Handheld Devices to Lead as their Use in Daily Operations Rise

Of the three key components of a typical IT solution for QSRs, the hardware segment is the largest contributor to the overall revenue of the U.S. QSR IT market. The segment contributed about US$ 1,994.64 mn to the market’s overall revenues in 2015. Products such as digital signage systems, point of sale, digital menu cards, handheld devices, kiosks, and drive-through terminals come under the purview of this segment. Of these, the segment of digital signage systems accounted for a nearly 34% share in the market in 2015, followed by the segment of point of sale hardware with a 21% share. The high initial costs of digital signage contributed prominently to the growth in the market’s revenues owing to the increased adoption of these products.

However, the segment of handheld devices, which are being increasingly used across numerous operations in restaurants, is expected to witness growth at the fastest pace in the market. From 2016 to 2024, the segment is expected to expand at a 10.5% CAGR.

Cost-sensitive Small-sized QSRs Drive Demand for Economic Solutions

The market features a high level of fragmentation and intense competitive rivalry. In 2015, the top five companies accounted for a share of mere 25% in the overall market. The presence of a large number of software providers in the market has positioned buyers at a commanding position. However, base installation costs, post installation maintenance costs, high costs of hardware products, and upgradation costs still make digitization a costly affair and hinders its expansion across small-sized QSRs in the U.S.

To overcome this challenge and expand their consumer base, vendors in the market are focusing on offering economic and customizable solutions that can make use of pre-existing IT infrastructure. Cloud-based solutions and extended financing and warranty options in collaboration with financial institutions are also being offered by a large number of companies in the market to appeal to this group of end user.

Some of the prominent vendors in the market are NCR Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, HM Electronics, Inc., PAR Technology Corporation, NEC Display Solutions of America, Inc., Oracle Corporation, and Revel Systems, Inc.
