Radio frequency identification technology mainly uses alternating magnetic fields or electromagnetic fields to realize information communication, so as to realize the identification of targets. RFID tags contain RFID IC, and use RFID radio frequency identification as the basic technology to complete data storage, reading and other operations, and the data is stored in the RFID chip.RFID IC are divided into three main radio frequency ranges: low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF). UHF is generally a frequency between the frequency band (860-960MHz). UHF RFID frequency bands vary around the world, ranging from 902-928MHz in the United States and Canada, and between 862-870MHz in Europe. China is distributed in the 804-845MHz and 920-925MHz frequency bands, and Japan is between 952-954MHz.
In terms of shipment volume, RFID is the most widely used IoT technology: those who are concerned about IoT should have heard of such numbers from major research institutions: the number of IoT connections will reach tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, and connectivity is the foundation of commercial value. Based on these massive IoT connections, a market worth millions of dollars will be derived. In terms of shipment volume, the current global annual consumption of RFID tag products exceeds 20 billion, and with the continuous growth of ultra-high frequency RFID, this number is still increasing. RFID, as a consumable, has a stable market and broad prospects. To evaluate the potential of a market, it is necessary to clarify whether it is a stock market or an incremental market. If it is a stock market, it means that the market is becoming increasingly saturated and market opportunities will gradually shrink; The incremental market means that the market is continuously growing and has great potential. For example, in recent years, the application fields such as cameras, smart water meters, and smart gas meters that have been widely installed in cities have experienced explosive growth in the early years. However, when the market penetration is relatively high, the growth will be weak. Objectively speaking, this is a problem that all enterprise level applications will face. To maintain the relative stability of the market, it is necessary to make it an incremental market with consumer categories, and RFID electronic tags have the attribute of consumables, especially in the fields of shoes and clothing, supermarket retail, aviation luggage tags, etc. Electronic tags are disposable consumables. This market is not only stable, but also has a large market capacity.The global market for semiconductor was estimated at US$ 579 billion in the year 2022, is projected to US$ 790 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period. Although some major categories are still double-digit year-over-year growth in 2022, led by Analog with 20.76%, Sensor with 16.31%, and Logic with 14.46% growth, Memory declined with 12.64% year over year. The microprocessor (MPU) and microcontroller (MCU) segments will experience stagnant growth due to weak shipments and investment in notebooks, computers, and standard desktops. In the current market scenario, the growing popularity of IoT-based electronics is stimulating the need for powerful processors and controllers. Hybrid MPUs and MCUs provide real-time embedded processing and control for the topmost IoT-based applications, resulting in significant market growth. The Analog IC segment is expected to grow gradually, while demand from the networking and communications industries is limited. Few of the emerging trends in the growing demand for Analog integrated circuits include signal conversion, automotive-specific Analog applications, and power management. They drive the growing demand for discrete power devices.
