Future Market Insights (FMI) in its latest report titled “Barcode Scanner Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment, 2021–2031” reveals that the use of barcode technology is rapidly rising in both retail and manufacturing industries. Barcode scanners have become one of the best solutions for recording product information without making any major manual effort.

Currently, barcode solutions are being used across various domains owing to their exponential capabilities in systematically recording information such as product count, date of manufacturing, the date on which the product was supplied to the retailer, and selling price. Moreover, the emergence of e-commerce and intra-regional markets that offer specialised services to a wide range of sectors has further expanded its application base.

The technological advantages and cutting-edge features of barcode scanners are also making them popular in the healthcare industry. Barcode technology can help rectify medication errors, and medical practitioners and physicians can easily get information about medicines as well as their manufacturing dates.

The global barcode scanner market is estimated to be worth US$7.6 billion in 2021, according to FMI. The market is expected to register robust growth on the backdrop of healthy demand from retail, e-commerce and logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors.

The advent of barcode technology has greatly reduced the hassles of tracking supply and commodity sales records for retailers across the globe. Over the years, technology has been consistently improved and made more efficient.

Additional highlights of the report include:

The laser-based scanner is expected to remain the prime technology. Laser scanners are widely used in regions with established manufacturing and retail sectors, such as Western Europe and North America. By 2021-end, laser scanners are estimated to account for 32.3% revenue share of the market and will continue to be the most preferred barcode reader technology throughout the assessment period.

However, the camera-based reader is anticipated to see fast adoption as these scanners are innovative and configured with advanced 2D imaging technology. Based on product type, portable/handheld scanners are expected to remain the top choice of barcode scanners amongst consumers over the forecast period.

Owing to characteristics such as faster print speeds and versatility, demand for portable/handheld barcode scanners is rapidly increasing in various parts of the world. The use of barcode scanners in the retail and commercial sectors continues to be the highest and is expected to account for a major chunk of revenue over the forecast period. Meanwhile, the healthcare industry is swiftly adopting barcode technology as well.
