An electronic cash register (ECR) is a digital device used in retail and hospitality settings to calculate and record sales transactions, manage cash flow, and print customer receipts. It usually integrates with point-of-sale systems, tracks inventory, and can generate detailed financial reports to streamline business operations.
There are two main types of electronic cash registers stationary and portable. A stationary electronic cash register is a fixed-point-of-sale device with computing and transaction capabilities, commonly used in retail environments for processing sales, managing inventory, and generating receipts. Its applications extend to industries such as oil and gas, refining, power generation, and chemicals for end users in retail and hospitality.

The electronic cash register market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $18.66 billion in 2024 to $21 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to an increase in the number of checkout terminals, adoption by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), increased focus on consumer convenience, expansion and modernization of the retail industry, and increased consumer spending.
The electronic cash register market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $33.43 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing penetration of the internet, increasing digital payments, increasing demand for mobility, increasing adoption of contactless payments, and rising consumer expectations. Major trends in the forecast period include innovative technologies, mobile payment integration, data analytics, and business intelligence, adoption of cloud-based point of sale (POS) solutions, and integration of artificial intelligence.
The rising adoption of contactless payments is expected to drive the growth of the electronic cash register market in the future. Contactless payment methods enable consumers to complete transactions securely by tapping or waving their payment devices near POS terminals equipped with the necessary technology. These payments are becoming more popular due to their convenience, speed, and enhanced security features. Electronic cash registers facilitate contactless payments, safeguarding sensitive card information and offering secure, efficient, and hygienic payment options to consumers. For instance, the Banking & Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI) reported in March 2023 that contactless payments in Ireland amounted to $19.42 billion (€17.9 billion) in 2022, a 31% increase from 2021. This growing trend in contactless payments is, therefore, fueling the electronic cash register market.
