Barcode Printer Market Growth & Trends
The global barcode printer market size is estimated treach USD 7,521.7 million by 2030, registering tgrow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2025 t2030 according ta new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Barcode printers are alscalled specialty printers that print barcode tags, receipts, and labels tbe directly printed on or attached tphysical objects. They are generally used tlabel cartons, receipts, and label retail, medical, and food items with European Article Numbers (EANs) or Universal Product Codes (UPCs) before shipment.
Moreover, the market is experiencing rapid advancements in technology. These advancements are leading tthe introduction of more efficient and user-friendly barcode printers. For instance, the latest barcode printers can print on a variety of substrates, such as paper, plastic, metal, and wood. This helps reduce production costs and improve the quality of the final product.
The market is projected tbe driven by the rising demand for industrial printers across various industrial sectors. The growing adoption of barcode printers owing ttheir ability tstreamline logistics operations is driving the growth. While barcode printers are providing an efficient way tmonitor products during their movement along the supply chain, they are alshelping in storing IoT numbers and serial numbers thandle the information while the product moves through different channels, thereby encouraging the adoption of barcode printers.
Several manufacturing entities are adopting modern printing technologies trake in various benefits, such as simplified workflows, reduced prices, and increased quality assurance, thereby driving the adoption of barcode printers across the globe. Market players are responding tthe situation by introducing innovative solutions in line with the evolving demands from the incumbents of various end-use industries and industry verticals. Moreover, the growing demand for packaged food in countries such as China and India is particularly expected tfuel the demand for barcode printers over the forecast period.
Aggressive investments by the government tencourage the industry incumbents tadopt the latest technologies, including barcode technology, bode well for market growth. Barcode technology is increasingly being used for robotics, which means the continued implementation of robots across various industries translates inta growing demand for barcode printers. For instance, as per the statistics provided by the International Federation of Robotics (FIR), almost 21,700 industrial robots have been deployed across the industrial sector in the U.K.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus across the globe took a severe toll on the global economy. However, it played a significant role in fueling the growth of the barcode printer industry. While the launch and distribution of several products had tbe deferred owing tthe lockdowns and restrictions on the movement of people and goods executed as part of the efforts tarrest the spread of coronavirus, the installation of barcode systems gained noticeable traction in the manufacturing industry, where barcodes were installed tmaintain social distancing without compromising the efficiency of the inventory management.
The market is consolidated and is anticipated twitness increased competition due tthe presence of several key players. In January 2023, AVERY DENNISON CORPORATION signed an agreement tacquire Thermopatch, expanding its Retail Branding as well as Information Solutions (RBIS) Apparel Solutions division. Additionally, leverage Thermopatch's know-how and services tdrive growth in external embellishments.
