Market Research Added A New Report "Point-of-Sale
(POS) Keyboard Market". A point-of-sale (POS) system is
a computerized replacement for a cash register. This system has the
ability to record and process customer orders, process credit and
debit card swipes, and manage inventory. Generally, a POS system has
a personal computer as its core which is provided with specialized
I/O devices and application specific programs. At the POS, merchants
calculate the amount of purchase by the customers and prepare
invoices. It is the point where customers make payments for the goods
they have purchased. After the payment is completed, customers are
issued printed receipts of the transaction. A wide variety of tools
such as cash registers, barcode scanners, and electronic card readers
are used by retailers to proces POS transactions. The POS market
requires long lasting keyboard solutions, which occupy minimum space
and go beyond traditional PC keyboards. POS keyboards are specialized
to meet the requirements of POS systems. To maximize functionality,
these keyboards have specialized buttons, programmable keys, embedded
credit card swipe readers, smart card readers, MICR check readers,
biometric (fingerprint scanner) security, and other devices. Various
design considerations such as the features to integrate, keyboard
reliability, key top design, key programming, and ergonomics are
considered while designing POS keyboards. Space is at a premium in
POS environment, and this mandates POS keyboards to be compact in
size. To allow easy recognition of visual features, these keyboards
are customized with color keycaps, which reduces transaction time and
helps in training new employees. The keyboards are ruggedized
according to the requirements of the retail environment.
The advancements in
technology have resulted in the growth in demand for POS terminal
solutions. Increasing adoption of credit and debit cards in
transactions is further fueling the demand for POS terminals, which
is in turn driving the POS keyboard market. The ease of use and high
return on investment associated with POS terminals has increased
their demand across various industries such as retail, distribution,
healthcare, and hospitality. The global retail sector has witnessed
significant growth in the past few years. POS terminals enable faster
bill processing, maintaining customer database, inventory management,
and managing loyalty program of retail stores. These features have
led to the widespread adoption of POS terminals in the retail sector
and has significantly contributed to the growth of the POS keyboard
market. The increasing adoption of these terminals in warehouse
management is further expected to drive the POS keyboard market.
However, data security concerns and probability of card data breaches
pose significant challenges in the growth of this market.
The POS keyboard
market can be categorized on the basis of keyboard type and
geography. Based on keyboard type, the market can be further
categorized into QWERTY and matrix types. Based on geography, the
market can be segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe,
Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa (MEA). North America is a
major market for POS keyboards due the significant growth of retail
stores and quick service restaurants. Similarly, Europe is witnessing
high adoption of POS keyboards due to technological advancements,
growth in the retail sector and significant investments in healthcare
segment.
