This report is unique in analysing the use of RFID in the apparel value chain from tagging cloth in manufacture to retail fashion and rented apparel. 138 users and suppliers are profiled. From Chile to Canada and Sweden to Taiwan, there is something to learn from all of them, not just from the unusually broad approach in Germany, Italy, China, Japan and the USA. This industry is on the move in a manner unmatched almost anywhere else in the RFID market.

The Directory of Printed Electronics Suppliers & Researchers

It used to be thought that item level RFID meant little more than tagging very low cost retail items - something to do last of all. However, it has become big business and far more profitable than many other RFID sectors because it gives excellent paybacks. In this report we assess over 100 case studies such American Apparel reporting sales increases by 15% to 25% with item level tagging. Detailed forecasts are given including number of tag units sold over the next ten years, average tag price and tag value, in addition to systems value, resulting in a market worth $8.26 Billion in 2018. It describes the next wave of very large orders - not for what is popularly believed and not where most of the industry predicts it will occur. Get ahead with this unique resource.

There is a great need for profit optimization and careful product positioning and repositioning in the frenetic but unforgiving RFID market that is increasing ten times to become a $26 billion business in 2017. RFID is entering most sectors of corporate, public and private life so understanding how to create enduring profit from such a choice of designs and applications, software, hardware and services, calls for great care and modern management tools.

Everyone agrees that item level tagging is going to be the biggest market for RFID in terms of both spend and number of tags sold. Everyone agrees that item level tagging has its own, special requirements making it different from other categories of RFID such as the tagging of people, animals, pallets, cases and vehicles or RFID in passports, tickets and smart cards. But there the agreement ends...
