Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL) are low-power-consuming display tags used mostly in the retail industry to display product prices and information. ESLs display information using electronic paper (E-paper), liquid crystal display (LCD), or thin-film transistor (TFT) technologies. ESL tags are centrally controlled and display pricing information, product information, competitor pricing, and advertisements. These tags are used as an alternative to paper tags in retail facilities. ESL tags are mainly used in the retail sector; however, hospitality, travel & tourism, automotive retail, and corporate, among other sectors, are also turning to electronic shelf labels due to their cost-effectiveness and efficiency.
Stringent environmental regulations concerning the use of paper, the rising trend of retail automation, and the higher efficiency and time savings offered by ESLs compared to traditional paper labels are the factors driving the growth of the electronic shelf labels market. However, the high cost of installing ESL infrastructure is expected to restrain market growth in developing regions. Advancements in retail technologies and the availability of real-time product information and prices, with the use of Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence, are projected to provide significant growth opportunities for the vendors operating in this market. Also, the reluctance to deploy automated technology among low-margin retailers is expected to create challenges for the market's growth.
The Impact of COVID-19 on the Electronic Shelf Label Market
The outbreak of COVID-19 had a huge impact on the retail and other industrial verticals. The pandemic caused a widespread economic breakdown across several countries, trade routes, and the global supply chain. Due to lockdowns and country-wide shutdowns of physical stores, the e-commerce sector increased to meet the demand for essential items. Lockdowns severely impacted consumers as well as manufacturers. Although the period of lockdown and restrictions was limited, several markets and industries were forced to observe a slowdown in the annual growth rate. This also impacted the supply chain due to lack of supply and extreme demand as consumers were panic buying, government restrictions were imposed, and lack of labor.
Electronic shelf labels enabled retailers to update prices automatically, in real-time across stores, eliminating tedious and error-prone manual work. With ESLs, retailers increased their pricing efficiency and accuracy, optimized click and collect, and simplified replenishment. Store operators quickly reacted to market prices and easily synchronized pricing to keep up with the online competition. ESLs allowed customers to see the correct price and get personalized, in-depth product information, creating a seamless in-store and online shopping experience with price transparency.
The pandemic also impacted the psychology of consumers towards the purchase of goods and where to buy them from. Consumers are changing their spending patterns to purchase less expensive products to save more money, which is expected to reduce the footfall of physical retail stores and indirectly reduce the growth of the electronic shelf labels market.

Several retailers took the opportunity of the pandemic to deploy ESL in their stores. From the third quarter of 2020, the manufacturing of ESL recovered much faster. The retail industry is expected to recover steadily due to the increased need for automation, stringent government regulations regarding the environment, and the use of paper, minimizing human interaction and contact. Among a few major retailers, Walmart, in its retail chains in the U.S. and Canada, is planning to transform its stores from paper labels to electronic labels by the end of 2021. While most consumers in developed countries are still hesitant to re-visit physical stores and prefer e-commerce, consumers in developing regions, such as China, India, and Brazil, have started visiting the retail stores after relaxation from the government.
