APAC POS Terminals Industry Analysis



The report “Asia/Pacific POS Terminals″ by IHL Services is now available at RnRMarketResearch.com. Contact sales@rnrmarketresearch.com with Asia/Pacific POS Terminals in subject line and your contact details to purchase this report or get your questions answered.

While the North American and EMEA regions experienced satisfactory POS shipment growth in the current economy, the strong growth in the Asia/Pacific region continues to be a highlight of the worldwide POS market. China and India continue to expand, and their swelling retail ranks will continue to drive growth in 2014 and beyond.

Our Asia/Pacific POS Market Study has 24 figures in 52 pages in which we explore the market climate for POS terminals in the Asia/Pacific region. It includes shipment, installed base and trends analyses for POS in Japan, China, India, Australia/New Zealand, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Other Asia/Pacific countries.


More than just numbers without explanation, this report goes deep into discussion of retailing in the segments in these countries to reveal the forces that are shaping POS purchase decisions. Additionally, the report covers emerging trends and influences that affected the market in 2013, and it includes estimates for shipments and installed base through 2018. Note that this is not a vendor market share report (other than operating systems and processor types), but rather a fresh look at the state of POS technology in the world’s fastest growing market.

Product Highlights
