Self-checkout technology continues to grow in significance at North American retailers, according to a new study by IHL Group.

The 2012 North American Kiosk study finds that self-checkout shipments are increasing 8 percent year-to-year, with self-checkout transactions exceeding $255 billion annually in North America.

Transactions at self-service kiosks are growing more than 7 percent per year in North America, and are expected to exceed $1 trillion by 2014.

The study tracks the shipments, installed base and revenue turn-through of kiosks in six different categories: self-checkout, ticketing, check-in, postal, food ordering and DVD/other kiosks.
