Global Wearable Scanner Market 2016-2020

#Snapshot img { margin: 10px !important; } Global outlook of the wearable scanner marketMarket research analysts at Technavio have predicted that the global wearable scanner market will grow steadily at a CAGR of about 4% by 2020. This market research analysis identifies the increased use of 2D barcodes like QR, Data Matrix, and PDF417 in industries such as transportation and logistics, retail, and healthcare as one of the primary factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of this market. QR codes or 2D codes can hold information both vertically and horizontally, thereby making it easy for barcode readers to get encrypted information at both the angles. A QR code can carry almost ten times more information than a 1D barcode and also allows industries to include a logo or picture to identify the product in a better way. PDF417 barcodes are primarily used in the transportation and healthcare sectors, whereas data matrix barcodes are used to mark small items and are used in the retail sector. 2D barcodes are durable, versatile, and less error-prone than 1D barcodes and also allow wearable barcode scanners to access data even when 30%-35% of the data areas are damaged.Walmart, one of the major retailers announced its plans to open several new retail outlets in Africa and another major retailer Carrefour has formed a joint venture with a brand distribution company CFAO, to expand its operations in eight countries including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, and Nigeria. Additionally, other major retailers such as Metro and Tesco have also started focusing on expanding their presence in Africa and APAC. Since the retail sector is a major end-user for inventory scanning systems, this worldwide increase in the number of retail outlets will propel the demand for the market in the next four years.Competitive landscape and key vendorsOwing to the presence of numerous large and small scale vendors, this market appears highly fragmented. The market is facing consolidation due to the increase in competition among vendors. To gain a competitive edge and capture a significant share of the market, large global vendors have started exponentially increasing investments in their R&D divisions to expand their product portfolios. This will enable them to provide better functionality and meet consumer requirements. As a result, vendors with strong brand identity will dominate the market during the forecast period and less prominent vendors will have the need to market their products aggressively to acquire more customers.The leading vendors in the market are -GeneralscanHoneywellShenzhen Unique ElectronicZebraRIOTECEurotechSegmentation by technology and analysis of the wearable scanner market2D imagerLinear imagerLaser scannerDuring 2015, the 2D imager segment accounted for more than 45% of the total market share. These imagers were initially considered only for niche markets. They can read both 2D images like QR codes and Data Matrix as well as 1D barcodes and soon found significance in various sectors. The use of 2D images will continue to increase in the coming years, which in turn will augment the growth of this segment.Geographical segmentation and analysis of the wearable scanner marketAmericasAPACEMEAThis market study estimates that the Americas will account for about 44% of the global wearable scanner market by 2020 and dominate this market throughout the forecast period. The introduction of barcode scanners in the warehousing and storage as well as hospitality and entertainment industries will fuel market growth in this region. Additionally, industries such as transportation and logistics, healthcare, and retail will also account for the demand for wearable inventory scanning systems in the coming years.Key questions answered in the report includeWhat will the market size and the growth rate be in 2020?What are the key factors driving the wearable scanner market?What are the key market trends impacting the growth of the wearable scanner market?What are the challenges to market growth?Who are the key vendors in the wearable scanner market?What are the market opportunities and threats faced by the vendors in the wearable scanner market?Trending factors influencing the market shares of the Americas, APAC, and EMEA.What are the key outcomes of the five forces analysis of the wearable scanner market?Technavio also offers customization on reports based on specific client requirement.Related reportsGlobal Classroom Wearables Technology Market 2016-2020 Global Smart Wearable Healthcare Devices and Services Market 2015-2019

全球可穿戴扫描仪市场概览
Technavio市场研究分析师预测，至2020年，全球可穿戴扫描仪市场将保持稳定增长，年复合增长率约为4%。本研究分析指出，在交通运输、物流、零售和医疗等行业中，2D条码（如QR码、Data Matrix和PDF417）的广泛应用将成为推动该市场增长的主要因素之一。QR码或二维条码可垂直和水平存储信息，从而使得条码读取器能够从两个角度获取加密信息。相较于一维条码，QR码几乎可以携带十倍多的信息，并允许行业在产品标识方面加入标志或图片，以更佳的方式识别产品。PDF417条码主要应用于交通运输和医疗保健领域，而数据矩阵条码则用于标记小型物品，并在零售行业得到应用。相较于一维条码，二维条码具有更高的耐用性、多功能性和更低的错误率，并允许可穿戴条码扫描仪在数据区域损坏30%-35%的情况下仍能访问数据。沃尔玛等主要零售商宣布计划在非洲开设多个新零售店，而另一家主要零售商家乐福则与品牌分销公司CFAO成立了合资企业，以扩大其在刚果民主共和国、科特迪瓦和尼日利亚等八个国家的业务。此外，其他主要零售商如家乐福和特易购也开始专注于在非洲和亚太地区扩大其业务范围。鉴于零售行业是库存扫描系统的主要终端用户，全球零售店数量的这一全球性增长将在未来四年内推动市场需求的增长。
市场竞争格局与主要供应商
由于众多大中型供应商的存在，该市场呈现出高度碎片化的特征。市场竞争的加剧导致市场面临整合。为了获得竞争优势并占领市场份额，大型全球供应商开始指数级增加其研发部门的投入，以扩大产品组合。这将使他们能够提供更优的功能并满足消费者需求。因此，在预测期内，具有强大品牌识别度的供应商将主导市场，而较不显眼的供应商则需要积极营销其产品以吸引更多客户。市场上的主要供应商包括Generalscan、Honeywell、深圳唯特电子、Zebra、RIOTEC、Eurotech等。
可穿戴扫描仪市场按技术和细分分析
2D成像仪、线性成像仪、激光扫描仪
在2015年，2D成像仪市场占比超过45%的总市场份额。这些成像仪最初仅被视为针对利基市场。它们可以读取2D图像（如QR码和数据矩阵）以及一维条码，并很快在各个领域显示出其重要性。预计在未来几年中，2D图像的使用将继续增加，这将进而推动该细分市场的增长。
可穿戴扫描仪市场按地理细分和分析
美洲、亚太、中东和非洲
本市场研究估计，至2020年，美洲将占据全球可穿戴扫描仪市场约44%的份额，并在预测期内主导该市场。该地区仓储和存储、酒店和娱乐业引入条码扫描器将推动市场增长。此外，交通运输和物流、医疗保健和零售等行业也将在未来几年对可穿戴库存扫描系统的需求作出贡献。
