Wi-Fi RFID Tag Market to Grow More than 100% Annually
Despite some hurdles to overcome, Wi-Fi RFID tag shipments will grow at over 100% annually through 2010, reports In-Stat. The technology is attractive because Wi-Fi RFID allows businesses to leverage their existing Wi-Fi investments for asset tracking, the high-tech market research firm says.
"Historically, one of the key weaknesses of this market has been the short battery life of asset tags," says Daryl Schoolar, In-Stat analyst. "G2 MicorSystems, the only tag-specific chip vendor, has made strides in overcoming this weakness, with multi-year battery life now a reality."
Recent research by In-Stat found the following:
- AeroScout shipments accounted for the majority of all Wi-Fi RFID tags in 2006
- 2006 worldwide Wi-Fi RFID tag shipments reached 135,000
- Key verticals for growth will be healthcare, heavy manufacturing, transportation, and logistics

It contains forecasts for worldwide Wi-Fi RFID tag shipments and revenue, worldwide PCs embedded with Wi-Fi, and worldwide enterprise wireless access point shipments through 2011.
