The global market for 2D barcode readers is expected to experience significant growth, primarily driven by the increasing use of barcode scanners in digital shopping and the rapid expansion of the e-commerce and logistics sectors. Various industries, including retail, manufacturing, and industrial, rely on barcodes to accurately track and manage inventory, individual products, or batches of products. In order to decode and interpret the data stored in barcodes, a scanner is essential. Barcode scanners play a crucial role in ensuring robust inventory control management and improving the efficiency, speed, and accuracy of businesses.
There are several drivers contributing to the growth of the 2D barcode reader market. Firstly, businesses are striving to reduce error rates and enhance operational efficiency, which can be achieved through the use of barcode scanners. Additionally, the proliferation of barcode scanners in digital shopping has created a demand for these devices. Furthermore, the remarkable expansion of the e-commerce and logistics sectors has further fueled the market growth.
However, there are also restraints that need to be considered. The development of smartphone-based applications for scanning barcodes poses a challenge to the market. These applications provide an alternative method for barcode scanning, potentially reducing the demand for handheld 2D barcode readers.
The handheld 2D barcode reader, also known as the gun type reader, is estimated to reach a market value of USD 5.3 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the advantages offered by handheld readers, such as mobility and operational flexibility, compared to fixed barcode readers. Handheld readers are designed like handguns, featuring a grip and trigger, enabling easy scanning of products that cannot be lifted. They are smaller and lighter in weight, making them portable within a facility.
In the warehousing application market, the 2D barcode reader segment is estimated to reach a value of USD 3.2 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. Businesses are heavily investing in enhancing their storage facilities and adopting lean operations. The warehousing process involves transportation of goods from suppliers or production units to warehouses, recording and storing them at designated locations, and retrieving them for repackaging and shipment. All these processes require data entry at various stages, and barcode technology proves to be cost-effective and efficient for tracking and identifying products across warehouses.
Barcodes have found widespread use across various industries, including marketing, advertising, food services, electronics, automotive, engineering, healthcare, manufacturing, warehousing, aerospace, and telecommunications. The digitization of the retail market, particularly in India and China, presents numerous growth opportunities for the 2D barcode reader market.
In North America, the market for 2D barcode readers is estimated to reach USD 2.9 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period.
