Global EPOS and Self-Checkout 2021 sets the standard for market intelligence on electronic point-of-sale (EPOS) and self-checkout technology. It provides market sizes, vendor shares, forecasts and in-depth analysis for every one of 53 countries worldwide, and is used by leading industry suppliers to provide competitor benchmarking, assist with business planning and forecasting, and help identification of growth opportunities.
RBR’s Global EPOS and Self-Checkout is the only study providing reliable market and competitive analysis in each country.
The study uses a mix of primary and secondary research and an extensive in-house database of historical information to produce a product of unmatched quality. Primary research includes a detailed vendor survey backed up by telephone and face-to-face interviews with dozens of industry players.
Increasing competition from online players is prompting traditional retailers to re-imagine their store networks in every aspect, from size and scale to design and layout. The use of technology in stores has never been more important, enabling retailers to offer customers a range of checkout options which suits their preferences.
The latest research shows that in 2020, 1.7 million EPOS terminals and 176,000 self-checkout units were shipped worldwide. The study forecasts how EPOS markets will evolve as the retail and hospitality sectors develop, including the impact of COVID-19. The self-checkout market continues to expand rapidly, with retailers deploying such solutions in new territories year-on-year. It is also diversifying: cashless and compact formats are proliferating, while self-checkout technology is increasingly being used in conjunction with mobile self-scanning.
