In the Earth of the hourglass is flows Recalling the 2007, 2006, during the past year, many RFID vendors have suffered setbacks, but many more manufacturers of RFID business for rapid development.

We can still be found, retail RFID industry's largest market, the appreciation of the United States is the world's largest RFID application state, the application of RFID industry development occurs, the non-contact smart cards and then leading position ....

Never reached the scale of

2006 start of the first few months, subject to the retailer's order requirements, the industry on RFID technology also holds great enthusiasm.

At that time, the RFID tag into production capacity has been built to meet the requirements, relative to the Gen 1 RFID Gen2 technology, showing excellent performance – open standards, suitable price, UHF advantages and practical application experience, etc. However, pallet/container-level RFID tags demonstration in 2006 year hamper a Gen2 technology development; at the same time, many manufacturers are not very willing to adopt RFID technology, this enables RFID technology is more widely used, that did not produce the resulting technical and cost issues, although retailers reported feedback results have been very satisfied.

　　

Lead Gen 2 RFID future

For many consumer electronics manufacturers, IDTechEx find that there are many obstacles, and costs are quite high, approximately every 10-15 cents, which in 2006 holiday disc/carton label sales only 2.5-3 billion.

Reader sales price is very high. However, other participants benefit. Procter from Wal-Mart shared information found using RFID identification technology like this situation makes Wal-Mart group can be more timely goods shelves, making Gillette Fusion razor's sales increased by 19%. Hanna Candle company found United States although 90 pallet consumes 12.6M dollars, but using this kind of RFID technology can reduce the enormous impact of ordering operations. However, overall, these findings are not sufficient to compensate the prospects and gloomy enterprise on this continuing trend is not optimistic.

Some RFID applications rarely have the income, for example, an enterprise to performance evaluation and on random post samples for tag or an enterprise from Mark beef products.

The key issue is the message label is 10 dollars or more for beef products label is 2 dollars. These two enterprises have the possibility of obtaining the proceeds of approximately $ 50 million. If true, then the company may continue to do so.

RFID hardware supplier to retail sector should first proceed to carry out research work, although no one has to consider the issue of cooperation between departments.

Because they know someday they will succeed, and you will get strong support. They consider themselves to be "the final winner". But while some systems integrators benefit, on the whole still demand.

Basically, the RFID Tray, and container tags allows the majority of less than 4 million pallet and container of Western retailers, in two years after the marginal income will increase to 1 billion.

These earnings are enterprises from their approximately 1 billion consumer products. In addition, RFID vendor actually provide these consumer products companies spent about $ 100 million. From RFID vendor's perspective, the source of funds and investment companies and the parent company. In fact, the enterprise in respect of those RFID investment will flow into fast large retailers there. System integration is a better benefit parties, because the packaging for consumer goods companies and retailers build RFID pallet/container facilities to be able to make a profit. At least, the retailer has anti theft tags maintenance, labels and systems supplier for the packaging of consumer goods company support — obviously, sensor detection point system still profitable, because they do not have to be for those who never appear in terms of pay.

IDTechEx RFID believes that, to date, is probably most large retail market, consumer goods companies can find workable compensation.

For them it is a realistic opportunity to own this item level of identification technology. Retail managed request their main suppliers will learn as much as they can identify all product pallet or container. These products are low-value and low margin products, most consumer goods suppliers will not be given receipts is Almanac of course. For RFID vendors, retailers of single grade of identity is a better business opportunity, where high value product will first single grade RFID identification technology, such as the United Kingdom Department of clothing, Martha BGN 100 books or buy video games. While at the same time, these products are also vulnerable to rapidly design changes. For example anti theft tags will have three different options: close-up distance in UHF, VHF or high frequency electromagnetic waves.

RFID technology application power

Which countries are willing to adopt RFID technology? which countries not interested in the RFID? by 2400 for learning case, 2600 and 91 countries information survey, we found:

First, the United States is the largest technology application state, in case library has the largest number of already applied or configuring RFID case, case value is also the largest.

Last year's results are United States-first, there is a well-known item 3840.More shockingly, United Kingdom Federation in RFID projects ranked second in number, but at the cost of funds is not a second, in terms of more competitive in China, Korea, Japan is a strong competitor.

