The global mobile POS hardware market size was approximately USD 0.65 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 3.66 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 21.2% during the forecast period.

A mobile point-of-sale system is having the same utility as that of a traditional cash register with greater benefits. A smartphone or touch-screen tablet's audio jack or charging connector can be used to connect to a mobile POS system. Transactions are processed by a mobile point-of-sale system, which consists of portable hardware and software. In addition to many other things, it computes sales totals, handles payments, monitors inventory, and gathers business data. Any tablet or smartphone may serve as a checkout station thanks to a mobile POS system. The inherent functionality of being portable makes it incredible to get payments on the go.

A mobile POS terminal enables businesses to accept payments from any location on the globe. This is crucial for organizations that frequently work outside of brick-and-mortar establishments or for businesses that do the majority of their activity on the road. For instance, take into account the fact that most vendors who sell their wares at local festivals, local produce, or conferences are on the road or working off-site. Since they might not always be nearby their establishment to execute a credit or debit card transaction, a mobile POS system would be ideal for them. These mobile enterprises can conduct transactions wherever they are owing to mobile POS systems which are a huge boost to the mobile POS hardware market growth.

COVID-19 Impact: Rising Adoption of Mobile POS Hardware Due To the Social Distancing Norms

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the mobile POS hardware market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 was an unanticipated event that had a negative impact on the global economy. Lockdown restrictions were imposed on nations, travel was restricted, and the healthcare industry was overworked. A number of guidelines, including the social distancing norms, were issued to society in order to limit the pandemic and spread of the virus. Due to these constraints and social distancing norms that discouraged making payments in person, businesses began to adopt mobile POS systems. As a result, during the COVID-19 period, there was an upsurge in demand for mobile POS hardware.

Restraining Factors

Lags In Cybersecurity A Major Threat To The Market Growth

Experts frequently worry about cybersecurity because they believe that POS apps' backend systems are highly susceptible to attacks. Mobile POS solutions are based on the reliability of the conventional off-the-shelf gadget and the downloadable app, unlike closed payment processing systems. According to the Payments Journal, "This means that attackers might be able to access the card processing app if they can compromise the mobile device's operating system or another app that's running on it concurrently with the mobile POS app. Small business owners livelihoods depend entirely on their operations, which can be destroyed by cybercrime. As a result, they are reluctant to embrace mobile POS systems, which could hinder the expansion of the mobile POS hardware market.
