Spain POS Terminal Market – 2025
Unlike most other key EMEA countries, the Spanish retail market is dominated by smaller, regional players rather than large national chains. This regional diversity has allowed for the preservation of traditional retail formats, such as family-owned neighborhood stores and open-air markets, which continue to thrive alongside the rise of modern retail formats. As a result, the Spain POS terminal market is less mature than it might otherwise be.