　　

China RFID active in the world arena

China is among the top five, and Korea later ' home, in the rankings comparison on.

Australia also ranked from the original to the seventh decade leap. Secondly, in the case of New Zealand, the world's largest manufacturers of milk – Fonterra endeavours to a certain degree of the RFID technology in the development of the region.

The rapid development of Australia RFID fact clearly manifested in well-known areas such as the use of RFID in libraries, in hospital identified book identifies patients, etc.

Make Australia is different from other countries because of the statutory factors: legal requirements for domestic cattle, horse racing, is identified in the food industry has also carried out some experiments, such as identification of fish products, tomatoes, and other foods, etc. Australia RFID development doesn't stop, is likely to be in other countries before all four feet are identified animals. As a major trade organization strongly protect their food industry, Australia as the largest food-exporting countries, the world's largest producers of sheep products, there is no question that must be in advance the use of RFID technology.

RFID technology flourish

RFID technology is booming, aviation, logistics, transport, animal identification, and so on are becoming RFID vigorously trotted stage.

From the aviation industry, RFID ROI issues are increasingly uncertain. Aviation Business Association IATA a responsible person said: "in the next few years, the aviation industry will have a greater proportion of baggage using RFID identification technology, but also in other application areas using this technology. "RFID is evolving to become an international phenomenon, and not just government-level application project. China Taiwan RFID applications are developing rapidly. In 2006, launched a total of five Government application project, follow the plan, the 07 year there will be more projects.

Mark IV will RFID technology as a market breakthrough of the transport sector, combined with existing relatively sophisticated e-payment system to guarantee payment for personal and commercial offers more secure and convenient means of payment.

Work in the DSRC 5.9GHz frequency appear as transport industry has brought new momentum.

In transport, RFID technology also has a huge market.

For example, South Korea and Japan's ubiquitous sensor network system in the next few years will be a vast market of RFID technology.

Driven by legal factors, global animal husbandry products gradually adopting RFID identification technology.

For example, the EU and New Zealand will be in 2008 and 2010 to join to form a huge sheep, pigs, beef products identifies market, these two areas on the label of the year the total demand will exceed 1.5 million pieces, the price is approximately US $ 2 — this will be an enormous market. New Zealand's largest book distributors BGN per year due to millions of labels, huge gains will encourage other vendors to quickly follow up.

RFID smart card's huge market and prospects

The industry generally believe that contactless RFID smart cards are grown into the largest RFID market one of the main force.

Heavyweight manufacturers are currently in the contactless smart card for large sums to invest in non-contact smart cards and smart keys, and so increase the intensity of research and development and production in order to enhance response to competitor rivalry forces, forcing competitors to catch up.

　　

China based on RFID technology for the second generation of citizen ID card

RFID smart card is a great success and contactless ticket sales is a multiple-growth.

Chinese identity behind works with United Kingdom resident identity card scheme (total investment of at least $ 15 billion) to become the largest 06 and 07 results of RFID. In the access control security field, at present, there is already a group from visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB Japan United States these giant companies of 30 million pieces of RFID credit card reach global circulation, this motivating role on RFID goes without saying that contribute to the continued growth of the RFID industry enters the stage. In the United States, to facilitate the use of RFID credit card, a 150-bed placement RFID reader.

As RFID credit cards, electronic ticket and NFC mobile phones pop, dramatically enhanced payment, access control and security of the degree of reliability and quick, and will gradually as the world's people are widely accepted, needless to say, the related supporting facilities of the establishment and also produces a huge market.

China is expected to be completed in 2008 of around 9 million pieces of the second generation of citizen ID card replacement works, in 2007 reached 3 million pieces of cards in circulation, the second generation of cards each cost $ 2.45, appropriate supporting read/write system worth $ 12 billion.

It is estimated that in 2008 the Global RFID smart cards (including matching system) of the total market is expected to exceed 3 billion.

IDTechEx forecast RFID Smart ticket sales will start the 2007 rocketed to 1 billion Zhang 4.5 billion in 2010.

China's national rail system every year, approximately 30 million e-ticket, which, for the Global RFID smart card, only represents a start (text/Fay).
