Mobile POS Hardware Vendor Market Share Report 2018 - ResearchAndMarkets.com


The "Mobile POS Hardware Vendor Market Share" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The move to mobile for associates is the single fastest adopting trend we have seen since the rush to get stores Internet-enabled. This research looks specifically at those mobile devices being used for POS functions.

How big is this market? How fast is it growing? Which vendors are winning? What screen format should you write the software for? This research will tell you.

This product provides shipments and installed base on a quarterly and annual basis for vendors such as Apple, Google, Motorola Solutions, Samsung, HP, Lenovo (News - Alert), Dell, Motion Computing, NEC and many others for use of mobile devices for POS, an area that is exploding in retail. It includes data on screen size formats and operating platforms.

Below in the Product Highlights section we get into the details of the data available. The Preview tab gives you some pictorial examples of the types of data available.

This is very data intensive research and can go as deep as shipments by segment by region by operating system or processor-type. The data can also be purchased simply in aggregate by vendor worldwide or by individual region. Included are historical data back 2 years and projections forward for the next 6 quarters by vendor.

These data are meant to be used in conjunction with the Mobile POS tudy which provides the qualitative background of the trends. It is in this study where we discuss trends, barriers to entry, and growth assumptions. The data here is purely quantitative in nature. We are thankful to the vendors who participate in sharing data points to make this as accurate as possible.
