Abstract
Radio frequency identification (RFID) promises a major new revolution in
information technology. It can bring enhanced productivity to supply chain
management, inventory control, package tracking and a host of other business
functions. However, to be widely deployed, RFID tags must be manufactured at
exceptionally low cost. Printed electronics offers a way to achieve this goal.
This report reviews the market for printed RFID; both complete tags and
antennas. It examines the potential of the latest developments in RFID,
including the performance of the first commercial 13 MHz tags to hit the
market; research on printed UHF tags; and the impact of printed silicon
electronics on the manufacture of RFID tags. It also profiles the activities
of 11 organizations involved with the development and manufacture of printed
RFID products and provides both an update on the exciting new developments in
this field and an eight-year forecast of revenues from the printed RFID sector
in volume and value terms.
