Electronic shelf labels (ESL) also known as digital price tags, are digital wireless display systems that retail stores use to show product prices. Typically, ESLs are attached to the front edge of retail shelving. Once applied to the shelves, it directly connects to the store's ERP and point of sales (POS) to reduce pricing management labor costs, improve pricing accuracy, and enable dynamic pricing. Furthermore, each electronic shelf label (ESL) system has a Lan CD or e-ink display that shows the price and universal product code (UPC) of the product.
Trending automation in the retail industry is the key factor that drives the growth of the electronic shelf-label market. Moreover, the necessity for more cost-efficient and less time-consuming alternatives to paper labels fuels the market growth. In addition, increased operational efficiency with real-time product positioning, owing to the utilization of electronic shelf labels boosts the growth of the electronic shelf label market size. However, high expenses of installation and infrastructure costs restrain the electronic shelf label market growth.
