The global handheld barcode scanner market size was USD 1364.8 million in 2021 & the market is projected to touch USD 2188.86 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.84% during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with handheld barcode scanner experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

An electrical device known as a barcode scanner decrypts the data from the barcode or scans printed barcodes and delivers the decrypted data to a computer or other centralized network. It has a source of lens, light, and optical sensors that transform optical signals into electrical signals. The decoder circuit included in barcode scanners can evaluate the barcode image data provided by the sensor and transfer it to the scanner's output port. Along with CCD and laser scanners, 2-dimensional barcode scanners are the most widely used product in the international barcode scanner market. Retailers and manufacturers use barcode scanners to record product costs, manufacturing and delivery dates, and other information.

A handheld barcode scanner is portable and does the same work as an electrical scanner. Retailers worldwide use barcode scanners to make tracking supplies and goods easier. Data such as manufacturing date, product count, delivery date to the retailer, and product cost inscribed in the form of a barcode on the product's packaging are processed using barcode scanners. These elements contribute to the expansion of the global handheld barcode scanner market growth.

COVID-19 Impact: Disruption in Supply Chain Hampered Growth of the Market

Three main implications of COVID-19 on the world economy are their direct effects on supply and demand, supply chain disruption, and market disruption, as well as their economic effects on companies and financial markets.
