Overview Preview FAQs Pricing

After a dismal 2009 that saw POS shipments drop 12% and revenues drop over 15%, the North American POS Market is poised to grow once again in 2010. The market looks even stronger for subsequent years. This study focuses on the Retail POS market in North America for 2009-2014. It includes shipment, installed base and trends analyses of POS devices based on processor speed and operating system choice.

Additionally, the report covers emerging trends and influences that affected the market in 2009 and those that will help form market decisions in the future. It also includes estimated market value for shipments and installed base and a forecast for shipments and installed base through 2014.

New this year is the expansion of both the Processor types as well as the Operating Systems studied.
  • Processor Types - We combined the Pentium I & II with Pentium III/V/C, and expanded the Dual Core and Above category into two categories; one for Dual Core and one for Core 2 Duo and above.

  • Operating Systems - We revised this area to include Windows 7 with Vista.

All of the Processors and the Operating Systems tracked in the Report can be found at the FAQ tab. For an outline and sample pages, see the Preview tab.

The report is designed for use by POS Hardware and Software Providers, Maintenance Providers, Printer Manufacturers, EFT device vendors, Retailers and others who might have a vested interest in the North American Point-of-Sale Market.
