Semi-Annual RFID Market Data

This Market Data product includes ABI Research's latest RFID market segmentation and forecasts. The user can find here extensive data on RFID revenues and unit shipments, segmented by technology, application, and vertical market (aerospace and defense, automotive, commercial services, diverse manufacturing, government [non-military], health care/life sciences, retail consumer packaged goods [CPG], retail in store, transportation & logistics, and other). LF, HF, active and passive UHF, and Microwave technologies and solutions are covered across the following application areas: access control, animal ID, automatic vehicle ID (AVI), automobile immobilization, asset tracking, baggage handling, cargo tracking & security, ID documents, POS/contactless payment, RTLS, supply chain management (pallet, case, and item tracking), and ticketing.

The research covers transponder IC revenue and unit shipments by frequency and by region. Transponder unit shipments and revenue data are organized by operating frequency, region, vertical market, and primary application: access control; animal ID, automatic vehicle identification (AVI), automobile immobilization, asset tracking, baggage handling, cargo tracking and security, ID documents, POS/contactless payment, RTLS, and supply chain management. Reader unit shipments and revenue are available by operating frequency, region, vertical market, and primary applications. Shipments by form factor, including fixed, handheld, and embedded, are also provided. Finally, information is provided about RFID software and services revenues sorted by region, vertical market, and primary application.
