At a compound annual growth rate of 21.5%, the size of the worldwide Cloud POS market is projected to reach USD 8.82 billion in 2028.
With a growing understanding of the benefits of cloud technology adoption, end-users across the globe are focused on cloud-based applications. In the same way, end-users from multiple business verticals depend on transiting to the POS cloud, relative to the already adopted Client-Server (Conventional POS) terminal. Cloud POS is a POS terminal that removes the need for a computer and wires, as required in the conventional POS client-server terminal. Cloud POS allows traffic transfer to someone else's data center wirelessly. In comparison, there is a reduction in maintenance costs with the introduction of cloud POS terminals.
This can be due to the increasing adoption of cloud technology across the industries and the increasing need for improved operations in the business.

Component Segment
In terms of components, the market is bifurcated into solutions and services. The service segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. POS-related services provide payment services, administration services, portal services, and maintenance services. These services allow companies to establish good customer relationships by consistently helping them during their corporate tenure. Also, these services can support companies by optimizing the utilization of capital, facilitating the delivery of the marketing project, and streamlining marketing operations. Traditional POS schemes typically charge a software-licensing fee per registry, followed by a recurring maintenance fee of 18–20 percent for updates. SaaS, on the other hand, is more of a relationship model in which subscription premiums are charged and no initial contributions are made, as in the case of the conventional POS scheme. These subscription payments cover software, maintenance, backup, and future updates.
Enterprise Size Segment
Based on the enterprise size, the market is segmented into small & medium, and large enterprises. The large enterprise segment leads the market growth in 2019 and it is anticipated to hold its position during the forecast years. Large enterprises are spending heavily to implement successful payment systems that would link all company divisions and their activities to a single network. Besides, they have several operating centers and different distribution & customer service, divisions.

The media and entertainment segment expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is primarily due to cloud-based POS technologies that are commonly used in media and entertainment application areas. In this sector, Cloud POS is installed in casinos, film theatres, amusement parks, museums, and sports arenas. It ensures a scalable and transparent entertainment business. It also provides improved customer support, which in turn continues to boost revenue.
The North American region dominated the overall market in 2019 and it is projected to keep its position during the forecast years 2018-2028.

The growing retail sector and developing infrastructure in the area will further drive the growth of the cloud POS market in APAC.
