The growing need for mobile POS terminals with convenience features like invoice management, inventory management, and image scanners across industry verticals, including retail, tourism, and e-commerce, will push the POS terminal market forward.
- Furthermore, as debit and credit card technology evolved, contactless payments became popular for completing a rapid transaction without inputting a PIN, driving up demand for the POS terminal market in Brazil.
- Growth in smartphone penetration, a large base of SMEs and micro-merchants, and an expansion of card user base due to different government and bank card acceptance programs are boosting the mPOS market.
- The vendors in this region are expanding their product line by launching new products & services, which helps promote market growth. For instance, in October 2022, Wirecard Brasil (formerly Moip), part of the Wirecard Group, the significant provider of digital financial technology, announced the introduction of its omnichannel payment services in Brazil.
