Global Industry Trends and Scope for Smart Beacons Market
Market Overview
During the forecast period, 2021-2026, the smart
beacon market is estimated to grow at a 45 percent CAGR. When smartphones,
tablets, and other devices are in close proximity to a beacon, beacon
technology allows them to do tasks. When Apple introduced its beacons in 2013,
proximity marketing became a big industry trend that was widely adopted by the
industry's behemoths. Amazon, the world's largest retailer, used beacons to
track attendees at one of the company's largest Amazon web services conferences
in 2019. Instead of sending individualized messages, Amazon later announced
that the sensors were used to anonymously track foot activity and obtain
insights on crowd behavior.
Market Scope
Beacons are miniature wireless transmitters that broadcast
signals to other nearby smart devices using low-energy Bluetooth technology.
The market focuses on numerous end-user applications, including as retail,
sports, transportation, and logistics, with its products as a service,
hardware, and software.
Market Trend
v
The use of smartphones has completely
transformed the way people shop, thanks to the increasing development in retail
sales. Retailers are increasingly using Beacon technology, a location-based
proximity marketing solution, to improve the customer experience, grow revenue,
and increase operational efficiency.
v
Furthermore, merchants are employing technology
to better understand their customers in order to solve the personalization
challenge. Beacons, which are wireless devices that connect with consumers'
Bluetooth-enabled cell phones as they shop, have been deployed at stores such
as Target and CVS. 1000 beacons are estimated to be used in a typical Target
store.
v
With the recent updating of Bluetooth
specifications to Bluetooth 5.1, better and more cost-effective navigation
solutions with positioning precision of less than a meter are now available on
the market. Retailers who use beacons for indoor navigation, on the other hand,
are likely to change their hardware infrastructure to support the new protocol.
