A barcode scanner is an electronic device used to read information encrypted in the form of coded bar lines on the computer. Generally, it is used to capture the information marked on the product. In general, all barcode readers have circuitry analyzing provided by sensors. Barcode scanners consist of a light source and sensors that capture the encrypted information. 2D barcode scanners are the most popular and fast-moving barcode scanners in the market. Different technologies are used in barcode scanners including laser scanners, pent-type scanners, camera-based readers, and charge-coupled devices (CCD).

Market Dynamics

Barcode scanners are being increasingly used in different aspects of the healthcare industry. With barcode scanners, tracking exact patient records has become sophisticated with the rectification of every possible error and reducing drug-related mistakes during a patient's hospital stay. Moreover, according to IMNA, around 51% of medication errors can be rectified using barcode scanners technology. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there is a National Drug Code, which is a 10 digit identification number issued to every drug so that the related drug information can be easily captured and stored. Thus, these factors are expected to drive growth of the global barcode scanners market during the forecast period. Barcode scanners are being rapidly adopted in retail and manufacturing industries. It has become one of the best solutions for product information capturing. Barcode imprinted on labels help to record information regarding product count, date of manufacturing, date of expiry for perishable products, selling price, date on which the product was supplied to retailer, etc. Major retailers such as Walmart, Costco, Carrefour, and IKEA put barcodes on all their products. This, in turn, is expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period.
