Automatic Identification and Data Capture Market Insights

Automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) is a technological system that is used to automatically detect the object, capture the necessary data about the object and automatically feed the data to the computer system without any human intervention. The external data is captured through image sensing, capturing sound or video and a transducer is used to convert the data format from image or sound to digital file and is stored in the database where it can be used for further analysis. Due to the presence of an automated process, the data is captured at a faster rate and also accurately. The AIDC method is largely employed in warehouses, inventory management, tracking, order shipment, volume, and weight determination and is used across various industry verticals. Therefore, with increasing object movement activities and the benefits of faster and accurate data capturing, the demand for automatic identification and data capturing is high across the globe.

The different types of AIDC systems used are barcode solutions, smart cards, optical character recognition (OCR) systems, RFID products, magnetic stripe cards, voice-directed WMS, heads-up displays, VR solutions, wearables, google glass, and biometric systems. Barcode readers are widely used in retail, healthcare, manufacturing, warehousing, education, banking, among others, and provide a faster throughput rate and reduce human error. The AIDC systems are widely used in retail stores and supermarkets for faster serving time and help to reduce the queue length. This helps to provide better customer satisfaction at the point of sale and also reduces the cost of service. For instance, radio frequency identification (RFID) products are used for product tracking, electronic toll collection process, and product shipments. The Government of India has made mandatory implementation of RFID technology-based AIDC product now FASTag from January 2021 for all the four-wheeler motor vehicles. This RIFD based FASTag is used to automatically collect the toll at the toll booth from all the four-wheelers. Therefore, there is rising demand for the AIDC system across the globe.

The E-commerce sector is booming across the world. The AIDC system is employed in the e-commerce segment as it is used in warehousing, inventory management, order shipment and it helps to connect the whole process by storing the data at a centralized database. The barcode readers and RIFD systems used in e-commerce system helps to reduce the processing time and faster shipment of the order items and helps to reduce the cost by saving the processing time and automating the process of data capturing. As per the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the global e-commerce revenue stands at $ 25.6 billion worldwide in the year 2018 and it is estimated that more than 1.4 billion population across the globe uses e-commerce websites for shopping. Therefore, with the booming e-commerce sector, the demand for the AIDC system will be increasing.

The major market drivers for automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) system are growing adoption of faster, accurate, and automated data identification and capturing system, growing usage in retail stores at point of sales to reduce service time, increasing demand for AIDC in electronic toll collection, booming e-commerce sector, growing focus on AIDC system in banking and finance to reduce transaction time, growing demand across different industry verticals and rising demand for QR codes scanning from smartphone for different applications. These aforementioned points will support AIDC market growth during the tenure from 2021 to 2026. The AIDC market growth will be hindered due to the higher initial cost of AIDC systems.
