QR code labels are small labels that contain a Quick Response (QR) code, which is a two-dimensional barcode that can be read by a QR code reader app on a smartphone or tablet. These labels are typically used in commercial and industrial settings to provide quick access to information about a product, asset, or location. QR code labels are a cost-effective and efficient way to provide information and access to a variety of applications. They can be printed on a variety of materials, including paper, plastic, or metal, and can be customized to fit the specific needs of a business or organization.
As the use of smartphones and tablets continues to grow, the demand for QR code labels is also increasing. QR codes can be easily scanned using a smartphone camera, providing quick access to information and enhancing the user experience. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the trend toward contactless transactions, driving the demand for QR code labels for payments, ticketing, and other applications.
The adoption of QR code labels is highly dependent on the availability and use of mobile devices with built-in cameras and QR code reader apps. In areas with limited smartphone penetration, the use of QR codes may be limited. QR codes can be easily copied or modified, raising concerns about the security and authenticity of information transmitted through QR code labels. This may limit the use of QR codes for certain applications, such as financial transactions or sensitive data.
QR code labels can be integrated with other technologies, such as augmented reality, to provide enhanced user experiences and additional functionality. This presents an opportunity for businesses to innovate and differentiate their products and services. QR code labels can provide valuable data and insights, such as product usage and consumer behavior, which can be used to inform business decisions and drive growth.

In 2025, the global trade landscape has shifted dramatically following the U.S. introduction of sweeping tariffs under President Donald Trump’s administration. These "Liberation Day Tariffs," launched in April, aim to reduce trade deficits and boost domestic manufacturing. Tariffs range from 10% on imports from countries like the UK and Australia to 46% on Vietnamese goods, with a blanket 34% tariff on many Chinese imports and 25% on all steel, aluminum, and auto parts. This policy heavily impacts the consumer goods sector apparel, appliances, packaged foods, and personal care products due to their deep reliance on global supply chains, especially in Asia. U.S.–China trade tensions have intensified, with reciprocal tariffs reaching up to 145% on U.S. goods and 125% on Chinese exports, while China’s trade surplus with the U.S. hit USD 102.6 billion in March 2025. In response, the EU and Canada have implemented retaliatory measures, signaling a broader shift toward protectionism.
The consumer goods industry is feeling immediate effects: production costs are rising, sourcing is delayed, and inflation pressures are mounting. Apparel and footwear now face 25% tariffs, prompting brands to seek nearshoring options or raise prices. Household appliances incur 20% tariffs, complicating inventory and procurement strategies. Packaged foods and beverages are hit with 10–15% tariffs, impacting contracts and leading to supplier diversification and product reformulation. Personal care firms face higher costs for imported ingredients and packaging, leading to local sourcing efforts and delays in new product launches. Meanwhile, electronics, though temporarily exempt, are preparing for possible disruptions by diversifying suppliers and increasing inventories.
China remains the backbone of U.S. consumer goods sourcing, accounting for a large portion of imports either directly or through upstream components. This makes tariffs on Chinese goods especially disruptive. The rising input costs 15–30% in many categories combined with seasonal pressures and tight timelines, are causing delays and increased costs. Smaller brands, in particular, are struggling due to limited capital and reduced supplier leverage. Many are being forced to increase prices, cut product variety, or compromise on quality.
Market research is now critical to navigating this volatile environment. It supports supplier mapping and risk assessment, helping brands identify alternative sourcing countries with stable regulations and quality control. It also aids in cost and margin analysis, guiding decisions on pricing and sourcing changes. Optimization of product design and materials through research allows companies to reduce costs while maintaining consumer expectations. Additionally, research helps assess consumer price sensitivity, enabling strategic repositioning. Tracking regulatory changes and running scenario planning models allow firms to anticipate and adapt to future trade shifts.
To cope, companies are restructuring their global sourcing models. Major brands like Nike and IKEA are expanding operations in Vietnam, India, and Mexico, while embracing “in-market for market” strategies to reduce exposure to tariffs and logistics risks. Many are adopting AI-driven demand forecasting and automated procurement, and pushing suppliers for transparency. Product redesign and SKU rationalization are also common. The most successful firms are those using data-driven insights, operational flexibility, and strategic supplier partnerships to adapt not just survive in this new era of global trade.
In DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Equally significant as packaging, product labeling has also emerged as an extremely important factor influencing the purchasing behavior of consumers. The 2D nature and machine (mobile device) readability of QR code labels continues to highlight their robust potential in terms of adoption. Apart from food and beverages, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and personal care industries have adapted to the paradigm shift of barcode-to-QR code, in the recent past.
