Global Bluetooth Beacon And iBeacon Market Definition

Bluetooth Beacons are hardware transmitters which is a class of Bluetooth low energy (LE) devices that broadcast their identifier to nearby portable electronic devices. The technology enables smartphones, tablets, and other devices to perform actions when in close proximity to a beacon. Bluetooth Beacons use Bluetooth low energy proximity sensing to transmit a universally unique identifier picked up by a compatible app or operating system. The identifier and several bytes sent with it can be used to determine the device’s physical location, track customers, or trigger a location-based action on the device such as a check-in on social media or push notification.

Bluetooth Beacon transmitters come in a variety of form factors, including small coin cell devices, USB sticks, and generic Bluetooth 4.0 capable USB dongles. It operates using the Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy standard so battery-powered devices are possible. The battery life of devices varies depending on the manufacturer. The Bluetooth LE protocol is significantly more power-efficient than Bluetooth Classic. Bluetooth Beacon can be used to send a packet of information that contains a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). iBeacon is a protocol that was originally developed by Apple Inc.

iBeacon is based on Bluetooth low energy proximity sensing by transmitting a universally unique identifier picked up by a compatible app or operating system. The identifier and several bytes sent with it can be used to determine the device’s physical location, track customers, or trigger a location-based action on the device such as a check-in on social media or push notification. iBeacon can also be used with an application as an indoor positioning system, which helps smartphones determine their approximate location or context. With the help of an iBeacon, a smartphone’s software can approximately find its relative location to an iBeacon in a store.

Global Bluetooth Beacon And iBeacon Market Overview

Rising awareness about iBeacon technology as well as growing smartphone usage and increasing purchasing power of consumers resulting in increased smartphone usage are some of the key factors propelling the growth of the Global Bluetooth Beacon And iBeacon Market. The introduction of beacons technology has revolutionized the adopters’ operations by driving a new level of customer engagement through personalization. The growth prospects can be attributed to the surging eminence of location-based marketing in the retail industry. Combining the benefits of the physical shopping experience with the digital ecosystem has become important for brick-and-mortar retailers.

In addition, the Growing integration of beacons in cameras, LED lightings, point of sale (POS) devices, digital signage, and vending machines is expected to propel the industry growth over the forecast period. Apart from retail applications, beacons are also projected to become a common commodity in industrial applications. Moreover, Advancement in IT solutions such as the Internet of Things (IoT), low power requirement, and low cost are some of the key factors propelling the growth of the Global Bluetooth Beacon And iBeacon Market. Continuous technology advancement is a key factor for the revolution of the global stores and business sectors.

Over the last decade, various technological advancements in electronics and information technology have occurred rapidly resulting in the development of the Global Bluetooth Beacon And iBeacon Market. Furthermore, The key factor driving the industry growth is the increased number of applications powered by beacons and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tags. Beacons are witnessing growing penetration across asset tracking and machine/equipment status observation in high-volume verticals. At the same time, the markets for both existing and new applications are maturing, leading to larger roll-outs.

However, with the use of iBeacons and Bluetooth Beacon, users are expected to witness challenges related to the limited transmit-only protocol (no bidirectional communications between two devices), frequency variance (do not have the same frequency and do not transmit signals of same power), privacy and security issues, fluctuation in signal accuracy due to weather conditions, device power, temperature and polling intervals. This limits adoption of iBeacons and Bluetooth Beacon among users and restricts the Global Bluetooth Beacon And iBeacon Market growth.
