The global radio frequency identification technology market size is anticipated to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising demand for devices for tracking, locating, and monitoring objects safety and resource optimization.
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a type of passive wireless technology that can identify or track a targeted item or an individual using radio wave devices. For the system, two elements are used called readers and tags. The RFID reader works as the main component that releases radio waves to connect or activate tag using its transmission signal. After receiving the signal, the tags or transponders that attached in the RFID tags responds and send back the information to the computing network. In short, RFID is a retrieval system and data storage that uses devices called transponders, tags, or RFID tags. The technology is widely applied for commercial applications especially in the transport and logistic industry and the main purpose of RFID technology is to track and identity an object having a unique serial number or digitally coded in RFID tags.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Increasing importance of capitalizing on these radio frequency, technologies, and identification devices providing real-time location systems is a key factor driving the market.
- Integration of high-level sensor networks and high access to the Internet of Things by commercial retail companies are main driver of the market.
- Rising popularity of printed tags and semi-passive tracking system for various secured monitoring of industrial and government projects are projected to boost the market in the coming years.
- Complex regulations towards the standardization of products and problems associated with frequency bands act as major restraining factors of the market.
- Diminishing costs of unsettled related to production over the value chains, reader vendors, and the tag result in exhibiting a greater cost-to-volume. This are crucial factors offering lucrative opportunities for market expansion.
