Only 36% of British consumers know what QR codes are

"QR codes may be popular among marketers, but the vast majority of consumers (64%) don't know what they are for.
According to a survey of 794 online respondents by Simpson Carpenter, just 36% of consumers know what QR codes are for, while 11% have actually used them?
Does this lack of awareness mean that QR codes are not such a valuable tool, or do they target a smaller but potentially more valuable audience?"

Note - these reports do not include Japan
"Notes on reporting methodology:
-  These reports are based on the total number of QRcode, Datamatrix and UPC/EAN scans recorded by the i-nigma system during the relevant periods. Because of i‑nigma’s prominence in many markets worldwide, we believe that these numbers are likely to be indicative of global mobile barcode activity
-  The reports do not include activity in Japan, which is known to be well ahead in popularity and usage of mobile barcodes
-  For better representation of global open market trends, the reports specifically exclude the activity of i‑nigma-based solutions that are used by our vertical customers
