BLE Beacons Market Trends
-
The rising integration of advanced communication technologies is driving market growth.
Market CAGR for BLE beacons is driven by the growing adoption of advanced communication technologies, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID (radio-frequency identification), NFC (near-field communication), and the rising popularity of lot technology. Also, growing demand for Beacon based on advanced Bluetooth technology, such as Bluetooth 5.2, Bluetooth 5, and Bluetooth 4, from numerous industries such as transportation and logistics, entertainment and others are expected to boost the adoption of Beacon.
Additionally, the increasing adoption of BLE beacon devices in proximity marketing is expected to drive the growth of the global BLE beacon market revenue during the forecast period. Proximity marketing is a type of marketing that utilizes technology such as BLE beacon appliances to target nearby smartphone devices to showcase appropriate advertisements to the user. For instance, if the utilizers search for a particular product on the internet using a smartphone and walk into an offline store, the BLE beacon device can efficiently connect to that person's smartphone utilizing Bluetooth connectivity and offer relative information about the product on the smartphone. The global proximity market is rapidly growing across the globe.
The growing need for spatial data, which can be utilized to analyze the current demographic trend, is driving the growth of the market in various applications. One of the most widespread usages of beacon technology in higher education is the expedition of administrative tasks, such as attendance monitoring. Attendance monitoring via beacons increases efficiency and saves time. It also replaces a physical attendance sheet with spatially and automatically detected attendance information. Also, increasing globalization and demand from the automobile sector will emerge as key market development drivers. Increasing emphasis on business intelligence to achieve a competitive edge, increased usage of spatial data in analytics, rising demand for smart beacons for indoor navigation, and expanding industrialization contribute to the market's growth.
Moreover, market players focus highly on business intelligence to gain competitive advantages. For instance, in October 2022, ZPE Systems launched a smartphone-sized cloud gateway for IoT, OT, and IoMD applications. Nodegrid MiniSR is displayed with Environmental Monitoring Sensor, Alert Beacons, and iPhone for scale. The Mini SR supports wired and wireless connection, hosting third-party security software, key tools, and centralized cloud orchestration.
