The Booming RFID Business in 2010

(Source IDTechEx Knowledgebase.)

However, most RFID projects in China are kept secret. Today, China probably has more RFID cases than the UK though not as many as the USA. Indeed, although the UK Government was planning to place the world's largest RFID order - for a $5-15 billion national ID card scheme, this has now been cancelled. In market value, China rivals the USA because it has many large projects. For example, it installs more library tags than the rest of the world combined. In some years, China rivals the USA in money spent on RFID, depending on which major project is kicking in at the time. For example, with 150 million pet dogs and 1.2 billion pigs slaughtered yearly, new laws in such areas will have a big impact on the RFID market.
