POS Printer Market Size, Share, & Trends Analysis By Type (Thermal Printers, Impact/Dot Matrix Printers, Inkjet Printers), By Design, By Connectivity, By Output Type, By End Use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030

POS Printer Market Summary

The global POS printer market size was estimated at USD 14.02 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 20.80 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2030, driven by the rapid digitization of retail and service industries across the globe. One of the significant factors fueling this expansion is the increasing adoption of digital and contactless payment methods.

As businesses transition from traditional cash-based systems to card and mobile-based transactions, there is a growing need for reliable and fast printing solutions to efficiently produce receipts and transaction records. This shift is particularly evident in sectors like retail, hospitality, healthcare, and banking, where customer interaction at the point of purchase is frequent and critical. The widespread adoption of mobile and cloud-based POS systems also contributes to market growth. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly using these modern systems due to their affordability, flexibility, and scalability. Mobile POS systems, in particular, are gaining traction as they allow businesses to serve customers remotely and in non-traditional settings such as food trucks, pop-up shops, and events. Compact and wireless POS printers that can connect via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi are in high demand to complement these setups, driving innovation and investment in this market segment.

Technological advancements are also pivotal in enhancing the appeal of POS printers. Features such as thermal printing, wireless connectivity, high-speed output, and compatibility with multiple platforms (Android, iOS, Windows) make modern POS printers more efficient and user-friendly. These innovations reduce operational costs, enhance customer service speed, and offer durability in high-volume usage environments, making them an attractive investment for businesses. For instance, in April 2025, Star Micronics, a Japanese electronic components and printer manufacturing company, announced that it would showcase its latest POS, payment, and kiosk solutions, featuring the new TSP100IV X4 receipt and TSP100IVSK X4 linerless label printers. Built for retail and hospitality, they offer advanced connectivity and support for fixed, mobile, and cloud applications.

Regulatory frameworks and government initiatives further support market growth. Many governments are implementing policies to formalize the economy and promote digital payments. Initiatives such as India’s Digital India program and similar efforts in Southeast Asia and Latin America encourage businesses to adopt electronic transaction systems, which invariably increases the demand for POS printers capable of generating compliant documentation like tax invoices and receipts.
