Market Research Institute in-STAT predicts that with RFID technology is increasing in commercial sector, the global RFID label market will increase from $ 2.8 billion in 2004 to $ 2.8 billion, other hardware industries related to RFID technology. And the software industry will also grow up. However, since the RFID tag is still relatively expensive, this technology is really widely adopted in the industry. It takes several years. The current RFID tag price is from 15 cents to more than $ 100. From the current perspective, the largest RFID market in the next few years will be a packaging supply chain, from 2005 to 2009 will consume maximum number of tags and labels. Wal-Mart has requested main suppliers to use this technology, which promotes the development of the relevant market. RFID's second largest market is estimated to be consumer products, although this market is also one of the more sensitive areas of privacy. Privacy issues are still concerned about many RFID applications, and now the governments of the world and relevant departments are considering relevant legislative issues. VENTURE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (VDC) The latest research report pointed out that due to the traditional retail equipment, the POS terminal, the barcode scanner and receipt printer have sunacinated, RFID and other technologies have gradually become new, and the future will achieve more than 10% year. increase. RFID suppliers have experienced success in European retailers such as Casino, Leclerc and Carrefour. Although North American retailers have not started using RFID devices, many top retailers have begun to assess and try similar systems. RFID is initially limited to the retail store payment automation. However, in the retail supply chain, RFID is located in the center of the conversion center. Only a small amount of work in the terminal level of the store (ie POS, inventory supplement, the total number of shelves), and most of the work is complete. Europe's Chip & Pin Promotion organization has developed the final deadline of the application, which will drive sales in the area smart card and RF payment terminals. VDC analysis believes that when the economic downturn in 2000-2002 began, retailer sales began to resume vitality, and public manufacturers have added technology upgrade investment, installation and test new systems, which are delayed because of budget acknowlednerability. The first updated traditional POS system and scanner, once the main system is up to date, these leading retailers will begin to evaluate and use the latest technologies such as ESL, RFID, and Self-Checkout Station. The survey of "Deloitte & Touche" is expected that this year's wireless label will become emerging industries. The scope of application involves retail and automotive industries. The role is to reduce stealing behavior, avoid waste and increase productivity. In 2005, RFID will complete the laboratory test phase and put it into the commercial market. By this year, more than 1000 million RFID tags will be sold and used. The global retail giant Wal-Mart and the largest chain supermarket chain in the UK intentionally use RFID technology to embed RFID chips into its plastic label for selling products, complete quickly check the goods, purchase inspection, and improve supply capabilities. Take Wal-Mart as an example, all purchase lists are automatically controlled after using RFID technology, which will greatly reduce human cost, saving $ 1.3 billion in operating costs per year.
