Subject:        RFID Forecasts, Players & Opportunities 2007-2017

I enclose details of our Global RFID Forecasts and Market Report.  
  
This report is the summation of extensive new research including interviews with RFID adopters and solution providers in the various applicational RFID markets, giving an unprecedented level of insight into the total RFID industry and what is really happening.  

  
In 2007 we expect that 1.91 billion tags will be sold. The total RFID market value (including all hardware, systems, integration etc) across all countries will be $4.96 Billion. By far the biggest segment of this is RFID cards. For those not involved in that sector, the 2007 market value for non card RFID (e.g. RFID labels, fobs, tickets etc) will be $1.97 Billion. Excluding cards, 58.4% of the market in 2007 will be in the US and 33% in Europe.

Consequently, although China, for the first time, dominates the total RFID business - virtually without exporting - the USA dominates everything beyond the card part. The market will rise to $26.88 Billion in 2017. This includes many new markets that are being created, such as the market for Real Time Locating Systems using active RFID, which will itself be more than $6 Billion in 2017.  
  
This comprehensive report gives the complete picture with detailed forecasts at a price unmatched by others.  
  
Full analysis by each market is given in great detail including in-depth historic data. Over 200 companies are profiled in this report. We give detailed ten year forecasts of the volumes of tags required, their value and the total market value for the following market segments:  
  
-Drugs   
-Other Healthcare   
-Retail apparel   
-Consumer goods   
-Tires   
-Postal   
-Books   
-Manufacturing parts, tools
