A single RFID tag function is very simple, mainly simple ID information, plus some simple state data, and these data need to be written in advance, so RFID is also a passive perception technology, that there is no possibility of passive RFID tags and sensors combined, so that both the use of RFID passive and low-cost advantages, but also to play the sensor active perception of the surrounding environment Information characteristics of the sensor, the answer is yes, that is, sensor tags. Sensor tags are generally RFID + temperature sensors, RFID + humidity sensors, RFID + pressure sensors and other common low-power sensors. If the sensor's working environment in the wireless signal transmission is good, you can RFID chip and the sensor into an IC; if the sensor works in the location of the wireless signal is poor, you can separate the sensor and the RFID chip, through a wire connected to the RFID antenna placed in the wireless signal is good in order to obtain the energy of the environment. Market Summary 1 According to our research information, the current sensor tags are mainly focused on temperature sensors + RFID products, at the technical level, temperature sensors can be in the IC level can show good temperature sensitivity, suitable for use with RFID combination; at the market level, the temperature sensor volume, the current market use of temperature sensors more than 2 billion per year, and application scenarios are very wide, so the temperature sensor with RFID. So combining temperature sensors with RFID is the mainstream of the current market, but industry players are also combining RFID with humidity sensors, pressure sensors, vibration sensors, displacement sensors, etc., and there will be more products in the market in the future. 2 At present, the market shipments of "RFID + sensor" products is not large, but in recent years, the market growth rate is accelerating. 3 with RFID tags, the need for sensors to work with very low power consumption, because the UHF RFID tag antenna can only collect a small amount of power, most of the sensors on the market do not apply to passive mode. 4 "RFID + sensor" tags are currently mainly applied to some of the special needs of the scene, such as the power industry substations have a very high voltage, does not apply to the installation of battery equipment, bearings, hydroelectric generators and other high-speed operation of the scene, but also does not apply to the installation of batteries and so on. These very vertical scenarios for the monitoring of temperature has a strong demand, but the existing programme is difficult to meet, is the RFID temperature sensor products, in addition, in the cold chain transport industry, the need for real-time monitoring of the temperature status of the transported items (such as vaccines), but also more applications.

UHF RFID tags have more applications in the medical field, such as the management of hospital linen, surgical instruments and other high-value product asset management, medical high-value，Consumables (blood bags, pacemakers) and other asset management, etc. In recent years, RFID tags are rapidly developing in the medical field. The hospital system is very large, for RFID and other information technology input needs are relatively strong, excluding the number of large proportion of primary health care institutions (village health clinics,Outpatient clinics, etc.), only a large number of hospitals with a large number of institutions. Market Summary: 1 The demand for fabrics in hospitals is estimated by the amount of 10 pieces of fabrics per bed, and the number of RFID tags needed is about 80 million, and the medical fabrics and restaurant fabrics are two completely different markets. Medical fabrics and liquor shop fabrics are two completely different markets, due to the medical market investment and policy and hospital strategy, not a completely competitive market, and hospitals are very fragmented, and different hospitals have their own hospitals. Very fragmented, different hospitals have different strategies, compared to hotel linen, the shipment is smaller, according to our estimate, the hospital linen annual use of RFID tags, the volume of signing a few million. According to our estimation, the RFID tags used by hospitals annually are in the order of several million. 2 Other medical consumables consume the largest amount of blood bags, which is expected to be ten million levels. 3 From the latest feedback to the information, in addition to the higher value of the items, RFID tags in the medical field is rapidly expanding the application surface, the next few years, it is expected that each year，Medical consumption of RFID tags have hundreds of millions of volume. 4 Pharmaceutical items in foreign countries have begun to try to use RFID tags, used to do anti-counterfeiting traceability, because foreign new drugs are generally patented protection of the years, on the Anti-counterfeiting traceability has a high demand, the market is still in the early stages, after the future outbreak, the market volume is very worth looking forward to. 5 medical market for RFID tags for the current consumption can not be compared with the clothing retail, but the demand for read-write in this area is relatively large, especially for the Cabinet form of read-write demand is particularly obvious, coupled with the system software, the overall calculation, the amount of the project is also relatively substantial. 6 medical field is an important feature of fragmentation, almost every hospital has its own independent system, have their own needs, more than 30,000 hospitals, means more than 30,000 projects, the current state of the market.

