"Food safety legislation mandates of national and international governments and organizations become the influential factor behind the concept of food traceability," says Kevin Fitzgerald, BCC Research editorial director.

RFID/RTLS a Booming Segment
RFID/RTLS as a segment has the second highest market with the fastest growth rate of 16.9% in the global market. RFID is quickly becoming the key technology for tagging due to several advantages like durability under harsh environments, long read ranges, sensor capabilities, automated data capture and storage. RFID tags are primarily classified into passive, semi-passive or battery assisted.
"The increased reliability of UHF RFID tags, close to 99.9%, and strong international standards governing passive significant reasons for their growing use," says Fitzgerald. "The market is expected to grow at a higher rate fueled by the growth in supply chain management, speed pass for cashless payments in food retailer’s industry, and animal tracking."
