Description

In this analysis IHL Consulting Group reviews the POS Shipments and Installed Base in the North American Retail market (defined as US and Canada for this report). This is a review of the housed printer market in North America. By definition, this report reviews printers that are sold alongside Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals. It does not include printers integrated into POS, Electronic Cash Registers (ECRs), or Electronic Funds Transfer devices (EFT), which we would classify as printer mechanisms. Additionally, we did not review printer shipments associated with banking applications. Finally, we discuss overall trends and forecasts for this market for 2007 and beyond.
