Global Wireless POS Terminal Market Definition

A point-of-sale (POS) terminal is a piece of hardware used to accept credit cards at retail businesses. The gear includes software that reads magnetic strips from credit and debit cards. The next generation of POS systems includes proprietary and third-party portable devices (as opposed to terminals fixed to a counter), as well as contactless capabilities for future kinds of mobile payments. Because of their portability, such systems are perfect for restaurants and pubs with limited seating. Furthermore, it employs 3G technologies to enable restaurants, shops, and taxi/car drivers to make payments while on the move.

Wireless POS terminals enable users to accept additional payment alternatives and capture more revenue in mobile enterprises such as food trucks, pop-up stores, and delivery businesses. When a credit card or debit card is used to make a purchase, a traditional point-of-sale (POS) terminal reads the magnetic strip to determine whether there are sufficient funds to transmit to the merchant and then completes the transaction. The sale is documented, and a receipt is printed emailed, or texted to the buyer. Depending on how they choose to manage cash flows, merchants can either buy or lease a POS terminal. Buying a system has higher upfront expenses, whereas leasing provides lower monthly payments, though overall lease payments over the device’s useful life may be more than a one-time purchase.

Global Wireless POS Terminal Market Overview

Some industry trends that may drive market growth over the forecast period include expanding the acceptability of cashless transactions, increasing the adoption rate of wireless terminals among retailers, and increasing E-commerce transactions. India, in particular, is experiencing rapid growth in demand for wireless POS terminals, which can be ascribed to the government’s ongoing efforts to encourage a cashless economy. Payments made with digital cards such as credit cards and debit cards had a significant impact on the economy during the demonetization phase when the country had a lack of hard currency.

The increased use of credit and debit cards is allowing for the use of wireless POS terminals, and technology improvements such as NFC and HCE compatibility are just a few of the significant industry trends projected to drive demand for the devices. Installations of mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) systems make it easier for service providers to conduct financial transactions, which improves the client experience. This is owing to the capacity to operate via mobile devices such as smartphones and laptops, as well as cost-effective procedures and mobility in nature, all of which are predicted to grow in popularity over the forecast period.

Additionally, the market is likely to be driven by an increase in the adoption rate of wireless point-of-sale terminals in the retail and e-commerce sectors over the research period. On the other hand, major security risks related to cyber-attacks, as well as a lack of public knowledge, have remained a challenge for the Global Wireless POS Terminal Market. However, the market has significant hurdles, including security issues, expensive system maintenance costs, and a slow rate of adoption of wireless terminal devices, which may restrict the industry’s growth.
