Technavio has published a prediction that the global retail self-checkout terminals market will grow steadily during the next four years and post a CAGR of nearly 18 percent by 2021. The increase in installation, mostly due to increased retailer needs for faster checkout, will drive the production of customized self-checkout kiosks that can be tailored to individual business needs. The report continues that the Americas was a large contributor to the segment during 2016. As more retailers focus on customer service, the Americas, specifically the US will dominate self-checkout growth between now and 2021.
