Executive Summary

Point-of-sale (POS) software is a software system used by consumer-facing business owners for managing the entire lifecycle of order management and conducting transactions at the customers’ points of contact. With rising internet penetration and growing number of touch points of a single business, POS software vendors are leveraging the opportunity to grow in the industry. With rising digitalization and multi-channel business strategizing, the POS software market is expected to experience more growth. POS software is deployed by businesses to fulfill their customer orders, manage inventories and complete transactions.

Small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) and large businesses have outlets (physical stores) and online websites, all connected through their inventories and POS systems. Customer data is collected through various details about the customer through their history and transaction executions and further used for analysis and understanding customer behaviors and making business decisions.

Deploying POS software in the cloud or on-premises depends on a business ability to scale, enabling transaction processing through cloud services, whereas traditional POS software allows transactions to process only through local servers.

The global rise in internet usage in the wake of COVID-19, growing adoption of business automation systems and a surge in cloud-based software adoption are some of the key factors driving the growth of the current POS software market. However, network privacy and security concerns, along with difficulty in implementation due to high costs are hindering market growth.

In this report, the global market for POS software has been segmented based on component, organization size, deployment mode, end use and geography. Based on component, the POS software market has been categorized into software and services.

Based on organization size, the POS software market has been segmented into SMEs and large enterprises. Based on deployment mode, the POS software market has been segmented into on-premises and cloud. Based on end use, the POS software market has been segmented into retail, restaurants, hospitality, healthcare, entertainment and others.

By geography, the POS software market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and RoW. The North America region currently is the most dominant market for POS software.
