Global Chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Market

The use of a wireless non-contact system that uses radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data from a tag attached to an object, for the purposes of automatic identification and tracking is termed as Radio-frequency identification (RFID). With innovations in technology, Chipless Radio Frequency Identification tags have been invented, and offered at the affordability level of customers, which will result in high growth. They also decrease in the manufacturing time as are coupled with a simplified manufacturing technology. Moreover, the tags are compatible with the existing infrastructure, which saves the additional cost of installing new system. The trend of reduction of the price of chipless RFID tags by the manufacturers is resulting in high growth of chipless RFID market.

Market Dynamics

Lately, the need for affordable and efficient solutions has been realized by the manufacturers for track and trace for the various applications like retail, supply chain, smart card, etc. Even at lower cost, Chipless RFID tags prove to be equally efficient as compared to chip-based RFID. To avoid the shrink in retail, there is an increasing demand for chipless RFID to provide the various solutions like asset tracking, anti-counterfeiting. It also makes the system more productive by helping to increase the efficiency. Chipless Radio Frequency Identification has an ability provide the solutions like anti-counterfeiting, which is a universal burning issue for healthcare industry. It is going to benefit supply chain, aviation, and public transit segments by creating hassle-free operations. Also, an increase in the market penetration of smart cards and so of chipless RFID will be there as chipless RFID will make smart cards more secure.
