MARKET TRENDS

The India POS terminals market is primarily driven by the rapid adoption of contactless payment solutions. Government initiatives like Digital India have accelerated the shift toward NFC-enabled POS terminals supporting tap-and-go transactions. India's digital payments volumes increased significantly from 2,071 Crore in 2017-18 to 18,737 Crore in 2023-24, mostly from UPI, which is now permitted in seven countries. This growth in digital payments, along with rising contactless transactions, is fueling the demand for POS terminals in India and potentially internationally. The COVID-19 pandemic also accelerated this trend by prioritizing hygiene and convenience.

Cloud-based POS systems are gaining traction among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) due to affordability and scalability compared to traditional systems. These cloud systems offer inventory tracking, sales analytics, and real-time management, helping SMEs streamline operations. Providers such as Instamojo and Mswipe offer subscription models that make advanced POS technology more accessible, with AI and data analytics integration further aiding customer insight and decision-making. This trend is expected to dominate, particularly in tier-2 and tier-3 cities.

The adoption of mobile POS (mPOS) terminals is rising in retail, hospitality, and healthcare sectors. Market players like Pine Labs and Razorpay introduce POS devices with QR code scanning and UPI integration to meet demand. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) promotes secure, seamless digital transactions, encouraging SMEs to adopt POS systems, thereby driving overall market expansion. These factors contribute to growing flexibility and consumer convenience in payment acceptance.

MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

The India POS terminals market growth is propelled by a surge in digital payments and government initiatives such as Digital India. Increased smartphone penetration and the demand for contactless transaction methods support market growth.

The rise in contactless payments driven by NFC-enabled POS terminals supports growth. UPI transaction values surged from INR 1 Lakh Crore to 200 Lakh Crore, underpinning POS demand.
