Active RFID Becomes Big Business

"With a new initiative projected to sell one billion active RFID tags in the next five years the active RFID market looks set to increase massively before the end of the decade. The IDTechEx RFID Knowledgebase (http://www.rfidbase.com) gives unique insight into major changes in the RFID market. The number of case studies involving active RFID has risen 3% in the last year but this disguises the fact that the best selling type - car clickers - shows marginal increases but other applications have grown strongly. Last year's 121 applications have now risen to 210 and the rapid growth continues." Source: prnewswire.com
