is proving to be a major factor in propelling the retail POS terminals market. The term 'cashless payments' denotes transactions that don't involve physical cash, and are instead carried out through mediums such as credit/debit cards, cheques, demand draft, national electronic funds transfer, real-time gross settlement, or other online payment methods. POS terminals in retail stores are leveraged to facilitate these cashless payments, including credit card and debit card payments, by using software to read the magnetic strips on the cards and manage other forms of cashless transactions like mobile payments. As an example, data from UK Finance, a finance services company in the UK, indicates a significant increase in debit card payment volume in 2022, with over 23 billion transactions recorded, a rise from the 19.5 billion in 2021. This surge in cashless transactions is, therefore, bolstering the retail POS terminals market.
