Global RFID Market 2015-2020 – Readers, Tags, Software and Services Healthcare & Medical is projected to be the fastest growing end use sector

The early 2000s saw the emergence of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) among the best technology not only in the supply chain but also in a host of other industry segments. This led several organizations to investing in R&D projects for deriving the maximum benefit as promised by RFID, with a few companies succeeding and many failing. The build-up surrounding RFID technology began to slowdown and reached a stage where the previous proponents of RFID technology started adopting a wait and watch strategy in the anticipation that RFID would eventually address the demands required of it.

In current times; Retail, healthcare and manufacturing constitute some of the most rapidly expanding sectors that would be instrumental in driving future demand for RFID technology. While the general consensus among experts has been a saturation of RFID adoption across various industries, 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.
