The Bluetooth Special Interest Group recently released the Bluetooth Core Specification 5.4, a new wireless standard for Electronic Shelf Labels that breaks down the technical barriers of proprietary communication protocols among manufacturers, enhancing system compatibility between different vendors and further reducing costs Baidu BaikeIot101. Market research firm ePaper Insight predicts that the global ESL module market will grow to approximately $3 billion in 2025 Iot101.
Electronic Shelf Labels are electronic display devices that can replace traditional paper price tags, connected to store computer databases through networks to display the latest product prices and information in real-time Baidu Baike. This technology utilizes low-power e-ink display technology with a single-use lifecycle of 5-7 years, improving price change efficiency to the minute level with an error rate below 0.00001% Baidu Baike. Compared to the tedious manual process of replacing traditional price tags, which takes at least two minutes per tag, ESL systems can complete price changes for tens of thousands of tags in a very short time.
The automation trend in the retail industry is a key factor driving the growth of the electronic shelf label market, as retailers increasingly prefer to adopt ESL systems to improve operational efficiency and customer satisfaction Globalmarketmonitor. Through direct connection with Enterprise Resource Planning and Point of Sale systems, ESL not only reduces manual operation errors but also enables dynamic pricing and real-time product location management. Data shows that using ESL can increase product shelving speed by 50%, improve price tag refresh efficiency by 85%, and reduce overall costs by 70% Ylwlesl.
Major electronic price tag system solution providers currently include France’s SES, China’s Hanshow, Sweden’s Pricer, and South Korea’s Solum Jishulink. In the Chinese market, ZKONG, Clouder, Wollian Electronics, and more than ten other companies are actively expanding their market share. Overseas retailers such as Metro, Carrefour, 7-11, and Walmart have widely adopted ESL, while Chinese retailers like Wumart and Yonghui have also implemented practical applications Baidu Baike.
On the technology innovation front, E Ink has partnered with multiple semiconductor companies to develop System on Panel chip technology, creating next-generation ESL solutions that use fewer materials, consume less power, and have simpler manufacturing processes EET China. These technological advances not only enhance product performance but also align with environmental requirements under the dual carbon strategy.
With the advancement of Bluetooth standardization and continuous technological innovation, Electronic Shelf Labels are expanding from high-end supermarkets to more retail formats, becoming important infrastructure for the digital transformation of physical stores.
