Point of Sale (POS) Terminal MarketSegmentation Analysis

On-Premises is the Most Preferred Deployment Type

Based on the deployment, the market is further bifurcated into cloud and on-premises. On-premises holds the majority of the market share, around 63%. This is due to its compatibility with other vendor tools and services and minimum exposure to cyberattacks, etc. The on-premises POS terminal is cost-effective as it performs well with the existing hardware and software of the enterprise. This reduces the time and work of synchronization of the inventory, consumer relationship tools, etc. It also reduces the additional cost paid for the recovery from the cyberattack, as the implementation of measures such as firewalls, encryption, etc., into the local storage, prevents the data breach.

However, the initial setup cost of the on-premises POS terminal is costly, but its long-term operational cost is feasible. Thus, the cost-effectiveness and the prevention of cyberattacks have increased the deployment of on-premises POS terminals across the globe.
