Identification (ID) barcode readers play a crucial role in factory automation by scanning and decoding barcode information within industrial environments. These devices are integral to automated systems that track and identify items, parts, or products throughout manufacturing and assembly processes.
The primary technologies employed in ID barcode readers for factory automation include quick response (QR) codes or barcode recognition, object recognition, facial recognition, pattern recognition, and optical character recognition. QR codes and barcodes are machine-readable labels containing information about items or products. These technologies encompass hardware, software, and services deployed via cloud or on-premise solutions. They find application across various sectors such as augmented reality, scanning and imaging, security and surveillance, marketing and advertising, and image search. Industries benefiting from these technologies include automobiles, transportation, banking, financial services, insurance (BFSI), government, healthcare, information technology (IT) and telecom, media and entertainment, retail, and e-commerce.

The identification (ID) barcode readers in factory automation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.56 billion in 2024 to $2.76 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to improved database integration capabilities for data management, automatic data capture and process automation, advancements in mobile compatibility for ID barcode scanning, increasing adoption of ID barcode reading in diverse industries, reduced errors in data entry and record-keeping.
The identification (ID) barcode readers in factory automation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.69 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing use of image recognition applications, growing demand for precision and reliability in production, adoption of high-speed scanners for faster processing, expansion of regulatory requirements and industry standards, and increasing need for secure and tamper-resistant id verification. Major trends in the forecast period include innovation in ID barcode technology applications, compliance assurance, quality control enhancement, product innovation, and advanced barcode readers.
The growth of ID barcode readers in the factory automation market is being driven by the increasing adoption of image recognition applications. Image recognition involves identifying and detecting objects in digital images, crucial for enhancing efficiency, traceability, and reducing errors in production and inventory management processes. ID barcode readers play a pivotal role in this scenario by swiftly and accurately processing information encoded in barcode images, enabling automated data retrieval and management. For example, in January 2022, Capital Economics reported that approximately 2% of businesses are experimenting with AI, with 10% planning adoption. This translates to around 62,000 and 292,000 businesses, respectively. Data management and analysis are the most common AI applications, used by 9% of UK firms, followed by natural language processing (8%), machine learning (7%), AI hardware (5%), and computer vision/image recognition (5%). Therefore, the increased use of image recognition applications significantly contributes to the growth of ID barcode readers in the factory automation market.
Major companies in the ID barcode reader market for factory automation are focusing on advancing ID barcode technology, particularly compact industrial 1D code readers. These scanners are specifically designed for robust performance in manufacturing and logistics settings. For example, in January 2024, Datalogic S.p.A., an Italian industrial automation leader, introduced the Blade Series. This innovative line of compact 1D code readers is tailored for enhancing traceability in packaging and intralogistics. Equipped with a solid-state 1920x128 pixel camera sensor, sophisticated lighting, and precise 1-dimensional decoding capabilities, it reliably identifies labels even in challenging conditions such as discoloration, damage, or low quality.
In August 2024, Scandit, a Switzerland-based smart data capture provider, acquired MarketLab for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Scandit's ShelfView capabilities, enabling retailers to enhance store performance, boost associate efficiency, and better monetize shelf data in partnership with CPG brands. MarketLab, a U.S.-based company, specializes in optional barcode reader solutions.
