RFID Overview

The RFID stands for radio-frequency identification; the technology uses electromagnetic fields to track RFID tags and identify the product labelled with these tags automatically. RFIDs are similar to barcodes on electronic devices that stores data in the database. The RFID tags are used in various end-use industries to track the progress in the assembly line during production.

Impact Analysis of COVID-19 on the Global RFID Market

The coronavirus pandemic has created a chaos in various end-use industries and negatively impacted several markets drastically. However, the RFID market has witnessed a significant rise in the market growth rate during the time of the pandemic. The RFID technology automates the process of data collection and vastly reduces human effort and error in tracking information. During the pandemic, RFIDs were used in multiple ways in the healthcare sector for instance in tracking medical equipment and other valuable medical devices so that the staff could quickly locate the equipment in the hospital premises. These advantages of RFIDs are predicted to drive the global market at the time of pandemic.

Rise in the Use of RFID Technology For Operational Use In The End-Use Industry

The global RFID market is projected to grow significantly in the estimation period as several end use industries involved in manufacturing units utilize RFID technology. RFID tags are used via wireless non-contact radio frequency wave’s that help in transferring data to the RFID readers. This technology allows users to automatically identify and track products stored in inventories and also track a product’s production stage. For instance, RFID technology in manufacturing industries are used not only to track products but also help in understanding the lifecycle of the product.

RFIDs in retail sector are used to track the inventory products through where the product can be identified and tracked on all the way until their delivery to various departmental stores. For instance, in United States (US), all the departmental stores of Walmart use RFID technology to track merchandising and shipment right up to their delivery in the departmental stores.

Cost Associated with RFID Technology to Act as a Restraint for the Growth of the Market

The cost associated while manufacturing the RFID tags and reader is expensive. The RFID technology are ten times more expensive as compared to barcode readers. The barcode readers are a major alternative product for the RFIDs. Although RFID is a more versatile and practical technology, barcoding will continue to be a dominant technology in various way, one being the affordable cost. The cost factor is a major restraint for the global RFID market and is predicted to hinder the market in the forecast period.
