Beacon Market By Type (iBeacon, Eddystone, AltBeacon, Others), By Technology (BLE, Wi-Fi, Ultrasound, Others), By Application (Retail, Travel tourism and hospitality, Healthcare, BFSI, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2032
The Global Beacon Market was valued at $9.6 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $395.9 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 53% from 2024 to 2032.. Beacon is a small device that sends out radio signals to nearby mobile phones and tablets, containing a small amount of data. Mobile apps on compatible devices can listen for signals from beacons on proximity area and then trigger an experience such as sending a promotional notification, coupon, video, URL form and others via the app.
The enhanced feature of beacon represents a significant driving factor for the beacon market. Beacon technology is widely being adopted in various sectors such as retail, healthcare, travel & tourism, and education among others, owing to its features such as employee & asset monitoring, data generation, resource optimization and others. In addition, beacon has made employee and asset monitoring more accurate and easier than before. Beacons create geofences to help track item in and out of specific area or locations. Further, it also provides history of movement which can be used to study trend lines and predictive analysis. Furthermore, beacons enabled name badges enable employers to better manage their workforce, ensuring that the right employees are at the right place at the right time, thereby ascertaining optimal performance. Similarly, beacon attached to restricted area enables automatic notification when unauthorized personnel, customers, or visitors enter the restricted or dangerous work zone, which in turn enhances safety and security. Thus, these enhanced features of beacons are driving the beacon market globally.
On the other hand, upsurge in organized retailing presents a compelling opportunity for the beacon market. Rise in disposable income, improved living standard, rise of consumerism, technological impact, entry of foreign retailers, and entry of corporate sector are fueling the growth of organized retail industry. Further, with the rise in organized retail such as supermarkets, departmental stores, hypermarkets and discounters among others the demand of beacon technology is also expected to rise as beacon makes organized retail store smarter. When a customer enters proximity of the beacons fixed in retail store with smart phone, it emits radio signal to locate the customer and update the information with the associated retail app. Further, based on location and movement of the customer inside the store or nearby, retailer can send targeted message such as offer & discounts on products, available brands on customer choice, new arrivals based on previous purchasing history, and others. Thus, easier access to the products makes the shopping experience more enjoyable. Hence, upsurge of organized retail industry provides numerous growth opportunities for the beacon market.
However, growing concerns regarding privacy and security is a restraint factor for the beacon market. Beacon technology has transformed the traditional marketing process through proximity marketing where it targets potential customers with personalized advertisements based on how near a customer is close to a particular location and attracting them through various promotional notification to make purchasing decisions in the near future. Further, features such as employee & asset monitoring, data generation, resource optimization and others, are fueling the adoption of beacon solution among several industry verticals. However, data security concerns related to data access from Bluetooth networks and IoT (Internet of Things) are expected to hinder the market growth. Furthermore, the increasing threat of cybercriminals targeting organizations via IoT devices is expected to limit the growth in coming years.
