The next ten years will see a rapid gain in market share of mainstream printed and chipless RFID tags. The numbers sold globally will rise from 40 million in 2009 to 624 billion in 2019. By value, printed and chipless versions will rise from less than $5 million in 2009 to $3.93 billion in 2019, one third of all income from RFID tags in 2019 because most of the increase in penetration will be by price advantage. In 2019, the average price of an item level tag will be 1 cent but chipless versions will be less - particularly so when printed directly onto packaging.

1. Printed and Chipless RFID Forecasts, Technologies & Players 2011-2021
The biggest opportunity for RFID
The biggest opportunity for RFID is the item level tagging of all things. This ultimately calls for a very low
cost tag, something that printed and chipless RFID technologies have already demonstrated or have the
potential to achieve this. Interestingly, few of the biggest chip RFID suppliers are working on these
technologies. Instead, printers, packagers and electronics companies are leading development, some seeing the
ultra low cost RFID tag as just the beginning - with integrated ultra low cost components such as displays,
sensors and power to come. This is the only report to cover the technologies, players, opportunities and
challenges of what will be the most widely used RFID technologies. Detailed forecasts are given and global
progress assessed.
Ten year forecasts
RFID tags that do not contain a silicon chip are called chipless tags - some of which can be printed. The
primary potential benefit of the most promising chipless tags is that eventually they could be printed directly
on products and packaging for 0.1 cents and replace ten trillion barcodes yearly with something far more
versatile and reliable.
The next ten years will see a rapid gain in market share of mainstream printed and chipless RFID tags. The
numbers sold globally will rise from 40 million in 2009 to 624 billion in 2019. By value, printed and chipless
versions will rise from less than $5 million in 2009 to $3.93 billion in 2019, one third of all income from
RFID tags in 2019 because most of the increase in penetration will be by price advantage. In 2019, the average
price of an item level tag will be 1 cent but chipless versions will be less - particularly so when printed directly
onto packaging. However, only a small proportion will be directly printed onto packaging by 2019. Chip
versions will be about 4 cents for highest volumes in 2019 and chipless versions about 0.4 cents.
This report gives the penetration of printed and chipless RFID into many different market verticals over the
next ten years. It gives assessment of the different technology options and profiles of the main companies
developing these.
Forecasts by technology type
For the lowest cost technologies, we consider how the cost structure will probably not be on a per tag basis,
where the value of the tags in hundreds of billions is only a few million dollars, but those involved will make
money on licensing the technology, readers, data management etc.
