Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ksfhd8/global_pos) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International POS Software Market - Forecasts to 2016" report to their offering.

One of the main trends witnessed in the Global POS Software market is the stringent regulations for secure payments. In the Americas and the EMEA region, the governments of various countries have introduced stringent regulations with respect to secure payments. The governments in developed countries have imposed a rule for recertification of electronic payment systems employed by the merchants/retailers.

With respect to the electronic systems employed by retailers that connect to payment networks, the certification of products and services offered should be obtained from financial institutions, card associations, and payment processors. These certifications have to comply with the government and telecom regulations in various countries. In this case, a majority of retailers will have to change/upgrade their existing POS software to help them obtain this certification. As a result, the Global POS Software market is expected to witness a drastic growth especially in the Americas and the EMEA region.

One of the main factors driving the market is the increasing usage of credit and debit cards. Customers across the globe are increasingly using standard payment cards for their purchases. In addition, a vast majority of these cards, especially those in the EMEA region, are EMV-based.
