Global Beacon Technology Market is expected to grow during the forecast period owing to the following factors such as increasing demand from retail industry, ongoing smart city projects, rising Bluetooth beacons in public transport, etc.
Beacons are tiny physical devices, which screen a radio signal that can be detected by smartphones. They work when a piece of code is added to mobile apps that enable Smartphone Bluetooth technology to detect a beacon’s specific signal. Moreover, Beacon has a wide array of solid business benefits that includes low cost, easy to adopt, reliability scalability, and easy implementation.
Moreover, Internet of Things (IoT) helps to have every individual interconnected with their surroundings and to interact with them through smart devices. In recent years, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, commonly known as beacons has become popular in the smart infrastructures, the medical and retail industry, and many more, due to its availability in a plethora of wireless devices. Beacons are widely used in IoT devices, such as smartphones, smartwatches, etc. Beacons are small, low cost and low power, wireless transmitters that bring attention to their location by broadcasting a signal with a unique identifier at regular intervals. Beacons are a promising solution for many smart city applications from proximity marketing to indoor navigation. However, they do pose security and privacy challenges.
