Rugged barcode handheld terminal scanner development of industry status in 2021. Rugged barcode handheld terminal scanner sales will continue to increase.
According to the application division, barcode scanner handheld terminal can be divided into commercial application of barcode scanner (including handheld barcode scanner, stationary POS scanner) and industrial production application of barcode scanner (industrial scanner).According to the data, the three categories of barcode reading devices — handheld barcode scanners, stationary POS scanners and stationary industrial scanners — will generate a combined global sales of $1.616 billion in 2019. In 2019, the total global sales of barcode reading devices will grow to $2.021 billion, with an average annual compound growth rate of 4.57%.
The further popularization of QR code and barcode promotes the steady expansion of the market of handheld barcode scanner. Handheld terminal barcode scanner is a kind of barcode reading device with the largest demand in the market. The handheld terminal scanner is used to scan the barcode actively. It has the advantages of low distribution cost, simple installation and flexible use, and is widely used in retail, finance, postal, warehousing and logistics and other fields. Global sales of handheld terminal barcode scanners totaled $1.164 billion in 2019, with an average annual compound growth rate of about 4.30 percent. Among them, with the popularity of the application of two-dimensional code and the increase in the frequency of the use of barcode in smart terminal devices such as mobile phones, the market demand for handheld laser scanners will gradually decline and be replaced by scanning devices based on image scanning technology (especially planar array image scanning technology).Therefore, in the future, handheld planar array imaging scanners will gradually become the mainstream, reaching a market size of us $692 million in 2019, with an average annual compound growth rate of 9.2%.
Domestic and foreign POS machine growth to maintain a sustained and stable situation. Stationary POS scanning includes POS scanning platform, large double-window POS scanning platform and small desk scanner, mainly used in large supermarkets, department stores and other retail areas. This type of scanner is hands-free and fixed, which has the advantages of fast speed, high pass rate and convenient operation compared with handheld terminal barcode scanner.At present, the commercial application of barcode scanner is mainly used for financial, commercial, tax and other scenarios. Benefiting from the sustained development of domestic macro economy, the output of POS machines for financial, commercial and tax applications in China increased from 337,804 in 2008 to 14,580,170 in 2019, with an average annual compound growth rate of 51.94%.Overseas, the number of POS machines in major foreign countries increased from 3.65 million in 2000 to 7.8 million in 2019, with an average annual compound growth rate of 5.58%.
Driven by the automation wave of global industrial manufacturing industry, stationary industrial scanners have become the fastest growing field of barcode reading equipment.Industrial handheld barcode scanners are mainly aimed at industrial areas with severe environment, which have higher requirements for identification speed, accuracy and durability.
