COVID-19 IMPACT

Reduced Shopping Through Offline Channels Affected Technology Demand

The COVID-19 pandemic drastically affected the wearable barcode scanner market growth due to supply chain disruptions and shortage in raw materials was also observed. Shortage of labor and strict protocols such as lockdowns and restrictions on movement created roadblocks, disruptions in end-use sectors of the product led to lower demand. Lockdown restrictions and reduced shopping through offline channels such as retail stores, grocery outlets, supermarkets, hypermarkets, and others led to a weakened demand, impacting the market outlook.

LATEST TRENDS

Increasing use of the Technology in Different Sectors to Push the Market Growth

When it comes to tracking and recording product information, barcoding has become standard. High-end barcode scanners have been embraced in North America by a variety of businesses. These scanners include stationary, omnidirectional, cordless, robust, and tough scanners. When compared to other technologies used, the growth rate of barcode scanner technologies like CCD and pen type readers is slower. The creation of specialized barcode scanners for particular uses, such as barcode scanners for use with entry tickets for amusement parks and hospitals, is another trend.

Recently, Honeywell revealed new products including the Xenon XP and Voyager XP that have housing that is suitable for disinfectants. These scanners can readily read even the most challenging or damaged barcodes. Similar product launches will work in favor of the wearable barcode scanner market share in the coming years.
