RFID is used for various applications in transportation, retail, healthcare, and BFSI, among others, owing to its applications. The demand for RFID is growing at a faster pace, especially UHF tags. The advantages provided by RFID tags are fueling their demand in the market. In comparison to other RFID tag frequencies, UHF tags have the quickest reading speed and the greatest read range, which, under ideal circumstances, can reach 150 meters. Additionally, UHF tags are more affordable than passive tags operating at low and high frequencies.
RFID tags are used in many industries as an alternative to traditional systems. For instance, RFID is used for the creation of personalized employee credentials. Many organizations are moving away from the use of passwords and PINs in favor of password-less authentication. These systems typically take the form of RFID-enabled secure smart cards. Moreover, RFID is being used by logistics companies to track cargo being shipped by land, air, and sea, as well as monitor the environment while it is being shipped. When conditions are not ideal, RFID tags alert the user so that immediate action can be taken. The entire supply chain, including warehousing and delivery, uses RFID.
In addition to helping businesses track specific items, this technology also helps them optimize their inventory and become cost-effective. Such growing applications are positively impacting the Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) market CAGR across the globe in the coming years.
However, to cater to the rising demand, companies in the market are launching products that can be used for various applications, another factor driving the growth of the Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) market revenue.
The Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) Market segmentation is based on tags, readers, and software.
