Global Automotive RFID Market Synopsis
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the Automotive RFID Market. The pandemic led to the temporary shutdown of manufacturing plants, causing delays in the production of RFID components and automotive vehicles. Restrictions on transportation and international trade affected the timely delivery of RFID components and raw materials. The need for contactless solutions grew during the pandemic, leading to increased interest in RFID technology for applications such as keyless entry, toll collection, and automated parking systems. Automotive companies sought ways to improve efficiency and reduce costs, driving the adoption of RFID for inventory management and vehicle tracking. The pandemic accelerated the digital transformation in the automotive industry, leading to a greater emphasis on technologies that can enhance efficiency and reduce human intervention.
Automotive RFID Market Dynamics
The major factors that have impacted the growth of Automotive RFID Market are as follows:
Drivers:
Ø Enhanced Vehicle Security
RFID technology is used in keyless entry systems and vehicle immobilizers, enhancing vehicle security and reducing theft rates. sRFID allows for secure access control in vehicles, ensuring only authorized individuals can start or access the vehicle. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the demand for contactless technologies, including RFID, for applications such as keyless entry, toll collection, and automated parking systems. Advancements in RFID technology, such as increased read range, higher data storage capacity, and enhanced durability, make RFID systems more reliable and efficient. As RFID technology matures, the cost of RFID tags and readers continues to decrease, making it more affordable for widespread adoption in the automotive industry.
Restraint:
- Perception of High Initial Costs
The initial cost of implementing RFID systems, including purchasing tags, readers, and software, can be high, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Upgrading existing infrastructure to support RFID technology can require significant investment, which may be a barrier for some companies. RFID systems can experience interference from metal objects, liquids, and other electronic devices, which can affect the accuracy and reliability of data transmission. Depending on the type of RFID technology used (e.g., low-frequency, high-frequency, ultra-high-frequency), there may be limitations in the read range, impacting the effectiveness of the system.
Opportunity:
⮚     Growing Demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs)
As the demand for electric vehicles increases, there is a growing need for efficient supply chain management. RFID can help track and manage the inventory of EV components, batteries, and raw materials. RFID can be used in EV charging stations for user authentication, payment processing, and tracking charging sessions, enhancing the user experience. RFID technology can support the communication and data exchange needed for autonomous and connected vehicles, contributing to vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. RFID can be used to enhance safety features in autonomous vehicles, such as obstacle detection, traffic signal communication, and pedestrian tracking.
Automotive RFID Market Segment Overview
By Type
Based on Type, the market is segmented based on Active RFID and Passive RFID. The Active RFID segment dominant the market. In automotive manufacturing, active RFID is used to track work-in-progress (WIP) components, tools, and finished vehicles as they move through the assembly line. Active RFID tags are increasingly used in the automotive aftermarket for tracking inventory, managing spare parts, and providing faster service and maintenance operations.
By Vehicle Type
Based on Vehicle Type, the market segment has been divided into the Passenger vehicles and Commercial vehicles. Passenger car’s maximum contribution stemming from APAC. The increasing demand for passenger cars from developed and developing economies has made the segment important for the vehicle radio-frequency identification tag market.
By Frequency
Based on Frequency, the market segment has been divided into the Low frequency and High frequency. The high frequency segment held the largest share of the market. Ultrahigh-frequency RFID tags can be attached to metal products and materials, enabling real-time visibility and automated inventory management. It helps reduce human error, improve inventory, accuracy, and enhance supply chain efficiency.
