Mobile computers
“Mobile computers are the most popular offering of the barcode scanners market, generating over 56% of the overall revenue. From tracking inventory to supporting field technicians, mobile computers can increase the efficiency and productivity of any business, leading to their increasing adoption,” says Chetan Mohan, a lead analyst at Technavio for embedded systems research.

The introduction of multipurpose mobile computers and their increasing demand in the global market has resulted in the growth of the barcode scanners market.
Handheld barcode scanners
Handheld barcode scanners are utilized to make optimal resource utilization through asset tracking and inventory management. These portable barcode scanners are lightweight and compact, which makes them suitable to cover large areas in places like warehouses. Also, the handheld portable barcode scanners are very affordable, which has led to their wide-scale adoption by global retailing giants such as Wal-Mart Stores, Carrefour, Metro, and Tesco. These factors will drive the demand for handheld barcode scanners and increase the overall barcode scanning market during the forecast period.
Self-checkout barcode scanners
“Self-checkout barcode scanners are expected to quickly increase their market penetration, growing at a CAGR of close to 7% over the forecast period. These devices are adopted in retail self-checkout terminals to help customers to check out their products easily and save time,” says Chetan.
The items checked by the customer are weighed and placed in the bagging area and then verified against the registered weight to ensure the accuracy of the final tally. Additionally, these systems accept payments through various methods, thereby eliminating the need for cashiers and driving for their increased adoption.
