Market Drivers:
D1: Mobile Penetration: With the widespread adoption of smartphones globally, QR codes have become more accessible to a larger audience. Nearly everyone with a smartphone can use QR code scanning apps, making it easier for businesses to implement QR Code Applications for various purposes.
D2: Marketing and Engagement: QR codes provide an effective means for businesses to engage with customers and drive marketing initiatives. By scanning QR codes, consumers can access exclusive content, promotions, and product information, leading to increased brand engagement and customer loyalty.
D3: Ease of Use and Convenience: QR codes are simple to generate, distribute, and scan, making them an attractive solution for a wide range of applications. Whether it’s accessing digital menus at restaurants, making payments at retail stores, or redeeming coupons online, QR codes streamline processes and enhance user convenience.
Market Challenges:
C1:Security Risks (Phishing & Malware): QR codes can be exploited for “quishing” attacks—malicious links that trick users into giving up credentials or installing malware. Lack of user awareness and native scanner protections remains a major concern.
C2: Low User Awareness in Some Regions: While QR usage is widespread in Asia, adoption remains slower in parts of North America, Europe, and Africa due to unfamiliarity, privacy concerns, or limited infrastructure.
C3: Lack of Standardization: Multiple formats (static vs. dynamic, branded vs. plain) and varying platform capabilities (e.g., different scanner behaviors) create compatibility and interoperability issues.
