DUBLIN, October 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global POS Receipt Printers Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

A POS receipt printer is primarily used to print and encode receipts at retail stores and hotel and restaurants chains. There are two main types of POS receipt printers in the market - impact and thermal. The revenue of the global POS receipt printer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.64% during 2015-2020.

Increase in use of erasable printing technology will be a key trend for market growth. Paper wastage is a global environmental concern, and companies are developing technologies to reduce the wastage of paper and, in turn, carbon emissions. The global POS receipt printer market will witness the various technologies that support over writing or excessive printing. Such erasable printing technology helps remove printed content or ink on a page using heat through the heat plate placed in the printer. In addition, the technology can also benefit the vendors' paper imports and stock keeping costs. The introduction of devices with this functionality is expected to influence the global POS receipt printer market. So, the rising environmental concerns regarding paper wastage will steer innovation in the market, which will boost market growth.

According to the report, POS receipts as a marketing tool will be a key driver for market growth. The retail and hospitality sectors focus on offering a personalized and interactive experience for consumers. The installation of advanced POS systems with printers allows merchants to focus on a range of customer-oriented campaigns, such as offering discount vouchers along with printed bills, to grow and expand the customer base. Moreover, the terminals also enable loyalty programs for customers, leading to cross-selling and up-selling of products along with printed details. This expands the customer base and increases customer retention. In addition, end users such as retailers and fast food chains can attract customers and analyze buying behavior by storing the data and information using terminals.

Further, the report states that as of 2015, a significant number of retailers used POS systems that were outdated by around five years.
