Global Bluetooth Beacon Device Market in Retail 2016-2020


NEW YORK, Jan. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Market overview of Bluetooth beacons in retail

Technavio€™s market research analyst expects the global Bluetooth beacons market in retail to grow at a remarkable CAGR of around 17% during the forecast period. Since a substantial contribution in the retail industry comes from organized retail, which include hypermarkets, supermarkets, department stores, discounters, specialty stores, and cash & carry stores, the growth in organized retailing is expediting the growth of the Bluetooth beacons devices market.

Multichannel marketing as well as in the product distribution in the retail industry has become one of the major trends, which is driving the growth of the market. Bluetooth beacons manufacturers are following this trend and are developing software apps for beacons as well as manufacturing beacon devices. One such example is that Estimote, a top beacon device manufacturer, is developing mobile software app for both the iOS and Android platform.

Geographical segmentation of the Bluetooth beacons market in retail

The US being the largest market in this region, holds a market share of close to 84% in terms of the shipments of beacon devices as of 2015.
