The emergence of smart-sensing RFID solutions is expected to have a snowballing impact of RFID market. Development of smart-sensing RFID would bring IoT to modern warehouse. In new solutions, sensors will permit the system to track temperature and different factors which could influence the supply chain operations. Therefore, development of advanced RFID solutions would create lucrative business opportunities for RFID market players. Moreover, with rising applications of RFID such as inventory control, vehicle tracking, and inventory management, the scope of using RFID tags is getting broaden which in turn is fueling the RFID market.
The RFID tags segment is expected to pace up in the market, as tags are the crucial components of RFID solutions. The installation of RFID tags is much higher than readers and therefore are required in bulk for various use cases. Additionally, increasing scope of asset tracking is expected to drive the demand for RFID tags in the future, which is also expected to gain traction during the forecasted year.

The technology for transferring data from an electronic tag using radio waves is known as RFID. The term RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. It is basically an electronic label or tag attached with the products, this electronic tag is capable of being read through a reader for the purpose of tracking or identifying the product. Since past few years this industry has improved its standards by removing majority of the technological glitches which has led to make this industry capable of catering the interoperable requirements. Also this industry has reinforced the promotional and educational efforts by introduction of EPC Gen2 (Electronic Product Code Version 2) and UHF RFID (Ultra High Frequency RFID) types. The RFID technology is steadily transforming into a reliable and authentic choice for documentation. Though it took long for the RFID market to reach where it is today, with the improvising technologies this market is expected to witness a sharp growth in next few years.
In manufacturing industry, the RFID solutions assist in supporting processes which requires remarkable quality. The RFID tags monitor the work-in progress process and report data at all the critical production stages. The result from monitoring can be later used for performing root cause analysis in case any manufacturing flaws or damage occurs. Adoption of passive RFID tags is gaining momentum in manufacturing industries.
Retail, healthcare and automotive are another prominent industry installing numerous RFID tags and readers for tracking challenging sites and damage reporting and diagnosis purposes.
