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, to register a CAGR of 23.1% from 2020 to 2027.
Radio frequency identification (RFID) without a silicon IC are called chipless RFID. It is an evolving wireless technology for access controls, automatic identifications, 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 with the silicon IC chip in the circuit. Also, the chipless RFID is completely printable and in this way it is resistant to very harsh and 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 sensors in offering low-priced sensors for realizing the universal networks required by the IoT paradigm. A chipless RFID sensors is mainly used for detection of CO2.
The idea of chipless RFID has been created with rivaling barcodes in specific regions of application. Chipless RFID has numerous benefits, such as low cost, easy to use, and others. The barcode provides single feature of ID recovery, but the technology is time-tasted, and widespread.
