Abstract
Perhaps there has been no wireless technology that has the potential to change the world as much as RFID. This simple technology usually does nothing more than recite a serial number on request. Yet, when combined with other technology such as real-time databases, the technology can reduce costs, eliminate deaths, and allow a bar patron to purchase a drink with nothing more than the wave of a hand.
 
 This RFID tage report investigates the many uses of RFID, looks at the costs of making the tags, and looks at the many issues, including privacy, that can potentially slow the spread of RFID. The report contains estimates and a five-year RFID tag forecast for the number of tags, revenue from tags, and RFID tag semiconductor revenue from tags broken-down into the following segments: livestock, domestic pets, humans, cartons/supply chain uses, pharmaceuticals, large freight containers, package tracking, consumer products, security/banking/purchasing/access control, and other. In addition, there are estimates and forecasts for tag/label ASP for each of these segments.
