Increasing Applications in Healthcare and Education Sectors to Favor BLE Beacons Market

Pune, India, May 2020, MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has published a Half-Cooked Research Report on the Global BLE Beacons Market.

Market Dynamics

Market Research Future (MRFR) anticipates that the BLE beacons market in 2024 could potentially touch a valuation of 12021.0 Billion by 2032. Between 2024 and 2032, the worldwide market can progress at a striking rate of 25.98% adding MRFR. We will provide a COVID-19 impact analysis with the report.

Key Boosters and Main Barriers

MRFR offers an exhaustive impact analysis on COVID-19, stating that in a space of only a few months, the semiconductor industry has been severely impacted due to the economic downfall. The long-term impact of COVID-19 has also been assessed and the key takeaway is that the overall semiconductor industry and in turn, the BLE beacons market can remain profitable since several companies are working from home for the continued running of their operations during the lockdown period. The expanding population of people working from home has resulted in a spike in the demand for online video downloading as well as viewing and communication via video conferencing, all of which has boosted the use of network traffic and data. Although the short-term impact is deemed to be slightly problematic, the Bluetooth low energy beacons market can emerge sturdier in the upcoming years. In a nutshell, the rampant demand for BLE beacons in line with the mounting use of tablets and laptops can create attractive opportunities for the market.

The market growth is also result of the surge in the applications that are powered by the BLE beacons technology. These beacons are observing rising penetration across equipment status observation and asset tracking in large-scale volume sectors. Simultaneously, the existing market and the new applications are developed, resulting in bigger roll-outs. The increasing integration of BLE beacons in LED lightings, cameras, digital signage, vending machines and point of sale (POS) devices, can also induce industry growth in the preceding years. In addition to retail applications, BLE beacons are emerging as essential commodities in the industrial sector.

Assets that are based on RFID, people flow tracking systems and Wi-Fi currently account for substantial revenue share in the intra-logistics and healthcare industries. However, the affordability of BLE beacons is instrumental in their widespread adoption in multiple domains like worker security, indoor navigation, affordable asset tracking, elderly care, to name a few. BLE beacons are expected to be a bit hit in the healthcare sector in the years to come, following the mounting need to streamline operations to facilitate customized services according to the patient’s history.
