In recent technology developments, chipless RFID tags have been developed and offered on the affordability level of customers, which will result in high growth. It is coupled with a simplified manufacturing technology and decrease in the manufacturing time. Moreover chipless RFID tags are compatible with the existing infrastructure, which saves the additional cost of installing new system. Manufacturers have reduced the price of chipless RFID tags. This trend is causing for a high growth of the chipless RFID market.
U.S. being a pioneer in the RFID business contributes highest market share of 44% with CAGR of 23.2% followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific which share equal market share. Europe and APAC are expected to grow by 28.9% and 37.0% respectively. Looking at the growth of Asian economies like China and India Asia-Pacific is expected to contribute 37% which will be highest. U.S., Western Europe and China will be the demand drivers of chipless RFID market.
In the recent past manufacturers have realized the need for affordable and efficient solutions to track and trace various applications like retail, supply chain, smart card etc. Chipless RFID tags produce almost equal efficiency at lower cost compared to chip-based RFID. It is more efficient than barcode but not cost competitive. There is an increasing demand for chipless RFID to provide the various solutions like asset tracking, anti-counterfeiting, to avoid the shrink in retail. It also helps to increase the efficiency and make the system more productive. Chipless RFID has ability to provide solutions like anti-counterfeiting which is a universal burning issue for healthcare industry. Supply chain, aviation and public transit segments are going to be benefitted with chipless RFID by creating hassle free operations. Chipless RFID will make smart cards more secure and hence will increase the market penetration of smart cards and so of chipless RFID.
Governments like Nigeria, Singapore, China and U.K. have already mandated RFID in various projects like counterfeiting and citizen identification etc. The Governments mandate provides an extra advantage for growth of chipless RFID.
The report deals with the market trends in chipless RFID and the growth associated with it. It also deals with the various factors which drive and restraint the market in the next five years.

FIGURE 26 KEY GROWTH STRATEGIES
Conventionally RFID has been used mainly for track and trace applications. Chipless RFID is an offshoot of RFID system, which is used for similar function. Chipless RFID is an affordable solution to customers who were reluctant to use RFID due to its high price. Technology advancements to data accuracy and cost-effective solution are driving the growth of the chipless RFID market. Chipless RFID tags expected to see significant growth. The market size of chipless RFID is estimated to be $874 million in 2011 and is expected to reach $3.9 billion with CAGR of 29.3% from 2011 to 2016.
The demand for the chipless RFID market is expected to increase significantly since the price of the chipless RFID tag is expected to reduce up to 1 cent. Chipless RFID is applicable to applications such as retail, supply chain, aviation, healthcare, smart card, public transit, and others. However retail, supply chain, and smart cards are growing at a good pace and expected to provide good growth. U.S., being the pioneer in commercializing RFID technology, is the largest market till today. However looking at the growing economies in Asia-Pacific, it is expected to grow by the highest growth; i.e. 37% of CAGR.
Some of the major players in the chipless RFID market are Texas Instruments (U.S.), Alien Technology (U.S.), Kovio Inc. (U.S.), Impinj Inc. (U.S.), Poly IC (Germany), BASF SE (Germany), Motorola Solutions (U.S), NXP Semiconductor (The Netherlands), Toppan Printing (Japan.) and others.
The chipless RFID market is in introduction phase and has lower market size. In future tags market is expected to grow exponentially. Considering the present economic conditions and the optimistic future conditions, industry players are expected tags to grow at a CAGR of 85%. However the overall market is expected to grow by 29.3%. Despite, chipless RFID is a reliable substitute to the barcode, it can not rule out bar code. Price of bar code is 0.01 cent, where as 1 to 5 cents of chipless RFID tag.
Chipless RFID Market Revenue, by Geography 2010 2016 ($Million)
Source: MarketsandMarkets
The global chipless RFID market is expected to reach $1,087.00 million by the end 2011. This market is expected to reach $3,925.00 million by 2016, at an estimated CAGR of 29.3%. The low cost of chipless RFID, much simpler manufacturing technology than conventional silicon based chips manufacturing and higher data accuracy are major drivers of the market.
The second largest share is held by the readers market and is expected to reach $417.00 million by the end of 2011. This market is expected to reach $1205 million by 2016, at an estimated CAGR of 23.6%. The Chipless tag market is expected to reach $375.00 million with the highest CAGR of 83.5%.
