When asked about barcodes, what will be the first thing occured to you? 1D barcode, 2D barcode, or any specific barcode type? For me, the answer to this question is QR Code.
QR Code has been very popular for quite many years actually. There are many discussions around it. Some argued that it is not trendy any more and it is even observed to be dead.
Is it really so?

Actually I aslo researched on some other barcode types (like Code 32, Codabar, EAN 8 etc), but they turned out to have too few data for the comparison. So the final research was narrowed down to the 10 chosen barcode formats.
Here is the final barcode popularity research.
Is QR Code really dead? Please tell me after you check this report.
