Major trends in the forecast period include focusing on strategic acquisitions in order to expand into newer markets, to increase their market share, get access to newer technologies, and ultimately get the potential to increase their revenues, technological advancements and focus on new product launches.

The growth of e-commerce and online retail sales is expected to significantly boost the RFID tags market during the forecast period. E-commerce, or electronic commerce, involves the buying and selling of goods and services over a computer network, predominantly the internet, along with the exchange of payments and information. RFID technology provides e-commerce companies with enhanced visibility of the supply chain, enabling them to locate the items needed to fulfill customer orders. For instance, in August 2024, the United States Census Bureau, a US government agency, reported that U.S. retail e-commerce sales for the second quarter of 2024 reached an estimated $282.3 billion, reflecting a 5.3% increase compared to the first quarter of 2023. Thus, the rise in e-commerce and online retail sales is driving the growth of the RFID tags market.

The increase in healthcare expenditure is projected to propel the growth of the radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags market in the future. Healthcare expenditure encompasses the total funds allocated for healthcare goods and services, including medical equipment, hospital services, physician services, prescription medications, and public health initiatives. Enhanced healthcare expenditure can facilitate the implementation of RFID tags in various ways, leading to improved efficiency, patient care, and overall healthcare management. For example, in May 2023, a report from the Office for National Statistics, a UK government department, indicated that healthcare spending in the UK rose by 5.6% between 2022 and 2023, compared to a growth of 0.9% in 2022. The UK’s healthcare expenditure was approximately $317.63 billion (£292 billion) in 2023. Therefore, the increasing healthcare expenditure is fueling the growth of the radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags market.

A notable trend in the RFID tags market is the increasing adoption of advanced technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things) and Big Data. The integration of IoT enables RFID tags to connect objects within a network, facilitating real-time monitoring and the creation of a system of interconnected devices transmitting information about their position, conditions, and quantities in real-time. For instance, in February 2023, Omni-ID, a US-based company specializing in passive industrial RFID tags, introduced a range of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Long Range (LoRa) enabled IoT devices equipped with sensors. These devices utilize RFID tags to enhance asset management and logistics processes through the transmission of situational and status data. This reflects a growing trend in the market where RFID companies are leveraging advanced technologies to bolster their offerings.

Strategic partnerships have emerged as a prominent trend gaining traction in the radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags market. Major companies in the RFID tags sector are forging partnerships to fortify their market position. For example, in April 2022, a US-based manufacturing company entered into a partnership with MishiPay, a UK-based software company. This collaboration enables consumers and retailers to streamline in-person interactions and touchpoints through Scan & Go, a feature that has gained significance amid the post-COVID-19 return to normalcy. Additionally, in August 2022, Kit Check, a leading Medication Intelligence automation vendor, joined forces with Genixus, a US-based pharmaceutical company. Genixus introduced RFID-tagged propofol as the first product for its ready-to-administer (RTA) syringe platform, KinetiX, aiming to enhance acute and critical care operations and support physicians in improving patient outcomes. These partnerships underscore the industry's focus on collaborative efforts to drive innovation and meet evolving market demands.

In May 2022, HID Global, a US-based manufacturer of secure identity products, acquired Vizinex RFID for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, HID Global aims to expand its RFID tag portfolio across various sectors, including healthcare/medical, manufacturing, oil & gas, and data centers. Vizinex RFID, a US-based company specializing in RFID tags, becomes part of HID Global's growth strategy to cater to diverse industry needs.

Radiofrequency Identification (RFID) Tags consist of a chip and an antenna, enabling wireless identification of attached objects when scanned by an RFID reader. These tags use radio waves to transmit identification, tracking, and communication information to nearby readers, and have the capacity to store diverse data, ranging from a single serial number to multiple pages of information. The technology involves hardware and software that facilitates users in receiving, storing, and transmitting data through radio frequency waves.

There are two main types of radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags such as active RFID and passive RFID. Active RFID tags, powered by batteries, act as sensor tags connecting to various access points within an area, transferring data to the cloud. Active RFID finds frequent application in real-time location tracking. These tags come in different materials such as plastic, paper, glass, among others, and operate across various frequencies such as low frequency, high frequency, and ultra-high frequency. RFID technology is utilized in diverse sectors, including industrial, retail and wholesale, healthcare, BFSI, transportation and logistics, government, and others.
