The evolution of industry 4.0 in the manufacturing industry is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the high cost of industrial barcode scanners may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The evolution of industry 4.0 is one of the factors driving the industrial barcode scanner market growth. Barcode scanners are primarily used to improve the productivity and efficiency of workers within the ecosystem. Industry 4.0 is the fourth industrial revolution in the manufacturing industry. The connected ecosystem using the IoT will be instrumental in helping manufacturers and consumers provide improved communication and monitoring systems and increased automation, along with self-diagnosis and new levels of analysis, for a productive future.
Furthermore, Industry 4.0 is the current transformation of industries characterized by data exchange, automation, cloud, cyber-physical systems, robots, big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and (semi-)autonomous technologies. Therefore, the barcode scanner market is expected to see accelerating demand due to the emergence of Industry 4.0 during the forecast period.
The use of wearables with the same functionalities as traditional barcode scanners is one of the key industrial barcode scanner market trends fueling the market growth. Manufacturers are increasingly deploying advanced devices to reduce human error and increase efficiency. For example, data glasses have additional features such as the barcode and QR code scanning functionality. The Vuzix M100 smart glasses can scan QR codes and barcodes. However, the distance between the camera and the barcode poses a challenge.
Hence, with camera-based scanning devices, such as smart glasses, it becomes a challenge to ensure that the barcodes are in the line of sight of the device so that they can be decoded by the onboard computer vision algorithm. With improvements in barcode formats such as linear and laser, smart glasses could replace traditional wearable scanners in the next few years. Such factors will increase the market growth during the forecast period.
The high cost of industrial barcode scanners is one of the factors hampering the industrial barcode scanner market growth. The market for industrial barcode scanners is in a growth stage, characterized by increasing sales and decreasing the cost per customer. However, due to the high cost of barcode scanners, they are not widely adopted in all industries. It will be some time before these devices reach consumer-friendly prices and become widely used across the industry. General-purpose barcode scanners usually cost less than industrial barcode scanners. For instance, Honeywell Voyager XP 1470g offered by Honeywell costs approximately $200 compared with an industrial barcode scanner that costs over $600.
Moreover, the high cost of industrial barcode scanners hinders their adoption among industries. In addition, with the adoption of industrial wearables, end-users will be faced with the challenge of quantifying the return on investment (ROI). The increased cost of implementation and procurement and the high ROI associated with smart, innovative products are expected to hinder the growth of industrial wearable scanners during the forecast period.
The report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.
