Annual RFID End User Survey Top Line Results

End User Organizations Share Their RFID Adoption and Usage Plans

In order to gain deeper perspective into usage plans and requirements among both current and potential RFID end users, ABI Research surveyed key influencers at organizations that use RFID technology, those that plan to install, those that have evaluated, and those not using RFID technology. More than 115 qualified organizations from across the world responded to ABI Research’s 2009 RFID end-user online survey.

This Research Report provides the high-level, top-line results from that annual survey. It includes analysis of respondents’ RFID usage plans, primary adoption drivers, specific applications, supported operating frequencies, current and anticipated transponder and reader volumes, RFID expenditures and budget direction, vendor sources and selection criteria, and demographics. Non-user responses are also analyzed to gain perspective into reasons for not adopting RFID. The respondent pool includes manufacturers, retailers, hospitals, government agencies, logistics providers and others representing companies of various sizes, revenue classifications, and lines of business. This analysis provides data obtained from a cross-section of 117 end users from all major vertical and regional markets. The results offer a sample snapshot of the broader end-user community trends to consider in the development of more detailed market models and business strategies.
