In recent years, POS machines have developed rapidly in China, and they have changed from the original newly introduced products to mature development industries. It is a multifunctional currency settlement medium that organically connects sales activities with purchases. At this stage, the demand in the domestic market continues to expand. According to China's POS machine network's 2012 national large, medium and small POS machine product sales statistics, China's POS machine industry is still developing rapidly at an average annual growth rate of 15%. If analyzed from a professional perspective, in what direction will POS machines be extended in the future?
From the perspective of long-term development, although the POS machine industry is now developing rapidly with a two-digit growth rate, the demand in China's low-end POS machine market has reached a critical saturation state. When the supply and demand state changes qualitatively This type of reversal will have a severe impact on the low-end and mid-end POS market (which reflects the laws of market economics), and may have a profound impact on the future development pattern of its industry.
The fundamental reason for its development delay is that the homogeneity of low-end and mid-range POS products is very serious, which will lead to fierce price competition. Because its basic function development has reached a mature effect, then its sales price depends on its cost control, including the cost of making raw materials, the cost of processing, the daily expenses of employees, the cost of sales, and the cost of transportation. In other words, in a sense, the low-end POS machine industry is gradually diminishing its high added value, and the market demand is gradually weakening, but the speed of production has not decreased. In the "Warring States Period" market, due to its high price competition, it is continuously reducing sales prices, and costs are rising due to rising material prices. Therefore, there are many reasons for the limited follow-up power of its development, which in turn will have serious hindrances to the future rise of the market.
From the perspective of historical evolution, it can be predicted that the focus of subsequent extension of the mid-to-low-end POS market will expand from the original first-tier cities to second- and third-tier cities. It is also because the first-tier cities have shown signs of saturation. The speed of commercial development in second- and third-tier cities is constantly accelerating. At the same time, the performance of POS machines is constantly being improved, manifested in two aspects, firstly determined by its technical characteristics, and another reason is the development needs of the actual market. The development of the POS machine industry as a buyer's market requires rapid feasibility analysis of the specific needs of customers, and then grasps the business opportunities of uncertainty in the future. For the long-term development of the POS machine industry in the future, it is necessary to speed up the pace of R & D and further increase its added value. Although the demand for second- and third-tier POS machines is currently strong, its future development will repeat the current mistakes of first-tier cities.
Relying on the rapid development of computer network technology, e-commerce has caused a huge impact on the retail industry of transmission, which is also a strong competitor for the future development of the POS machine industry. But the traditional retail industry also has its unique existence value. Therefore, the development momentum of the future POS machine industry is reflected in the following three aspects: First, it is necessary to introduce new technologies, research and develop new platforms, and rely more on the development of information technology. Secondly, it is necessary to develop a multi-functional, high-security POS machine suitable for practical operation. Finally, it is necessary to understand the satisfaction of consumers or customers in their purchase needs, such as the setting of purchase prices and the diversification of vendor channels.
To sum up, the following conclusions can be drawn: the future development of the POS machine industry is coexisting with opportunities and challenges. The industrial development needs to go to the high end, combined with the actual needs of the market, and then proceed from the perspective of technological innovation to improve the technical content and additional of POS machines. Value, and then continuously improve the development of the future POS machine industry.
