Segment Analysis

The global barcode scanner market has been segmented into product type, end use, and technology.

On the basis of product type, the market is segmented into Portable/Handheld and Fixed Position. The portable/handheld segment was attributed to holding the largest market share in 2022. One of the key drivers of the portable barcode scanner market's expansion is the electronics industry's ongoing trend of shrinking, which is being accompanied by rising smartphone sales and increased use of wireless communication technologies. In the corporate sector, scanning documents, business cards, and receipts with wireless portable barcode scanners is becoming more and more essential.

Based on end use, the global barcode scanner market has been segmented into Retail & Commercial, General Manufacturing, Healthcare, Logistics & Warehouse, Commercial Aviation, Defence, and Others. The retail & commercial segment was expected to hold the largest market share in 2022. Barcode scanner usage is expanding quickly in the manufacturing and retail sectors. One of the greatest options for gathering product information these days is a barcode scanner. Barcodes are used by retailers all over the world to easily record goods and supplies. Products have barcodes applied to labels that aid in keeping track of data such as the quantity of items produced, the date of manufacture, the date the product was delivered to the merchant, the selling price, etc.

Based on technology, the global barcode scanner market has been segmented into Pen Type Reader, Laser Scanner, CCD (Charge Coupled Device) Readers, Camera Based Reader, Omni Directional Barcode Scanner, Smartphone Based Scanner, and RFID. The Camera Based Reader segment was expected to hold the largest market share in 2022 due to the manufacturing, retail, e-commerce, and consumer products industries' increasing need for and acceptance of camera-based readers. With the application of decoding algorithms, camera-based barcode scanners are able to decipher complex data from images of 1D or 2D barcodes. The increasing global number of mobile users is a major factor driving this segment's revenue development.
