This report has now been superseeded by the newly researched report RFID Forecasts, Players and Opportunities 2007-2017. Click here for full details.
 
 
This essential report analyses the rapidly growing and diversifying market for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) with detailed ten year forecasts. Cumulative sales of RFID tags for sixty years until the beginning of 2006 total 2.5 billion, with 600 million tags being sold in 2005 alone. In 2006, IDTechEx expect 1.3 billion tags to be sold, with 500million RFID smart labels for pallet and case level tagging but the majority into a range of diverse markets from baggage and passports to contactless payment cards and drugs.
 
In the short term large "closed loop" markets requiring high value RFID will remain very profitable and companies will seek to position themselves as the leader in hardware and integration in different vertical market segments. Challenges with tag yield versus cost, frequency acceptance, specification creep and required performance levels are some of the key issues that are being resolved to grow the RFID market exponentially over coming years to be almost ten times the size in 2016 that it will be in 2006. At 2016, IDTechEx see the value of the total market including systems and services to rocket to $26.23Bn from $2.77Bn in 2006. This includes many new markets that are being created, such as the market for Real Time Location Systems using active RFID, which will itself be more than $6Bn in 2016.
 
Such growth will be driven by the tagging of high volume items - notably consumer goods, drugs and postal packages - at the request of retailers, military forces and postal authorities and for legal reasons. In these cases, the primary benefits sought will be broader and include cost, increased sales, improved safety, reduced crime and improved customer service.
 
This comprehensive report from IDTechEx gives the complete picture with detailed forecasts at a price unmatched by others.

Market Analysis by a huge number of parameters
Using new, unique information researched globally by IDTechEx technical experts, we analyse the RFID market in many different ways, with over 150 tables and figures. They include detailed ten year projections for EPC vs non-EPC, high value niche markets, active vs passive, readers, markets by frequency, markets by geographical region, label vs non label, chip vs chipless, markets by application, tag format and tag location. Cumulative sales of RFID is analyzed as are the major players and unmet opportunities. It covers the emergence of new products, legal and demand pressures and impediments for the years to come.
 
Here are just a few examples.

For example, we give detailed ten year forecasts of the volumes of tags required, their value and the total market value for the following market segments:
 
  • Item
  • Pallet/case
  • Smart cards/payment key fobs
  • Smart tickets/ banknotes/ secure docs
  • Air baggage
  • Conveyances/Other, Freight
  • Intermodal containers and ULDs
  • Animals
  • Vehicles
  • Military
  • People
  • Car clickers
  • Passport page
  • Other application
 
We cover markets for item, case and pallet level tagging in great detail and also the vast opportunities beyond that, as shown below.

Highly profitable 'niche' markets analyzed
Major players now and in future in the various parts of the value chain are identified and the big orders and milestones now and in future are analysed, such as the rollout of the $6 billion national ID card system in China. Of course, not everyone will want to serve the severely price constrained, highest volume markets. For them, we examine many niches of at least one billion dollars potential that are emerging and many smaller opportunities where there is even less competition. They include:
 
  • Passports in the face of new terrorism resulting in new laws
  • Livestock and food traceability in the face of new laws, bioterrorism, avian flu, BSE, fraud with subsidies etc.
  • Intermodal containers (Smart and Secure Tradelanes and other initiatives)
  • Healthcare
  • Those in prison and on parole
  • Ubiquitous Sensor Networks USN, for warning of natural disasters, military and other purposes
