The India Point-of-Sale (PoS) Terminal Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 24.1% from 2023 to 2029, driven by government-led digital initiatives, rising adoption of contactless and UPI-enabled transactions, and increasing demand from sectors like grocery and retail alongside the emergence of smart, software-based PoS technologies.
India Point-of-Sale (PoS) Terminal Market is running at a faster pace. In the year 2016-17, imports experienced a nearly fivefold increase primarily due to the impact of demonetization. Following this, import figures remained steady for the next few years, averaging around 0.8 million units annually. However, in 2019-20, the number of imports nearly doubled, reaching 1.78 million units. The import numbers for the first quarter of FY21 declined due to the effects of COVID-19 on supply chains and reduced demand. During the initial four months of the financial year 2021, 0.37 million units were imported. There are several factors that are expected to contribute to the further increase in the adoption of Point-of-Sale (PoS) terminals. These growth enablers include relaxed government regulations on digital payments, a shift towards cashless transactions, the introduction of value-added features in PoS terminals, and higher demand from specific sectors.
According to 6Wresearch, India Point-of-Sale Terminal Market revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of 24.1% from 2023-2029. India's digital payment market growth is revolutionary, facilitated by various initiatives by the Government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Given its status as the second-most populous country and the increased presence of major card providers in recent years, India is a crucial market for PoS terminals. The COVID-19 pandemic has created a significant opportunity for NFC technology-based PoS terminals, which enable contactless transactions. PoS terminals equipped with features to support UPI are in high demand in large retail stores to expedite the billing process. Additionally, the micro-ATM sector (PoS terminals) is experiencing growth as it is widely used for AePS-based payments. The Point-of-Sale Terminal Market in Indonesia is anticipated to continue expanding as the payments infrastructure undergoes modernization and payment cards gain greater acceptance. These factors are expected to play a crucial role in driving market growth in the coming years.
Software-based Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals are expected to experience the highest growth in the future in India as it can be easily deployed and scaled according to business needs. Updates and upgrades can be done remotely, eliminating the need for physical hardware replacements. This flexibility makes them attractive to businesses of all sizes, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that may have limited resources.
Fixed segment by technology is growing more in the market and the similar segment has more chances to grow more effectively in the years to come.
Smart Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals are expected to experience the highest growth in the future in India as Smart POS terminals can leverage emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies can enable features like facial recognition for secure payments, personalized recommendations based on past purchases, and predictive analytics for inventory management.
POS demand from the grocery segment is currently dominating the market and has more chances to rise in the market even in the near future. The increasing adoption of cash-on-delivery options through on-site payment methods such as debit/credit cards by major e-commerce platforms following the pandemic is expected to drive the demand for POS terminals in the grocery sector in the coming years.
The demand for POS terminals is expected to grow more in North India in the years to come. The segment is still flourishing and will flourish more in the future.
