Trends & Developments in the Barcode Printers Market, 2025-2030 - Rapid Growth of e-Commerce and the Logistics Industry Driving Revenues to $5.78 Billion by 2030


Dublin, May 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Barcode Printer - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025-2030)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Barcode Printer Market size is worth USD 4.71 billion in 2025, growing at an 4.18% CAGR and is forecast to hit USD 5.78 billion by 2030.

Increased adoption is the driving force behind the growth of barcode printers as they make logistics operations more efficient. When barcode printers are used to monitor products in distribution chains, they also help store Internet of Things and serial number information while the product is moving between channels to keep that information available for future use. This is an essential factor that encourages the adoption of barcode printers.

Key Highlights

  • Increasing incidents of theft and fraud in consumer goods and pharmaceuticals are fueling growth in the barcode label printers market. Utilizing barcode tags has simplified logistics and supply chain management by aiding in inventory control, smooth cargo movement in distribution networks, and monitoring manufacturing and assembly processes.
  • Moreover, changes are happening in the retail, industrial, and healthcare fields. In the retail industry, consumers seek individually tailored interactions and seamless multichannel buying processes. In May 2024, EM Microelectronic and SATO Corporation revealed that SATO's CL4NX and CL6NX Plus industrial printers, as well as CT4-LX desktop printers, can now print and encode em|echo-V RAINFC labels, catering to retail, healthcare, and smart industrial sectors.
  • The use of barcodes in green technology is an innovative way to minimize waste and support sustainability by monitoring and controlling the life cycle of items and resources. Barcodes are common symbols that store details like product name, cost, maker, and expiry date. Consumers and businesses can use a smartphone or dedicated device to scan barcodes and access extra information and services to aid in decreasing their environmental footprint.
  • In addition, the costs associated with poor printing of labels are reduced by barcode printers since they can use barcode verifiers. Those verifiers ensure that the output is of good quality in all respects. The barcode printer offers a quick payback period in the form of ROIs. Thus, demand for barcode printers in the supply chain industry is projected to increase during the forecast period. The printing regulations ensure that printing techniques are environmentally friendly.
  • The barcode cannot be read or written, and it does not contain any additional information, such as expiration date. Only the manufacturer and the product are included in it. However, the use of barcodes can be very demanding since they must be scanned individually, which could affect the market's growth.
