Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a type of automated data collection technology that utilizes radio­frequency waves to transfer data between a reader and the RFID tags attached to an object/item. RFID devices can be classified into two types: active RFID and passive RFID. Active RFID tags generally use the battery as a power source, whereas passive RFID tags do not depend on external power sources. Typically, there are two different practices that exist for transferring power from the reader to the tag: electromagnetic (EM) wave capture and magnetic induction, both the designs utilize electromagnetic properties associated with an RF antenna. In general, the RFID system comprises various components, including RFID reader, RFID tags, RFID antenna, host computing device, and application software.

Market Dynamics – Asia Pacific RFID Market

Expanding retail sector coupled with rising retailers’ focus on embracing digital technologies to enhance the customer shopping experience and optimize the warehouse management process is the key factor contributing to the growth of the Asia Pacific RFID market. For instance, barcode technology is increasingly being replaced in retail settings because of its attributes such as greater scanning distance, speed of detection (no need to be positioned in a line of sight with the scanner), and high security (data can be encrypted and password protected).

RFID is one of the efficient technologies in the handling of goods and materials in the production environment. Expanding manufacturing landscape coupled with increasing adoption of automation and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions in the manufacturing sector is propelling the growth of the Asia Pacific RFID market. Additionally, increasing investment in asset management by organizations across verticals and rising need for contactless infrastructure for government initiatives such as smart cities will fuel the growth of the Asia Pacific RFID market during the forecast period. For instance, RFID has a wide spectrum of applications in toll management, contactless smart card for public transportation, automatic vehicle identification, congestion management, smart parking, and others. However, challenges related to security vulnerabilities and increasing preference for other tracking technologies such as UWB, BLE, and infrared are identified as restraints likely to deter the progression of the Asia Pacific RFID market during the forecast period.
