Global Retail Beacons Market is set to witness around 45 % CAGR from 2021 to 2026, with North America leading the revenue share in 2019. The increasing need to identify and target the focused set of consumers to enhance product sales will drive the Retail Beacons Market Growth.
Technology advancement to upgrade the marketing tactics and product positioning are the major factors for retailers to invest in this technology. Various large-scale retailers such as Walmart, Target, and Macy's have already deployed these sensors in their stores.
The industry had confronted a significant setback during the initial phase of the covid-19 pandemic. The sudden close down of retail stores, malls, and other public gathering spaces negatively impacted the industry growth. However, the industry is likely to be back on its normal growth pace during the forecast period.
By beacon standard, the market is divided into Ibeacon and Eddystone. Ibeacon led the product type segment and attained the highest deployment in 2019. Wider usage, enhanced connectivity, and improved customer reach are prime factors to inculcate high demand in this segment. The Eddystone is likely to attain notable gains during the forecast period. An increase in the number of users with smartphones will positively impact market growth.
The connectivity segment is categorized into Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Wi-Fi, and hybrid among others. Each connectivity type posses ample features compatible with different business needs. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) gained the maximum share in 2019 and is projected to witness significant gains up to 2026. Energy efficiency, better coverage, and lesser impact on battery usage are the prime benefits offered by BLE.
The applications are categorized into consumer store movement tracking, personalized marketing, discount & coupons alert, and loyalty programs among others. Consumer store movement tracking led the overall application segment and accounted for the largest share. This application provides insight related to consumer choice, activity, purchase, time spent, and the number of visits. These insights positively impact the sales and number of footfalls in the store.
Personalized marketing and discount & coupons alert applications are gaining high penetration in recent years. This feature makes it easy to focus on target consumers depending on the product specification. The notification will be sent to only target customers to increase the chances of sales. A similar impact is on the discount & coupons alert. The target market customization depending on the product category exhilarates the chances of sales.
Hardware, software, and services are the prime offering provided in the industry. The hardware segment will lead the global revenue share during the forecast period. Furthermore, the hardware segment is sub-divided into standard, card, and sticker beacon. Each product type finds its application in diversified businesses depending on the need and requirement.
Software offering includes content management software and analytics software. The segment is intended to attain the highest gains soon. Product customization and tailored solution are the prime offerings provided by these software programs to suit different purposes.
The other services provided in the industries are project management service, consulting service, and maintenance & support service. Increasing dependency on analytics tools and programs to effectively manage the data and information will induce high penetration in the coming years. These tools provide key information which can be transformed into analysis to enhance sales and overall store functionality.
North America dominated the global revenue share in 2019 and is likely to hold its dominance during the forecast period. The strong presence of regional players accompanied by increasing industries’ preference towards smart technology to enhance daily operations will drive the regional industry growth. Rising investment among retailers to upgrade the vicinity operations by adopting proximity tools will offer lucrative opportunities in the region. For instance, numerous offline large-scale retailers such as Target, Walmart, and Macy’s had invested and successfully deployed beacon-based proximity sensors in their stores.
Asia Pacific is intended to observe more than 45.6% of the CAGR from 2021 to 2026. Increased preference for location-based personalized marketing programs accompanied by advanced technology adoption in the merchandising store will induce growth in this region. China, South Korea, and India are predicted to be the major investors of this technology. The above-mentioned countries are projected to witness the highest number of sensor deployments in the coming years.
Global industry revenue share is non-concentrated in nature. Presently, only a few providers are present in the market with significant revenue share. Product portfolio enhancement to meet diversified business needs is the prime concern among the leading providers.
BlueCats, BlueSense, Estimote, Gelo, Glimworm, Gimbal by Qualcomm, Kontakt, Sensorberg, Sonic Notify, Aruba, Cisco, Accent Systems, Bluvision, Swirl Networks, and Blesh are key notable providers in the industry.
