2D Barcode Reader Market Size Report and Growth Analysis 2028

[Research Report] The 2D barcode reader market is projected to reach US$ 12,708.70 million by 2028 from US$ 8,373.12 million in 2023. it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.7% during 2023–2028.

Factory automation is the implementation of technologies and machines to automate manufacturing processes in order to increase production output and reduce labor costs. It also helps improve the quality of the products by minimizing the risk of human error. Hence, market players are increasingly adopting factory automation which is consider a 2D barcode reader market trend. For instance, in April 2023, Laminar, an automotive technology company, started its operations from the newly developed automated factory. The automation in the factory will help increase the volume of the production units of the sensors. In addition, in November 2022, an electric vehicle (EV) startup, "Weber Drivetrain," opened an automated facility in Pune, India, to produce EV parts. The facility consists of semi-robots and machinery. Such instances will encourage other market players to boost their production output by automating their facilities. Automated factories are increasingly using 2D barcode readers to enhance product tracking and identification. These readers provide accurate product information compared to manual product tracking. They further increase the speed of production output and track information about a product's manufacturing dates and batch number with the help of the product's unique code. This information helps the operator better manage the business processes by providing constant access to the product’s real-time information. Therefore, the rise in factory automation is expected to be a 2D barcode reader market trend during the forecast period.

The US, Canada, and Mexico are among the key countries in North America. The continuously evolving manufacturing industry remains the major factor driving prosperity, jobs, and innovation, as the region is a hub for technological development. In January 2021, US President announced the plan to strengthen the manufacturing sector in the US under the “Made in America” initiative, which focused on establishing technologically advanced and automated manufacturing sectors. Under this initiative, an investment of US$ 300 billion was made for the R&D and inclusion of advanced technologies to boost the country's production output. These technological advancements and automation can act as a catalyst for the US economy. Therefore, the rise in automation in the manufacturing sector in the region is expected to increase the demand for 2D barcode readers, along with a surge in the use of machines and systems to replace manual tasks. A 2D barcode reader helps track the product's information through the manufacturing process, which propels its demand in the manufacturing sector and fuels the 2D barcode reader market growth in North America.

The COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted the e-commerce sector across the globe. During the COVID-19 outbreak, due to a surge in online shopping platforms, e-commerce sales in the US and Canada witnessed significant growth in 2020. In the same year, shoppers shifted to online platforms to purchase different types of products, such as health & hygiene products, medicines, and hand sanitizers. Therefore, the demand for 2D barcode scanners increased in e-commerce as barcodes are used in shipping and sorting systems. The pandemic caused dynamic growth in e-commerce across countries such as the US and Canada, and it has increased the production of 2D barcode readers in e-commerce. In several countries, e-commerce transactions have partially shifted from scanning luxury products to daily necessities. Hence, the applications of 2D barcode readers have increased. This has helped the 2D barcode reader market growth further.
