Mexico POS Terminal Market – 2025

Mexico POS Terminal Market

Mexico’s POS Terminal Market

A Growing Retail Technology Landscape with Urban/Rural Divide

Retail sales in Mexico are dominated by major chains like Walmart de México (over 66% of supermarket sales), as well as other large players such as Grupo Chedraui, Soriana, and La Comer. That said, the market remains relatively fragmented, with a mix of hypermarkets, discount stores, cash-and-carry outlets, convenience stores, pharmacies, and smaller independent retailers. As a result, the Mexican POS terminal market is driven by the larger retailers, but remains less mature in the more rural areas.

Market Trends

  • Foreign retailers continue to expand and bring with them technology partners from the US and Western Europe which outfit locations with modern POS and other retail technology. The result is that modern retail, in the form of malls, hypermarkets and supermarkets, continues to see significant growth.
  • Over the past nine years, retail sales have grown 29.7%, compared to -1.1% for Brazil, +15.0% for Colombia, and +65.1% for the USA.
  • Several domestic retailers serve the more rural areas of Mexico, but Walmart has been a threat. There are now 3,150+ Walmart properties in Mexico, including 327 Supercenters and 173 Sam’s Clubs. Costco (41 stores), HEB (61), Home Depot (133), Dominos (894), Starbucks (892), Subway (792) and McDonalds (374) are other US retailers that have a significant presence.
  • Infrastructure issues persist in Mexico, affecting supply chains and connectivity among states. Infrastructure investment remains lower overall in Mexico, but especially so in the southern regions.
