Global UHF RFID tag sales are increasing year by year, with an average annual compound growth rate of 10% from 2017 to 2019

According to the working frequency, RFID can be divided into four categories: low frequency, high frequency, ultra high frequency and microwave, as shown in the figure below. The higher the working frequency, the larger the size of the electronic tag, the faster the reading and writing speed, and the greater the influence from the surrounding environment. In the past, the RFID industry was dominated by high-frequency RFID, but in recent years, with its excellent performance of long-distance high-speed reading and writing, UHF RFID has shown explosive growth in demand in the fields of smart manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, footwear and unmanned retail. It has gradually become the mainstream of the RFID industry.

The UHF RFID frequency bands around the world are different. The frequency bands in the US and Europe are between 902-928MHz and 862-870MHz, respectively.

The UHF RFID frequency bands around the world are different, the United States and Canada are between 902-928MHz, and Europe is between 862-870MHz. China has distribution in the 804-845MHz and 920-925MHz bands, and Japan in the 952-954MHz band.
