Industry Overview

Global RFID cards market was estimated to be worth USD 7,002.4 million in 2024 and is projected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5% from 2024 to 2035 to reach USD 18,452.4 million. Examples of radio-frequency identification cards are corporate access cards and metro fare cards. Its passive wireless communication with reader devices, which transmits data to linked systems, enables cashless payments, identity verification, and access control.

A primary driver of the worldwide RFID cards market is the need for improved supply chain visibility and efficiency, as RFID facilitates this process through automatic monitoring and instant information gathering. The retail sector utilizes RFID for effective stock management that minimizes shrinkage and maintains inventory precision. Legislative requirements on product traceability particularly in the food and drug industries are driving usage too. Innovations have rendered RFID technology both affordable and dependable while healthcare plus pharmaceutical sectors are employing it to monitor drugs as well as patients thereby enhancing service delivery.

High initial implementation costs, especially for SMEs, hinder widespread adoption. Privacy and data security concerns, particularly in healthcare and payments, raise regulatory and consumer trust issues. Competition from cheaper alternatives like barcodes and NFC further limits the use of RFID cards. A lack of skilled professionals and low awareness in developing regions delays deployment. Additionally, global supply chain disruptions and raw material shortages are increasing costs and delaying RFID projects worldwide.

The combination of RFID with AI and IoT technologies is enabling smart automation. Smaller and low-cost RFID tags are being developed, making implementation more feasible. New applications in smart farming and ongoing expansion in emerging economies are expected to unlock significant potential for the RFID market in the coming years.

Industry Segmentations

The global RFID cards market is categorized based on type into passive RFID cards and active RFID cards.

In terms of frequency, the global RFID cards market is divided into low frequency, high frequency, ultra-high frequency.
