The RFID and barcode printer market is expected to be valued at USD 4.81 Billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% between 2017 and 2022. Some of the factors driving the growth of this market include demand to improve inventory management; rising e-commerce industry and need for eliminating human errors. The market has been segmented on the basis of type, technology, printing resolution, industry, and geography.
The RFID and barcode printer market for the retail industry is expected to grow at the fastest rate between 2017 and 2022. The barcode labels and tags have been increasingly adopted in the retail sector, which has become the standard for labeling, tracking, and storing the information about the product. This information is later retrieved through scanners that provide the retailers about the count of the product on the floor and inventory as well as providing the cashiers information about the product.
Thermal transfer technology held the largest share of the RFID and barcode printer market for printing technology in 2017. The market for thermal transfer technology is expected to witness a moderate growth during the forecast period as this technology provides high-quality and long-lasting labels and tags in many different colors. The market is driven by the rising demand for printers using thermal transfer technology deployed in industries such as education and entertainment for printing books, magazines, brochures, cards, posters, and so on.
The RFID and barcode printer market for the printing resolution below 300 dpi is expected to grow at a high rate between 2017 and 2022. The printers with the resolution below 300 dpi are in demand due to growing need for barcodes and RFID tags on ID cards, wrist bands, products in retail, healthcare, education, government industries. Moreover, lower resolution images appear fuzzy, jagged, and blur, so resolution of 300 dpi is used for crisp, clear results. These factors drive the growth of the market during forecast period.
The market for desktop RFID and barcode printers would grow at a considerable rate between 2017 and 2022. The barcode desktop printers are being deployed any mid-volume industry and keep operations running smoothly for the better efficiency and productivity. The RFID and barcode desktop printers are used to print item labels, instruction labels, agency labels in manufacturing and warehousing. For patient identification, pharmacy, specimen identification, parcel post, shipping/receiving labels, and small office in the healthcare industry; and for price tags, shelf labels, jewelry tags in the retail industry. The increasing demand for all these applications would drive the need for RFID and barcode desktop printer market.
APAC is expected to be the fastest-growing market for RFID and barcode printers. China holds the largest share of the RFID and barcode printer market in APAC; the market in China is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period. China is a developing economy and the increasing adoption of barcode and RFID printers in industries such as retail, healthcare, inventory management, textiles, and logistics is driving the production printer market in China. China's printing sector has maintained steady growth, which is expected to drive the barcode and RFID printer in this region. Companies such as Postek Electronics Co. Ltd. (China), and Dascom Printer (Jiangmen) Co. Ltd. (China), have their presence in this country and serve globally to many industries. Postek Electronics Co., Ltd. mainly focuses on the manufacturing of printers with thermal transfer printing technology deployed in many industries.
One of the key restraining factors for the growth of the RFID and barcode printer market is the poor printing quality of barcode and RFID labels. Barcode scanning problem may also occur if the barcode is printed on the torn section of packaging or may have smeared, smudged, or damaged. Also if the corresponding numeric code is also illegible due to damage, the checkout process can be significantly delayed.
The key market players such as are Zebra Technologies Corporation(US) , Honeywell International Inc. (US) , Toshiba TEC Corporation (Japan), Sato Holdings Corporation (Japan), TSC Auto ID Technology Co., Ltd (Taiwan) are focusing on new product launches and developments, acquisitions, and collaborations to enhance their product offerings and expand their businesses.
