The global Point of Sale (POS) software market size reached USD 12.7 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 24.5 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.19% during 2025-2033. The market is experiencing steady growth driven by the escalating need for businesses to enhance operational efficiency and improve customer service, the growing trend towards digital payments and mobile POS solutions, and the integration of advanced technologies.
Point-of-sale (POS) software enables businesses or merchants to manage store operations and perform online retail transactions. It aids in managing inventory, supervising sales, searching for products, accepting payments, scanning consumer goods information faster, tracking taxes, and analyzing and representing sales reports to provide accurate business insights. This, in turn, assists enterprises in ensuring quicker payments, providing a better customer experience, maintaining price consistency, simplifying business operations, and optimizing workflow. At present, POS software is mainly available in fixed and mobile solution types.
The widespread adoption of POS software across various industrial verticals can be attributed to rapid digitization and the increasing need for efficient electronic or in-store payment facilities to ensure safe, flexible, and accurate money management while eliminating human errors. In line with this, the extensive employment of e-wallets (electronic wallets) to store credit and debit card information to provide convenience and flexibility to the user during online transactions is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the integration of software as a service (SaaS), cloud computing, and customer relationship management (CRM) solutions that assist in tracking customer behavior, collecting data, and increasing business revenue is contributing to the market growth. Moreover, the increasing demand for contactless payment options, especially during the sudden outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, is creating a favorable scenario for the market growth. The pandemic led consumers to shift toward various e-commerce platforms to order food, medicines, and other essential commodities, which, in turn, escalated the number of online deliveries, thus propelling the market growth. Other factors, such as the easy availability of high-speed internet connectivity and strategic collaborations amongst leading players to introduce mobile POS with biometric solutions, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
