Integrating Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems in the transportation and logistics industry has become a crucial factor driving its growth. Storage facilities and drivers increasingly utilize mobile-based OCR systems to accurately read and process documents such as parcel labels, indicators, checks, product codes, shipping documents, freight bills, transportation manifests, and return goods records. Trucking, rail freight, ocean freight, air freight, courier, express, and parcel companies are adopting OCR systems to streamline their data operations.
Businesses across different verticals focus on digitizing their processes to enhance work efficiency. Consequently, many companies invest in OCR technology to digitalize their workflows and boost productivity. The increasing adoption of OCR technology by startups creates significant business opportunities in the OCR market. Mobile OCR is widely employed in supply chain and transportation operations to scan invoices and bills related to the delivery of goods across different locations. Enterprises are investing in next-generation technologies to reduce expenses associated with data management and extracting key information.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has affected almost all industries. During the initial stages of the pandemic, production across industries was severely hampered, resulting in material shortages and decreased exports. Businesses faced the challenging survival task, and intelligent manufacturing became essential in enabling efficient operations with limited resources and workforce.
In contrary, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced the optical character recognition (OCR) market, leading to notable transformations across industries. Amidst the pandemic, the OCR market witnessed a remarkable impact, particularly in accelerating digital transformation initiatives across industries. The widespread adoption of remote work necessitated efficient management and processing of large volumes of digital documents. OCR technology played a crucial role in automating document processing, enabling organizations to streamline operations and boost productivity.
