The Demand For RFID Tags is Expected to Reach 5.5 Billion Units by 2010.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c37291 ) has announced the addition of China's RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) A data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag, also known as an "electronic label," "transponder" or "code plate," is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna.  (Radio Frequency ID) Market Study, 2005-2006 to their offering.

After describing RFID technology and system, this report analyses the structure and trends of the RFID industry, both worldwide and in China. Then it gives full details about mainland China following companies: RFID chip manufacturers, RFID antennas, tags and readers manufacturers, RFID system integrators See systems integrator. , RFID product agencies, RFID relevant organizations and institutions.

Chinese RFID technology was rationally applied and essentially developed in 2005, and various applications and trial practices have arrived in an ever-more competitive market. The standards for RFID represent a burning issue and a decision needs to be made.

Currently, in China, RFID applications centralize cen·tral·ize

 in non-logistics fields, while in logistics, RFID is still experimentally adopted instead of being extensively applied, which is attributable to the following two factors. To start with, there are no definite frequency allocation The electromagnetic spectrum is an aspect of the physical world, like land, water, and air. It is a resource, limited by its usability. Use of radio frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum is regulated by governments in most countries, in a process known as  and technical standards for RFID so far. RFID applications in logistics are mostly within the 860-960 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. , which stands in contradiction with the frequency band adopted in China telecom industry. This problem can not be satisfactorily settled in a short time. Secondly, RFID industry lacks of a sound foundation and RFID technology requires improvements.

Compared with developed countries, the technology and application of RFID in China are still in their early stages, especially in UHF (Ultra High Frequency) The range of electromagnetic frequencies from 300 MHz to 3 GHz. In the U.S., analog television has used UHF channels 52 to 69 in the 700 MHz band.  (ultra-high frequency) applications. China does not master well core technologies in chip designing & manufacturing, antenna designing, packaging and equipments, etc.

Low and high-frequency RFID application markets have low technical requirement and many enterprises involved. Those two frequency bands are fully developed and widely promoted, with a market share of more than 80%. Even so, RFID products are mostly of same quality. Comparatively, there are higher technical requirements for ultra-high frequency RFID application in which few enterprises set foot. The application of UHF RFID is progressing rapidly in spite of higher costs.

There will be massive applications of ultra-high frequency RFID in 2008, with well-developed standards and technologies then. The gross demand for RFID tags An electronic identification device that is made up of a chip and antenna. For reusable applications, it is typically embedded in a plastic housing, and for tracking shipments, it is usually part of a "smart" packaging label.  will amount to 4.4 billion units, of which the demand for UHF RFID will be 3.64 times that of 2005. It is estimated that the total demand for RFID tags will get to 5.5 billion units by 2010.

At present, there are more than 100 RFID enterprises in China and the most essential elements of an industrial chain have been established. Most of companies, however, do have not their own core technologies especially in super-high frequency. Among them, there are over forty various agents and branches of foreign-funded enterprises, accounting for two fifth of the total number. In contrast, the number of chip and antenna designing and manufacturing enterprises only share less than 10 percent. Companies involved in system integration and developing application systems are making the fastest progress in Chinese RFID industrial chains, with a 50% share.

What's more, less than thirty five enterprises have their own intellectual property. 75% of the firms are involved in LF/HF band which is well technically developed in early days and widely applied in hardware including chips, antennas, tags and readers. Only 12 % of the companies specialize spe·cial·ize

 applications. When it comes to UHF band, only four enterprises undertake 433MHz products with proprietary intellectual property.

The Chinese RFID industry will be progressing steadily in 2006. With the gradual implementation of RFID plans by Wal-Mart, more Chinese enterprises will accelerate RFID applications domestically. As for industrial application, anti-counterfeiting 2nd-generation cards are still in leading position. Nowadays, more and more applications are expected in dangerous goods
