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.

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.

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.

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.
