The research study involved 4 major activities in estimating the size of the RFID market. Exhaustive secondary research has been done to collect important information about the market and peer markets. The validation of these findings, assumptions, and sizing with the help of primary research with industry experts across the value chain has been the next step. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been used to estimate the market size. Post which the market breakdown and data triangulation have been adopted to estimate the market sizes of segments and sub-segments.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources have been referred to for identifying and collecting information required for this study. The secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, investor presentations of companies, white papers, and articles from recognized authors. Secondary research has been mainly done to obtain key information about the market’s value chain, the pool of key market players, market segmentation according to industry trends, regional outlook, and developments from both market and technology perspectives.
In the RFID market report, the global market size has been estimated using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches, along with several other dependent submarkets. The major players in the market were identified using extensive secondary research, and their presence in the market was determined using secondary and primary research. All the percentage shares splits, and breakdowns have been determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research has been conducted after understanding the RFID market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with key opinion leaders from both demand- and supply-side vendors across 4 major regions—North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. Approximately 25% of the primary interviews have been conducted with the demand-side vendors and 75% with the supply-side vendors. Primary data has been collected mainly through telephonic interviews, which consist of 80% of the total primary interviews; questionnaires and emails have also been used to collect the data.
After successful interaction with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings of our primary research. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the report.
Note: “Others” includes sales, marketing, and product managers

RFID Market : Top-Down and Bottom-Up Approach
Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall market size by the market size estimation process explained in the earlier section, the overall RFID market has been divided into several segments and subsegments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments, the data triangulation and market breakdown procedures have been used, wherever applicable. The data has been triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply side perspectives. Along with data triangulation and market breakdown, the market has been validated by top-down and bottom-up approaches.
Market Definition
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information and are either active, powered by a battery, or passive, by the signal of the RFID reader. There are three main parts of an RFID system: a tag, a reader, and a software system for data processing. This technology allows for efficient collection and management of data, greatly reducing human effort and error. RFID technology is applied in many industries, such as retail, logistics & warehousing, healthcare, aerospace & defense, and automotive. In retail, it is used in managing the inventory, preventing theft, and optimizing the supply chain. It enhances tracking and tracing in the logistics sector. In the healthcare sector, it is applied in patient tracking, equipment management, and drug authentication. The growth in the RFID market is heavily dependent on factors like automation, real-time data visibility, and upgrading the tracking system. The key benefits associated with it include tiny size for RFID tags, maximum range of reading, IoT-based, and cloud integration. In the near future, further research and development about the technology are expected to explore new applications and strengthen RFID technology in modern industrial as well as commercial practices.
