Abstract
There is a great need for profit optimization and careful product positioning
and repositioning in the frenetic but unforgiving RFID market that is
increasing ten times to become a $26 billion business in 2016. RFID is
entering most sectors of corporate, public and private life so understanding
how to create enduring profit from such a choice of designs and applications,
software, hardware and services, calls for great care and modern management
tools.
Last year, the profits of 1000 RFID activities varied from about ten million
dollars to a loss of $53 million. Too much of this was unplanned and
unintentional. Some of these companies are growing rapidly and profitably but
others have recently gone out of business. Yet, in this fast growing,
fragmenting market, the performance of the players obeys rules of the
marketplace and success and failure can largely be predicted and controlled.
IDTechEx has studied its 2000 case studies of RFID in action in 75 countries
and carried out detailed market research to understand what is going on.
This unique report on how to make money in RFID is packed with facts and
analysis. IDTechEx, a consistently profitable RFID business, explains the
trends, opportunities and tools for optimization of cash generation. It
reveals the rationale behind the sudden increase in both fund raising and
acquisitions in RFID and who is doing what and why - also what should come
next. IDTechEx analyses how to benefit from the trends, interpreting the
disruptive new technologies and its 10 year market projection. This lucid and
informed examination of how to succeed in RFID should be required reading for
all seeking to maximize their contribution to this exciting sector and create
enduring profitable growth, from manufacturers to consultants and investors.
The 190 page report contains 67 tables and figures comparing the performance
of over 40 RFID companies in order to explain product positioning, future
market opportunities, dangers and other signals ahead. The following 90
