Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the key factors driving the market growth is the increased adoption of RFID in e-commerce. The market is experiencing rapid growth, which is driving the market. Additionally, in the e-commerce sector, inventory is stored in warehouses and must be regularly updated. RFID technology is used in e-commerce to manage volatile inventory and provide stock updates, leveraging these solutions for efficient inventory management.
The technology in e-commerce saves time and enhances efficiency in inventory checks and new shipments on a daily/monthly basis. RFID scanners can read tags up to 20 feet away and record hundreds of tags per second. Inventory management in the logistics and manufacturing industry requires precise calculations of incoming and outgoing stock, and the technology provides accurate results while reducing data redundancy. This technology leverages sensor networks and tags for efficient warehousing operations. These factors are fueling market growth in the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market growth is the growing interest in smart retail stores. A smart store refers to a type of brick-and-mortar retail establishment that uses smart technologies, including smart cards, and smart mirrors. In addition, the technology is used in smart stores for the delivery of products to customers and checkout services.
Moreover, Amazon.com Inc. and Walmart Inc. have successfully adopted RFID developments, allowing them to outperform physical retail establishments. For example, in February 2021, Lojas Centauro (a sports goods retailer) started deploying this technology at its stores to track apparel as they were received, displayed, and sold. Hence, the emergence of smart stores integrated with this technology is anticipated to impact the market positively. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Data security and consumer privacy issues are one of the key challenges hindering the market growth. The technology has the feature to encrypt the stored data based on the requirements of the end-user. In addition, without encryption, the data stored can be found with the help of the frequency. However, data security is a threat to RF communication that happens between the tags and the readers
Moreover, alternative technologies such as beacons send a signal with a beacon identifier that says, I am here. Still, in RFID communication, it transmits the data related to the product, such as code and other details. Furthermore, some of the data security threats are clone tags, unauthorized riders, and side-channel attacks. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market during the forecast period.
