A portable POS (Point of Sale) terminal is a compact, mobile device used to facilitate sales transactions away from a traditional checkout counter.

The production capacity of Portable POS Terminal reaches 71,800 k units, and the industry's gross profit margin is approximately between 20% and 40%.

The market demand for portable POS terminals is primarily driven by multiple factors, including the widespread adoption of mobile payments, the accelerated digital transformation of small and micro-sized merchants, the rise of omnichannel retail and instant services, and the advancement of device intelligence through 5G/IoT technologies. In scenarios such as street vendors, mobile supermarkets, express delivery collection points, and temporary sales at exhibitions, traditional fixed cash registers struggle to meet demands for flexible payment processing, real-time inventory synchronization, and electronic invoice issuance. Portable POS terminals, integrating features like QR code payment, IC card reading, 4G/Wi-Fi connectivity, thermal printing, and cloud-based backend management, significantly improve the operational efficiency and customer experience for small and micro-sized businesses due to their lightweight portability, immediate usability, and low barrier to entry. Furthermore, government support for non-cash payment infrastructure, the improvement of the payment license ecosystem, and the integration of SaaS-based value-added services have further accelerated the continued expansion of the portable POS terminal market.
