The Application of Auto-ID Technology Grows at Top Speed in China

China Auto-ID technology field has already begun to take shape for more than ten years of development, among them bar code technology as a kind of ripe Auto-ID technology is not merely used in the field of commerce extensively, but also in such fields as E-government, E-commerce, logistics service and military management, etc. Up to the end of 2004, number of bar code system members has already developed into over 100,000, the products that use bar code labels exceed 1 million kinds, bar code scan shops (POS) spread to odd ten thousand and a large quantities of chain stores & distribution centers emerge in all parts. According to the statistics of Authoritative organizations of foreign countries: the bar code market scale of our country increases at the speed of 35% for every year and China has already become the fastest developing country in the world.

In the future 5 years, the bar code technology in China Auto –ID technology field will put out one yard of standards of making with independent intellectual property right, and cooperate with " China Bar Code Advanced Projects " in such a lot of fields as E-government, E-commerce, manufacturing industry (the clothing, medicine, mechanical accessories), modern logistics service industry, military affairs, etc. then advance the bar code technology in a more cost-effective manner. RFID technology will finish the test of application Frequency with the quickening of the standardized process, and set up the experimental units of application in different business and fields, then move forward progressively. Various kinds of Auto-ID technology will regard EPC as the center, and form the pattern which used in such technology integration as bar code, RFID, ERP, etc.

The Application of RFID Technology Grows at Top Speed in China

Venture Development Corporation (VDC) forecast indicated that the worldwide market potential for RFID technology is expected to reach $4.57 billion by 2007. DATAMONITOR forecast a $5-20 billion European market for intelligent tags and their equipment in the year of 2005, including the UK. Frost and Sullivan see a $10 billion global market for RFID and EAS systems in 2005. All the leading industry analysts see double digit growth of RFID markets by value over the next few years, 35 percent yearly being a conservative figure.

By the advantage of Wal-Mart Popularizing RFID technology, the international giant—IBM began to pay attention to RFID in China – the biggest market, every domestic company and scientific research group also set foot in RFID field one after another, then make great effort to gain the first chance in the market in the future. In the year of 2005, numerous Domestic scientific research institutions and companies have started such substantive input as the fund, technology, etc. In a word, RFID technology has got the extensive concern in China.

A market research of top 500 business by China Association for Standardization and China EPC Working Group has concluded that 3 billion RFID tags will be used annually, among which electronics consumer Goods need 8.3 million labels, cigarette products need 0.8 billion labels, alcohol and beverages need 0.13 billion labels, IT products need 1.3-1.4 billion labels. Therefore, RFID technology has tremendous market potential.
