Self-checkout Systems Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Component (Systems, Services), By Type (Cash Based, Cashless), By Application (Supermarkets & Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030
The global self-checkout systems market size is estimated to reach USD 10.49 billion by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 13.6% from 2025 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increased demand for automation and technology advancements focused on reducing theft incidences are significant driving factors for the self-checkout systems industry. Furthermore, the well-established and widespread presence of retail networks such as supermarkets and hypermarkets and increasing digitalization in the market over the forecast period are creating lucrative opportunities for players in the self-checkout systems industry.
Retailers bet high on self-checkout technology primarily to reduce costs in hiring staff. Although retailers save considerably by cutting labor costs, they are still incurring losses due to thefts. Shoplifting incidences have witnessed an uptick in recent times, contributing to revenue loss. In light of this, self-checkout tech vendors and retailers are collaborating to introduce solutions such as video surveillance or security cameras that alert the staff if theft occurs.
Implementing personal identification on mobile apps is another way by which retailers can reduce thefts. For example, Salling Group in Denmark uses nemID, a unique personal identification number in the country which customers are required to register with, while installing mobile apps that enable scan-n-go shopping.
Currently, retail consumers demand and desire their shopping experience to be in their control, convenient, and secure. Due to this, the end-users increasingly demand self-service solutions. Additionally, with the growing demand for personalized and private shopping, retailers are adopting self-checkout systems or self-service checkouts to attract shoppers toward their brands more effectively.
For instance, Fujitsu's subsidiary, Fujitsu Frontech North America Inc., introduced "U-Scan Mini Express." The new system used RFID technology to allow shoppers to scan their products quickly and easily. The new system automatically scans products placed in the basket within seconds without having to remove them individually.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed the dynamics of self-checkout systems. A temporary shutdown in stores, transportation, and production owing to government restrictions for controlling the spread of COVID-19 negatively impacted the market growth in the short term. However, the self-checkout systems industry is expected to witness growth with the reopening of transportation and manufacturing activities. In 2020, a change in the retail store format was observed worldwide due to the changing consumer attitude toward e-commerce or online shopping and increasing competition.