There are two main applications of washing labels, one is the washing of hotel linen, the other is the washing of hospital linen, because the application of the medical field will be analysed separately, so this section We will analyse the application in medical field separately, so this part will only analyse the washing of hotel fabrics. The washing of hotels includes the washing of bed sheets, quilt sheets, pillowcases, towels and other items, because of the high cleaning requirements of such items, hotels will be outsourced to enterprises specialised in washing to carry out cleaning. To carry out cleaning, this brings the problem of asset management and inventory, so this also gave birth to the demand for UHF RFID tags in this industry, of course, for the hotel tenants. Of course, for hotel guests, you can also use RFID tags to understand the hotel's cloth is not in the recent time to have cleaned, in order to be more assured that the stay. To assess the market capacity of UHF RFID tags in the hotel laundry industry, we can analyse the number of hotels and rooms in China. According to statistics, by the end of 2022, there will be 312,700 hotels (15+ rooms) with 16,308,500 rooms. According to our research, the number of UHF RFID tags needed for each hotel room is about 30, and thus the number of laundry tags needed for the entire hotel fabric industry is estimated to be about 4.5-5 billion. According to our research, each hotel room needs about 30 UHF RFID tags. Market Summary There are two main business models for hotel fabric washing, one is the hotel as an investor, purchasing RFID tags to manage its own hotel fabric assets; the other is a third-party fabric leasing company, using RFID tags to manage its own fabric assets. The other is a third-party fabric leasing company, which adopts RFID tags for the purpose of asset management and lease settlement. Wash tags are not disposable consumables, but need to be reused, generally a tag needs to be washed hundreds of times, or even more, and wash tags from the chip to the substrate to the encapsulation. Moreover, the washing label is different from ordinary labels from the chip to the substrate to the package, so the price of washing labels is more expensive, generally costing 1-3 yuan. According to our research information, the annual market shipment of washing labels in China is about 20 million, the market penetration is still relatively low, according to the previous results of our calculations, China's hotels and restaurants. According to the results of our calculations, the total capacity of China's hotel market is about 450-500 million labels, a conservative estimate of the proportion of enterprises capable of investing in labels is about 20%, the entire label market capacity is about 100 million labels. The capacity of the entire label market is about 100 million pieces, and the general fabrics need to be replaced in about 3 years, the iteration speed of the label is also the same, so th...

Airport aviation baggage tag is another more concentrated "consumable" market, the field has the Civil Aviation Administration in the promotion, so, RFID tags in the field in recent years, the speed of landing, especially the annual throughput of more than ten million large airports, most of the RFID baggage tags have been used.   In the field of aviation, in addition to baggage, aircraft maintenance tools, aircraft life jackets and other emergency items have begun to popularise RFID tags, although the volume is not as large as baggage, but the performance of the product customization requirements, the value is also relatively high.   Because the main shipments are concentrated in the aviation baggage, we can estimate the capacity of the market from the whole of China's airport passengers.   1 In a normal year, total passenger throughput at China's domestic airports is growing steadily at around 100 million passengers per year, and aircraft are becoming an increasingly common means of travel. Aircraft are becoming an increasingly common means of travel. In the last three years, passenger throughput at airports has fallen considerably due to the impact of the epidemic, particularly in 2022, but data for the first few months of 2023 shows that passenger throughput has recovered to a level close to that of 2023. However, data for the first few months of 2023 shows that passenger throughput has recovered to near pre-Epidemic levels. 2 Throughput is counted in terms of person trips, i.e. a person entering or leaving an airport is counted twice, so if we calculate on the basis of a normal year, when there are about 1.4 billion person trips per year, that's about 700 million people travelling by air, and of those people who need to have baggage checked in and out. Which need to have baggage check-in before using RFID tags, it is expected that 50% of the proportion of the need to check-in baggage, so the entire domestic airport baggage tag annual consumption of about 300-400 million, of course. So, it is calculated that the annual consumption of luggage tags in domestic airports is about 300-400 million, of course, this number will grow with the development of the entire aviation industry, large domestic airports for RFID luggage tags have a high penetration rate, while the penetration rate of small airports is low. At present, the penetration rate of RFID luggage tags in large domestic airports is already very high, while that in small airports is low. Globally, according to the airport traffic before the epidemic, the market potential is about 2-3 billion tags per year. 3 The value to be gained from adopting UHF RFID tags for airport baggage can be seen in the following areas: Value 1: Reduced Baggage Error Payouts According to a report by Aviation Telecom International, back in 2007, there were approximately 18 baggage errors per 1,000 passengers; in 2017, the number of baggage errors per 1,000 passengers was approximately 1,000 per 1,0...

Book archives is another relatively large market, the library market is divided into two parts, one is the public library institutions, the other part is the general universities and colleges in the country, in addition, government agencies and state-owned enterprises and institutions have a large number of total archives. Market Summary: Higher education institutions only count the number of undergraduate and specialised colleges and universities, independent colleges and universities and schools of adult continuing education are not counted. Colleges and universities in China generally have multiple libraries, and based on an average of 2 libraries per institution, the total number of libraries in colleges and universities is expected to be around 6,000, and with the addition of the number of public libraries, the total number is close to 10,000. According to our information, the number of books in libraries varies greatly. Calculating on the basis of an average of 500,000 books per library, large libraries have a collection of about 5 billion books. Of course, apart from large libraries, there are also many special libraries and community libraries, and the overall library collection will be much larger than the figure of 5 billion. In addition, banks, insurance and other financial institutions also have a large number of documents and files that need to be managed, and we estimate that the capacity of the entire library and archive market is about 10 billion pcs or more. UHF China and HF China are used in parallel in the library archive market, with university libraries being dominated by UHF China solutions and public libraries by HF China tags. The library China tag market has maintained good growth every year, and the competition in the library market is much smaller compared to clothing retail, which can maintain good profits. At present, the rfid tags for books and files have an annual market shipment of about 5-10 billion, even if the penetration rate of 100%, there is still a certain amount of new books and files need to be warehoused every year, and a certain amount of old books and files need to be replaced due to wear and tear, and we expect that there will be about 10% of new additions and losses every year, which will still be able to maintain the market for a long time.
