GS1 2D barcodes gain momentum in China

On 19 May 2022, GS1 and GS1 China, together with the Zhejiang Provincial Administration for Market Regulation (Zhejiang AMR), signed a joint announcement for a project that will implement 2D barcodes for millions of products in the Zhejiang province of China (65 million population). Over 7,000 food production companies will join the initiative and 200 stores of the largest merchandise retail chain in Zhejiang will undertake system upgrades to do POS checkouts with 2D barcodes. It is expected that by the end of 2023, 80% of all food companies in Zhejiang Province will have 2D barcodes printed on their products.

The signing ceremony of the 2D project announcement received extensive national and local media coverage in China, including TV, newspapers, and online press. Read more.
