Lean Leads the New Era of Smart Checkout

As the global retail, foodservice, and service industries accelerate their digital transformation, self-checkout systems have emerged as a core driver of operational efficiency and enhanced customer experience. According to the latest industry reports, the global self-checkout market is expected to grow from approximately USD 7.25 billion in 2026 to over USD 21.6 billion by 2034, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 15%. This rapid expansion highlights strong market demand and sustained investment in automated checkout solutions.

Consumer preference is also shifting decisively toward self-checkout. Recent surveys indicate that up to 77% of consumers prefer self-checkout options during payment, primarily due to faster transaction speed and greater convenience—an inclination that is especially pronounced among younger demographics.

Industry Outlook: Automated Checkout Becomes the New Standard

As automation technologies continue to mature globally, retailers and foodservice operators are increasingly adopting self-checkout systems and intelligent POS solutions to address labor shortages, rising operational costs, and growing expectations for seamless customer experiences.

The broader retail automation market shows strong momentum, with self-service kiosks and smart payment devices rapidly becoming standard fixtures in modern stores.

At the same time, leading global technology providers are emphasizing self-checkout and intelligent POS solutions in recent industry exhibitions and product launches. Upcoming international trade shows will further showcase next-generation retail technologies, accelerating the digital transformation of physical stores worldwide.
