LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chipless RFID tags are being used to help organisations manage their supply chain and logistics activities, according to a new research report available on companiesandmarkets.com. The potential applications for low cost tagging are significant, and by 2017 it is expected that the chipless RFID tag market will cross the $2 billion barrier.
Chipless RFID Tags: A Global Strategic Business Report
Offering similar functionality to traditional RFID but at a much lower cost, chipless RFID tags are gaining the approval of many end users, and expansion potential is significant.
Chipless RFID tagging technologies are not expected to supersede chipped RFID systems, rather work alongside them, giving customers the opportunity to select the most appropriate technology for their needs. Chipless tags are most likely to be deployed in situations where the tagged products are of lower value and are unlikely to need to be moved considerable distances, while more expensive chipped RFID tags are more likely to be used to monitor expensive products, or those which will enter a more complex supply chain.
In certain circumstances, the simplicity of chipless tags provides a distinct advantage over chipped tags, which cannot be used in radioactive settings, for example. Chipless RFID technology’s tolerance of gamma radiation could potentially see the tags deployed within the pharmaceutical industry, or in other extreme environments.
In terms of value, Europe and Asia-Pacific present distinct growth prospects, while from a volume perspective, the chipless RFID tags market is dominated by the US and Europe.
