The rising number of digital transactions in most of the countries in the Americas is one of the biggest factors responsible for the surge in the usage for self-checkout systems in the region. Most of the countries in the region are rapidly shifting toward cashless transactions and economy. For instance, 90% of the population in Canada owned credit cards in 2018. Moreover, the country observed a growth of 7% and 9% in the usage of debit cards and in the total value of the transactions made through debit cards, respectively, from 2016 to 2017.

Moreover, the companies recorded a rise of around 16% in unfilled jobs from 2017 to 2018.
