IDTechEx has interviewed
key RFID adopters and solution providers in the various applicational
RFID markets. This research has been analysed in a brand new report
giving an unprecedented level of insight into the total RFID industry
and what is really happening. Raghu Das, CEO of IDTechEx, summarizes
some of the findings.
At the start of 2007, the cumulative number of RFID tags sold over
the last 60 years is 3.752 billion. 27% of that number were sold
in 2006 and 19% in 2005, showing how sales have showed a very robust
increase. However, the sale of 1.02 billion RFID tags in 2006 (35%
of those being RFID cards) has been disappointing to those expecting
higher volume sales of versions in the form of labels.
In 2007 IDTechEx expect
that 1.71 billion tags will be sold. The total RFID market value
(including all hardware, systems, integration etc) across all countries
will be $4.96 Billion. By far the biggest segment of this is RFID
cards. For those not involved in that sector, the 2007 market value
for non card RFID (e.g. RFID labels, fobs, tickets etc) will be
$1.97 Billion. Excluding cards, 58.4% of the market in 2007 will
be in the US and 33% in Europe. Consequently, although China, for
the first time, dominates the total RFID business - virtually without
exporting - the USA dominates everything beyond the card part. The
market will rise to $27.88 Billion in 2017. This includes many new
markets that are being created, such as the market for Real Time
Locating Systems using active RFID, which will itself be more than
$6 Billion in 2017.

Data integrity specialists, Datanomic today announced it has signed
a Consulting Partnership with ReStart Consulting, the UK’s number
one provider of data management and data integration solutions in
healthcare. The new partnership will further extend the reach of
both companies into the UK healthcare market, with particular focus
on the Connecting for Health Care Record Service. By 2010 all NHS
trusts will be required to complete the stringent data migration
to the National Programme for Information Technology (NPfIT) Care
Record Service.
The partnership enables Datanomic and ReStart to deliver a ‘one
stop’ solution for effective data management and data integration.
These two areas are invariably cited as inhibitors to success within
the Programme. ReStart Consulting will be using Datanomic’s end-to-end
migration platform and methodology to provide Trusts with a complete
solution to their migration needs from the initial assessment, information
strategy, development and implementation through to rollout and
readiness checks. ReStart also offers a comprehensive project follow-up
programme that is both cost-effective and business-efficient.
“Datanomic and ReStart Consulting are both already actively working
with a number of NHS customers throughout the UK,” said Jonathan
Pell, CEO of Datanomic Ltd. “The combination of our solutions and
respective areas of expertise not only provides NHS Trusts with
a comprehensive solution for data migration, but also builds upon
our market leadership position in the field of NHS Trust data management,
integration and migration.”
dn:Director from Datanomic combines a full suite of data quality
tools within one source that allows the Trusts to audit, transform
and match complex patient data. dn:Director also enables the Trusts
to monitor and police on-going data quality measures throughout
their business including Payment by Results, SUS, Searchable Archiving
and Capacity Planning.
“ReStart Consulting is already established as a preferred supplier
within the NHS Trusts, Strategic Health Authorities and hospitals,”
said Mike Symers, CEO of Restart Consulting. “Datanomic is the platform
of choice for a number of NHS Trusts and its suite of data quality
tools complements our holistic approach to the key data issues that
are confronting the CfH programme at the Trust level.”
