Scanner Software Global Market Report 2025

Description

Scanner software refers to computer programs specifically designed to operate scanners, facilitating the conversion of physical documents, images, or barcodes into digital formats. These software tools often incorporate features for image processing, text recognition, and file management, allowing users to efficiently manage and manipulate scanned data.

The main types of scanner software are on-premise and cloud-based solutions. On-premise scanner software is installed and operates on computers within the user's physical location, such as their office. These solutions find applications in various areas including original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket services. Industries utilizing these solutions span retail, banking, financial services and insurance, telecommunications and information technology, healthcare, transportation and logistics, energy, among others.

These scanner software market research reports deliver a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The scanner software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.12 billion in 2024 to $5.72 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to technologically advanced scanning hardware, digital transformation, integration with office applications, enhanced OCR (optical character recognition) capabilities, and cloud computing and storage.

The scanner software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.75 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to digitization initiatives, regulatory compliance, remote work trends, and integration with other systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increased demand for AI-powered document processing, heightened emphasis on security features, integration with IoT devices for streamlined workflows, and a surge in mobile scanning applications.

The rapid growth of industrial automation is expected to drive the expansion of the scanner software market in the coming years. Industrial automation involves the use of control systems, such as computers or robots, along with information technologies to manage processes and machinery in industries, reducing the need for human intervention. The rise of industrial automation is fueled by its ability to improve efficiency and productivity, thanks to advancements in technology and the increasing demand for streamlined operations. Scanner software plays a crucial role by automating and simplifying document and barcode processing, which enhances accuracy and efficiency in managing data and workflows. For example, in September 2024, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit organization focused on industrial robotics, reported that the number of operational industrial robots reached 4,281,585 units in 2023, reflecting a 10% increase compared to 2022. Thus, the growth in industrial automation is driving the development of the scanner software market.

Leading companies in the scanner software market are intensifying their efforts to develop innovative solutions, such as smartphone scanning interfaces, to gain a competitive advantage. Smartphone scanning interfaces are user interfaces optimized for barcode scanning on mobile devices, typically integrated into scanner software to facilitate efficient data capture using smartphone cameras. For example, Scandit AG introduced SparkScan in January 2023, a pre-built smartphone scanning interface tailored for high-performance barcode scanning. SparkScan aims to streamline data capture in scan-intensive workflows such as retail inventory management and logistics goods receiving. It seamlessly integrates with any smartphone application without necessitating app redesign, enabling swift implementation with minimal coding requirements. SparkScan offers various scanning modes and settings, empowering users to optimize scanning behavior for different tasks, while its user-friendly interface enhances aiming and triggering without constraints on device orientation, promoting comfort and productivity.

In December 2022, FARO Technologies bolstered its product portfolio and market position in the mobile scanning sector by acquiring SiteScape for an undisclosed sum. SiteScape, a US-based software company specializing in LiDAR 3D-based scanner software solutions for architects and contractors, strengthens FARO's capabilities and expands its offerings in the rapidly evolving scanner software market.
