Dublin, Sept. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Latin/South America Retail POS Terminal Market Study" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Now Updated - COVID-19 Impact Included
The market for POS in LATAM continues to grow, but 2019 saw many struggles in certain countries due to corruption, crime and political instability. Large western retailers continue to expand in the market, bringing new POS terminals with them. Yet not all the news is good news. Natural disasters, the COVID-19 pandemic, fuel crisis, and political unrest threaten pockets of future growth. These trends and more are in our latest study.
The Latin/South America POS terminal market study is 57 pages in length and has 22 figures. It explores the market climate for POS terminals throughout the Latin/Central and South American region. More than just numbers without explanation, this report goes deep into a discussion of retailing in the countries and segments to reveal the forces that are shaping POS purchase decisions.
The analyst believes it is important for customers to not only see numbers, but understand the market behind the data so as to make more informed decisions for the future. The report includes country-by-country shipments, installed base, forecasts and trends for the electronic point-of-sale terminal market in LATAM. Note that this is not a vendor market share report (other than operating systems and processor types), but rather a fresh look at the state of POS technology in the world's fastest-growing market.
Additionally, the report covers emerging trends and influences that affected the market in 2019 and those that will help form market decisions in the future. It also includes estimated market value for shipments and installed base and a forecast for shipments and installed base through 2024.
Along with the general retail environment for each country/region, the analyst discusses the country by country shipments, installed base, and forecasts for the following retail market segments:
