一般的なRFID市場は過去数年間で大幅な成長を遂げており、一般市場への売り込みが成功し、RFIDタグの販売数が急増しています。ベンダーは現在、最先端のRFIDセンサを備えた関連技術を模索しています。これは、検知機能をサポートするように設計された新しいチップセットの貢献により実現されました。これにより、RFIDセンサーのコストを削減できます。さらに、RFIDセンサータグの読み取りに使用できるRFIDリーダーネットワークベースが増えています。さらに、印刷センサやフレキシブルバッテリーからバイオセンシングフィルムに至るまでの新技術は、満たされていないニーズを満たし、差別化をもたらします。
The general RFID market has seen substantial growth over the last few years, with successful public offerings and rapid growth in terms of the number of RFID tags sold. Vendors are now exploring allied technologies with RFID sensors at the forefront of this. This has been enabled thanks to new chipsets, at both HF(NFC) and UHF (RAIN) which are dedicated to support sensor platforms and therefore make RFID sensors simpler to make and lower cost in addition to the increasing maturity and wider scale adoption of RFID reader infrastructure. Additionally, new technologies from printed sensors and flexible batteries to bio sensing films meet unmet needs and provide differentiation.
Different technologies approach different market segments
Several different technology categories exist, namely:
1. Passive RFID sensors with no on board power source
2. Passive RFID tags with bio sensors, with no board power source
3. Battery assisted passive RFID sensors
4. "Chipless" RFID sensors - without a conventional silicon chip
From the above options, most can be bought to operate at either HF or UHF RFID, with HF RFID options offering a wider reader network thanks to NFC enabled consumer electronic devices albeit with limited read range of UHF devices with longer read range but requiring more expensive reader systems. The RF protocols developed for RFID are effectively being used as a means of data transfer of sensory information.
RFID Sensors 2018-2028 is the first report that covers all these options, the players behind the ICs, sensor tags and systems, the applications, trends and market size, forecast over a ten year period. The report draws comparisons from and assesses the related data logger market, and explores the role for RFID Sensors within that. SWOT (Strength, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) reports are given for the leading players, along with application case studies and impartial IDTechEx assessment of the whole sector.
