The scanner market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $8.54 billion in 2024 to $8.91 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to document digitization and paperless trends, business process automation, government regulations and compliance, library and archiving needs, educational sector demand.
The scanner market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.45 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration with cloud services, remote work and collaboration tools, healthcare industry digitization, advancements in 3D scanning, consumer adoption for personal use. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on energy efficiency, rise of portable and handheld scanners, document management software integration, enhanced security features, adoption of ai and machine learning.
The rising demand for digitalization and automation is anticipated to drive the growth of the scanner market in the coming years. Digitalization involves converting analog information into a digital format, while automation refers to the automatic execution of tasks without manual intervention. Scanners are essential for digitalization and automation as they transform physical documents into digital formats that can be easily stored, accessed, and processed by computers. For example, in March 2023, the International Monetary Fund, a US-based financial agency of the United Nations, reported that digitalization across advanced economies increased by an average of 6 percentage points. Additionally, in August 2022, Eurostat, a government agency based in Luxembourg, stated that more than 90% of EU small and medium enterprises (SMEs) should achieve at least a basic level of digital intensity by 2030. Thus, the growing demand for digitalization and automation is fueling the expansion of the scanner market.
The rising demand for sheet-fed scanners is expected to boost the growth of the scanner market during the forecast period. A sheet-fed scanner is a computer scanning device specifically designed to scan loose sheets of paper. These scanners are commonly used by businesses to digitize office documents. Many businesses prefer paper digitization because scanning reduces document management costs. It decreases expenses related to paper and small supplies such as staplers, scissors, tape, glue, pens, and pencils while also saving space in office premises by eliminating the need for physical document storage. Therefore, the increasing demand for digitization is projected to enhance the demand for sheet-fed scanners, consequently driving the growth of the scanner market during this period.
The scanners market is being significantly influenced by technological advancements. Businesses in the scanner industry consistently invest in emerging technologies to enhance their revenue streams. For example, in July 2023, Canon Inc., a Japan-based imaging technologies company, introduced the imageFORMULA R30 document scanner. The Canon imageFORMULA R30 is a versatile and user-friendly scanner designed for home offices and small businesses, capable of batch scanning double-sided documents of up to 60 sheets. It includes CaptureOnTouch Lite software, enabling users to convert scanned documents into various file formats and make them searchable using keywords.
Major companies in the scanner market are actively engaged in the development of innovative and advanced products to establish a competitive edge. Innovative and advanced products in this context refer to scanners incorporating advanced image scanning and innovative paper handling capabilities, ensuring the delivery of high-quality scanning results. For instance, in August 2023, Voxelgrids, an India-based Healthtech startup, launched an advanced and cost-effective MRI scanner poised to revolutionize healthcare accessibility. The company has successfully developed a state-of-the-art MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanner, significantly more affordable than comparable conventional models, thereby eliminating access barriers for billions of people who were previously unable to afford such technology.
In March 2023, Tek84 Inc., a US-based company specializing in ultra-low-dose x-ray imaging, acquired IDSS Corp for an undisclosed amount.
