The future development trend of the RFID industry

1. UHF RFID is the focus of industry development

In the Chinese market, high-frequency RFID is still the mainstream trend of the industry, and UHF is the future development trend. In China, RFID has formed a mature application mode in the fields of electronic ticket, access control, mobile payment, etc. The applications in these fields are mostly concentrated in the low and high frequency bands. In terms of high-frequency applications, domestic manufacturers' chip design, manufacturing and ticket manufacturing processes and packaging technologies have gradually highlighted strong competitive strength and advantages. After years of rapid development, the domestic RFID high-frequency industrial chain has been continuously improved and can Compared with the international level, it has become the backbone of this market. In the future, with the continuous breakthrough of China's RFID high-frequency technology, in response to the "One Belt, One Road" policy, more and more RFID companies will continue to go out to compete with overseas giants to grab market share. In the field of UHF RFID, China's current market share is only at a low level, but with UHF RFID in the new retail of clothing, unattended stores, book management, medical health, aviation, logistics, Transportation and other fields continue to be popularized and developed. In the next 3 to 5 years, UHF RFID will become a key breakthrough in the development of the industry.

2、芯片开发turers' independent research and development capabilities are gradually strengthened, software and system integrators have great potential

在这个阶段,企业的数量和规模that master RFID core technology in China are still insufficient, and there are only some high-frequency and very small UHF chip products. In order to realize "Made in China 2025", strengthen the ability to independently research and develop chips, and get rid of dependence on overseas chip manufacturers to optimize the industrial structure and ensure national information security, China has successively introduced a number of favorable policies to promote the development of China's chip industry from the end of 2017. These policies will promote the Chinese government and enterprises to increase research and development efforts in the field of chips, which will help to resolve the high-end chip import dependence and eliminate the restrictive impact of the cost of RFID.

On the other hand, the market for software and system integration has great potential. The domestic information base in the field of RFID is relatively weak, and the number of applications that truly exert the advantages of RFID is still small. Software services are less profitable in RFID applications, and are sometimes offered to customers free of charge as a bonus, and integration costs are also at a lower level. However, in the future, when RFID technology realizes multi-functional application in multiple scenarios and open-loop application has also achieved breakthrough development, software services will continue to evolve, and in the future, it will be combined with hardware to provide customers with better and more comprehensive. Integrated solutions, software services revenue and profits beyond hardware is just around the corner.
