Market Segment Insights:
The iBeacon segment held a major market share of the total revenue in 2016
Based on technology, the global Bluetooth beacons market is segregated as eddystone, iBeacon, and others. The iBeacon segment is expected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period. The growth of the segment is attributed to increasing need for providing location-based information and alerts to nearby smartphones compatible with iBeacon. Large adoption of products such as iPhones and iPads is projected to boost the segment during the forecast period.
iBeacon provides proximity-based marketing to its target customers with modified messages based on their shopping history. Rising importance of iBeacon has encouraged companies to introduce several new protocols such as AltBeacon and Eddystone.
Placement of beacons in stadiums and airports is projected to boost the segment. Additionally, the support of Eddystone on Android Chrome is estimated to drive the demand for android-based proximity solutions, which helps to track the location of beacons. Google provides protocols with open sourced framework, which differentiates it from Apple’s iBeacon.
The retail segment held a major share of more than 65% of the total revenue in 2016
On the basis of end-uses, the global bluetooth beacons market is fragmented as travel & tourism, retail, healthcare, financial institutions, and others.
