Global POS Shipments Update – 3Q25

Q3 2025 POS Market Reality Check: Global POS Shipments grew 3.4% YoY, but regional divergence is stark—North America firing on all cylinders (+15.6%) due to Windows 10 refresh, while APAC stumbled (-4.8%) and LATAM cratered (-21.4%).

The full-year forecast got trimmed by 8.0% for Q4 as trade tensions and macro headwinds reset expectations. Bottom line: North American specialty retail and hospitality are driving recovery, but geopolitical risks and regional softness mean 2025 ends more cautiously than anticipated.
