Chipless RFID Market Statistics, 2027
The global chipless RFID market size was valued at $903.3 million in 2019 and is projected to reach $4,744.0 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 23.1% from 2020 to 2027. Radiofrequency identification (RFID) without a silicon IC is called chipless RFID. It is an evolving wireless technology for access controls, automatic identification, security & surveillance, tracking, database management, logistics, and inventory control. It uses conductive polymers or plastic as a replacement for silicon-based ICs.
The chipless RFID is a breakthrough in overcoming the restrictions of traditional RFID technology as it eliminates the expense related to the silicon IC chip in the circuit. Also, the chipless RFID is completely printable and in this way, it is resistant to very harsh climate conditions. It can also be imprinted on metals & bottles containing fluids. The key advantages of these features grant chipless RFID in extraordinary applications that couldn't be accomplished beforehand with both chipped and barcode RFIDs. A few examples include low-cost item tagging, such as for ID cards, banknotes, drink containers, books, aluminum cans, and customer merchandise. A chipless RFID tag is also used as a chipless RFID sensor in offering low-priced sensors for realizing the universal networks required by the IoT paradigm. A chipless RFID sensor is mainly used for the detection of CO2.
The idea of chipless RFID has been created to rival barcodes in specific regions of application. Chipless RFID has numerous benefits, such as low cost, ease of use, and others. The barcode provides a single feature of ID recovery, but the technology is time-tested and widespread.
The global chipless RFID market is anticipated to witness significant growth throughout the forecast. Factors such as high accuracy, low manufacturing cost, and providing more functions as compared to other alternatives drive the growth of the chipless RFID market. Since all chipless RFID tags within range can be detected instantaneously & checked with data in the system database. Thus, it reduces human error & effort and provides high accuracy. Additionally, chipless RFID technology provides various functionalities such as chipless RFID tags being read/write capable, automated, and uniquely identifying each item or asset, among others. However, initially high capital investment is a major restraint to the global chipless RFID industry. In addition, the growing shift of retailers toward chipless RFID is expected to create opportunities for the
global market.
The global chipless RFID market is segmented into product type, frequency, application, end user, and region. By product type, the market is segmented into tag and reader. The frequency segment is divided into low frequency, high frequency, and ultrahigh frequency. By application, the market is fragmented into smart cards, smart tickets, and others. Depending on the end-user, the market is segregated into retail, healthcare, logistics and transportation, BFSI, and others.
By Product Type
Tag segment is projected as one of the most lucrative segments.
Region-wise, the chipless RFID market trends are analyzed across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (UK, Germany, France, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa). The PAC region is expected to develop at the highest rate during the conjecture time frame. APAC region, specifically China, remains a significant participant in the global supply chain market. organizations in the country are intensely putting resources into the technology, for example, the usage of RFID labels in the logistics sector to improve the production network market in the country. In January 2018, Taocafe, a China-based organization, introduced a smart store, where individuals buy RFID labels connected to the item & can check out via WeChat Pay. Comparable smart stores were opened by Alibaba, JD.com, & Tencent in the China market. In this way, owing to the high adoption of chipless RFID products, in the APAC market indicates a positive effect on the global chipless RFID market.
Leading chipless RFID manufacturer such as Zebra Technologies Corporation, Alien Technology, LLC, Honeywell International Inc., etc., are focusing their investment on technologically advanced, cost-effective, and more secure products for various applications.
By End User
Logistics and Transportation segment is expected to secure leading position during forecast period.
Top Impacting Factors
The prominent factors that impact the chipless RFID market growth are increased efficiency offered by chipless RFID tags, low cost of manufacturing, and a rise in demand for chipless RFID tags in the healthcare & banking sectors. However, data encoding and transmission while designing chipless RFID restricts the market growth. On the contrary, the growing shift of retailers toward chipless RFID & innovation of cloud-based systems is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market. Every one of these elements is expected to affect the development of the global chipless RFID market during the forecast time frame.

Analyst Review
A chipless RFID system is equipped with a planar encoder (characteristically a printed pattern containing the ID code) & an antenna for communication with the reader. Due to low-cost conductive inks, the cost of the tag can be significantly reduced. The chipless RFID system has benefits over conventional sensors due to its lower radiated power, lower cost, robustness, and longer storage life. Alternatively, chipless RFID system provide identification data & monitor several physical parameters of tagged items without having an active sensor in the circuitry.
The global chipless RFID market is anticipated to witness significant growth over the period of forecast. Factors such as high accuracy, low manufacturing cost, and providing more functions as compared to other alternatives drive the growth of chipless RFID market.
