Based on distinct product categories, the market for POS terminals include fixed, wireless, and mobile POS terminals. Among these, fixed POS terminals led the market in 2013 in terms of revenue. The segment individually accounted for 81% of the overall POS terminals market, majorly due to early adoption of the technology in the market. However, with the progress of technology, the market for wireless and mobile POS terminals has significantly expanded, since these systems offer certain inherent advantages such as mobility, ease of use, and lower cost of deployment compared to precursors. The report observes that the demand for mobile POS terminals is extremely high among small and medium-scale businesses owing to its low initial cost. Moreover, the use of tablets and smartphones has significantly increased in offices, which is why a mobile POS terminal has started making more sense rather than incurring a huge bill for fixed POS terminals.
