Japan POS terminals market size is projected to exhibit a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.56% during 2024-2032. The rising need for safe transactions and the growing popularity of electronic payment methods are primarily driving the regional market.

A POS terminal is an electronic device utilized to facilitate card transactions at various establishments like supermarkets, theaters, train stations, medical shops, and eateries. It is divided into software and hardware components. The software segment encompasses inventory control, content handling, and setting adjustments. On the other hand, the hardware sector comprises main units, transaction machines such as mobile devices and tablets equipped with card reading functionalities, and additional peripherals like displays, code detectors, print machines for bills, and currency compartments. The POS operation typically initiates with the reading of a consumer's data presented via their credit, debit, or prepaid card. Subsequently, the terminal assesses if the existing balance is adequate to finalize the payment from the consumer's banking institution. Upon validation, the transaction is executed, the terminal records the exchange details, and affirms it by dispensing a confirmation slip.
