Global RFID Market Valued at US$10.4 billion in 2015

The early 2000s saw the emergence of RFID as the best technology not only in the supply chain but also in a host of other areas. This led several organisations to investing in research and development projects for deriving the maximum benefit as promised by RFID, with a few succeeding and many others failing. The buildup surrounding RFID began to wane and reached a stage wherein the previous proponents of this technology started adopting a wait and watch strategy in the anticipation that RFID would eventually address the demands required of it.

Retail, healthcare and manufacturing constitute some of the most rapidly expanding sectors that would be instrumental in propelling demand for RFID technology in the years to come. While the general consensus among experts has been a surfeit of RFID adoption across the board, the actual scenario has been one of a bit slow and steady growth. Coupled with wider adoption rates, the factor of innovative technologies will play a major role in making RFID more reliable and cost-effective for a host of application areas.
