Italy POS Terminals Market Trends & Drivers:

The Italy POS terminals market is experiencing robust growth, driven by the significant shift toward digital payments. In 2024, digital transactions surpassed cash for the first time, reaching €481 billion and accounting for 43% of consumer spending. This milestone has fueled demand for advanced POS systems, with the market projected to expand from approximately 3.34 billion units in 2025 to 6.23 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 13.27%. Increased consumer preference for convenient, secure electronic payments, accelerated by post-pandemic habits, continues to propel installations across retail and hospitality sectors.

Contactless and mobile payment technologies are key drivers transforming the Italian POS landscape. Contactless transactions now dominate in-store payments, comprising around 90% of volumes, supported by widespread NFC-enabled terminals and mobile wallets. SoftPOS solutions, which turn smartphones into terminals without additional hardware, have seen rapid adoption, with deployments reaching 152,000 units in 2024. Providers like Nexi and myPOS report strong growth in mobile-first acquiring, reflecting merchant demand for flexible, low-cost options that enhance transaction speed and customer experience.

Regulatory mandates and tax compliance requirements are accelerating POS terminal upgrades in Italy. Starting January 2026, mandatory integration of POS systems with fiscal registers for real-time VAT reporting will trigger widespread hardware refreshes. Pilot programs in regions like Lombardy have already shown 18% quarter-on-quarter growth in compliant terminals during 2025. Government initiatives to promote cashless transactions and reduce the shadow economy further support this trend, ensuring businesses invest in certified, secure POS solutions to meet evolving fiscal and security standards.
