Summary

Product Overview

In our 2024 North America Retail Store Chain Sizing with POS/mPOS study we evaluate 13 retail POS solutions by specific market, assessing POS opportunities & store count — both large and small.

There is no one size fits all for retail and for solutions. The needs differ by retailers size, by subsegment, and even by region. This research for 2024 allows you to size and target the largest specific market opportunities, finding those most ripe for growth opportunities. The information starts by looking at the entire ecosystem, the number of stores, the size of stores and then the type of store technology used. This product is ideal for vendors or private equity that are looking to understand if a market is large enough and what the indirect channel opportunities provide. This is quantitative analysis and is best used in conjunction with the regional POS Terminal Studies. And we have this information available for other regions.

Each regional SMB study breaks out the market in great detail so that you can specifically target growing niche’s in the retail and hospitality market. It provides POS and POS Software sizing along with optional EFT/POS sizing options (how many use signature capture versus PIN/Debit versus embedded payment software). The data is broken down into the following segments:

• Food/Grocery
• Drug Stores/Pharmacies
• Hypermarkets/Supercenters/Warehouse Clubs
• Department Stores
• Mass Merchants and Discounters
• Specialty Hard Goods (DIY, Electronics, Books, Furniture, Sporting Goods, etc)
• Specialty Soft Goods (Apparel, Shoes, Leather Goods, etc.)
• Fast Food
• Bar/Table Service Restaurants
• Lodging
• Entertainment – Casinos and Cruises
• Entertainment – Stadiums, Museums, Theme Parks
