Despite the world's largest RFID project, the $6 billion China National ID card scheme, being completed a year earlier, the global RFID market is rising 5% this year to $5.56 billion, in the face of the global financial meltdown which has caused some car production, for example, to plummet by 50%. In many applicational sectors, RFID orders are up 10%.http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/rfid_a_surge_in_orders_00001501.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/rfid_a_surge_in_orders_00001501.asp?rsstopicid=323 Jun 2009 In these days of environmental consciousness, what are RFID's green credentials? Is RFID a net positive or negative contributor to the campaign to help the planet?http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/how_green_is_rfid_00001382.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/how_green_is_rfid_00001382.asp?rsstopicid=322 Apr 2009 IDTechEx announces the new report RFID Forecasts, Players & Opportunities 2009-2019, which addresses the global RFID situation. Areas of growth, undersupply and oversupply and trends are given based on extensive new primary research. The report provides an unprecedented level of forecasts split in many ways. Here the primary author, Raghu Das, gives a summary of the report findings.http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/rfid_market_forecasts_2009_2019_00001377.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/rfid_market_forecasts_2009_2019_00001377.asp?rsstopicid=321 Apr 2009 This article shares some of the research carried out for the new IDTechEx report "Energy Harvesting and Storage for Electronic Devices 2009-2019". http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/paybacks_from_energy_harvesting_00001201.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/paybacks_from_energy_harvesting_00001201.asp?rsstopicid=314 Jan 2009 Third Generation Active RFID is the Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) sometimes known as the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and characterized by the tag doubling as a reader and a so-called mesh network being used with a choice of sensors on each tag.http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/third_generation_active_rfid_bursts_onto_the_scene_00001086.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/third_generation_active_rfid_bursts_onto_the_scene_00001086.asp?rsstopicid=302 Oct 2008 By value, we forecast that in 2009 the value of the RFID market will grow by 23% over 2008, and in 2010 it will grow by 25% over 2009 - not exponential, but still very strong growth.http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/rfid_truths_the_real_state_of_the_rfid_market_00001078.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/rfid_truths_the_real_state_of_the_rfid_market_00001078.asp?rsstopicid=324 Sep 2008 The IDTechEx Knowledgebase of over 3,500 RFID projects in 109 countries illustrates how this market of over $5 billion is rapidly diversifying.http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/ruggedised_and_apparel_rfid_become_popular_00001070.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/ruggedised_and_apparel_rfid_become_popular_00001070.asp?rsstopicid=316 Sep 2008 The US and China vie for the title of the world's largest RFID market, this year seeing them level pegging with $1.3 billion of business, which is looking to quintuple in the next ten years.http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/active_rfid_in_china_00001066.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/active_rfid_in_china_00001066.asp?rsstopicid=315 Sep 2008 One reason why the market for Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS) is growing rapidly to pass the billion dollar mark well within ten years is technology. It is improving rapidly, with new variants for the many new sub sectors of the market that are emerging.http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/rapid_improvements_in_real_time_locating_systems_00001036.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/rapid_improvements_in_real_time_locating_systems_00001036.asp?rsstopicid=314 Aug 2008 Numerous apparel companies have reported increased sales of up to 20% using RFID to monitor shelf stock levels. It is now emerging as the first major application of RFID in retail, with a strong business case. In 2008, IDTechEx research finds that 38% of the money spent on RFID in retail is specifically for apparel tagging. Here Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman of research firm IDTechEx, summarises the findings from the new IDTechEx report RFID in Apparel 2008-2018.http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/apparel_rfid_2008_2018_00001032.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/apparel_rfid_2008_2018_00001032.asp?rsstopicid=311 Aug 2008 The largest European RFID conference is being held on 30th September and 1st October in Cambridge. With a plethora of new announcements and industry-leaders presenting, Dr. Peter Harrop outlines some of the highlights the speaker programme has to offer.http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/opinion_leaders_join_rfid_europe_00001020.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/opinion_leaders_join_rfid_europe_00001020.asp?rsstopicid=330 Jul 2008 In this summary of the Active RFID market Dr. Peter Harrop outlines why Active RFID and its associated technologies are receiving such attention and have such high growth predictions.http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/the_booming_business_of_active_rfid_and_rtls_00001019.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/the_booming_business_of_active_rfid_and_rtls_00001019.asp?rsstopicid=329 Jul 2008 Passive radar is a term applied to radar that covertly employs other people's emissions as they reveal targets, no signal being emitted by those doing the covert detection. This has military uses. It is not to be confused with Real Time Locating System RTLS using passive tags, a new form of RFID-based RTLS that has burst onto the scene in 2008. This employs passive tags instead of the traditional active tags. The idea is actually about ten years old and it was mooted as a UHF system by Trolleyscan who called it RFID Radar and demonstrated by RFSAW, which uses Surface Acoustic Wave chips that are more sensitive and simpler to make than the silicon chips used by everyone else - active and passive.http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/real_time_locating_systems_using_passive_tags_high_volume_rtls_00001005.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/real_time_locating_systems_using_passive_tags_high_volume_rtls_00001005.asp?rsstopicid=322 Jul 2008 One million transistors is not enough for the RFID chip in the new e-passports because, increasingly, they have to double as driver's licenses, multipurpose cards and other media.http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/new_technology_powers_big_rfid_order_book_00000977.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/new_technology_powers_big_rfid_order_book_00000977.asp?rsstopicid=327 Jun 2008 The global RFID market continues its rapid growth as record orders up to $0.5 billion each are serviced. This year demand for RFID is on target for $5.3 billion globally as it powers its way to $27 billion in 2018. Indeed, much is now happening in Europe, although it is the US and China that share top slot as RFID spenders at present.http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/vibrant_rfid_markets_00000953.asp?rsstopicid=3http://www.idtechex.com/research/articles/vibrant_rfid_markets_00000953.asp?rsstopicid=309 Jun 2008
