- Inventory Management in Retail: RFID tags are largely used in retail stores across the US to improve inventory management processes. By tagging individual items with RFID chips, retailers can track the movement of products live, automate stock recovery, and avoid instances of stockouts or overstocking, which improves operational efficiency, decreases labor costs and improves the overall customer experience by ensuring products are always available when needed.
- Supply Chain Visibility: RFID technology is used throughout the supply chain in many industries, like manufacturing, logistics, & healthcare, among others. In the US, companies use RFID tags to track the movement of goods from production lines to distribution centers to retail stores, which provides members with live visibility into the location & status of shipments for better planning, forecasting, and decision-making.
- Asset Tracking and Management: Many organizations in the US use RFID tags for asset tracking & management purposes. From tracking high-value products like machinery & equipment to managing IT assets like laptops & servers, RFID technology allows companies to accurately locate & monitor their assets throughout their lifecycle, which lowers the risk of loss or theft, optimizes asset usage, and improves maintenance processes.
- Authentication and Anti-counterfeiting: RFID tags are being highly used across the US for product authentication & anti-counterfeiting measures. By placing these chips with unique identifiers into products or packaging, manufacturers can inspect genuine products & detect counterfeit items throughout the supply chain and at point-of-sale, which helps protect brands, ensures product quality & safety, and improves consumer trust and confidence in the authenticity of the goods they purchase.
Market Dynamic
The retail industry is majorly switching to RFID technology to improve supply chain visibility & operational efficiency. With a focus on timely delivery & store effectiveness, RFID provides benefits like low, streamlined inventory management, and increased sales, driving growth in the U.S. RFID tags market. In transportation, efficient systems are critical for economic development, providing social & economic advantages like job creation and better market access. RFID-enabled automatic toll collection improves productivity & customer convenience, making vehicles pass through toll booths smoothly, which is expected to further drive the market growth.
However, the large use of barcode systems creates a challenge to RFID adoption in the U.S., while concerns over privacy policies could also restrain market growth. Further, these obstacles and the benefits of RFID technology in the retail & transportation sectors are expected to drive its constant expansion during the forecast period.
