This also helps the retail product or service providers to avoid handling cumbersome cash. Further, it helps the customers to reduce their shopping time and the retailer to reduce its billing time per customer. Another key driver is the enhancement of customer satisfaction through the provision of convenient services. One of the major trends is the increasing usage of M2M solutions for retail store security. The installation and usage of M2M solutions for retail store security is an emerging trend in the Global M2M market in the Retail industry.

The combination of trends and drivers is expected to propel the growth of the Global M2M market in the Retail industry during the forecast period. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the difficulty in integrating M2M devices. Integrating M2M devices with cellular M2M technology is one of the major challenges faced by M2M vendors. This is mainly because such integration requires the redesigning of devices. For example, for a wireless M2M integrated solution, TCP/IP stack and application software is required in a remote device. Other key challenges for the market vendors are poor network coverage and safety and data privacy concerns. Key vendors dominating this space are - AT&T Inc. - Rogers Communication Inc. - Verizon Communications Inc. - Vodafone Group plc.
