RFID has achieved great heights in order to achieve the desired goals of enhancing the inventory accuracy and getting the accurate count. Besides that, the RFID technology can capture more data within a shorter period. As it is not necessary to get a clear view of the inventory all the time, the process of counting requires just a few minutes to be completed. However, using RFID in gathering data over several items helps avoid transcription error, duplicate recording of data and "lost item.”

Connectivity with Cloud and IoT Technologies: The integration of chipless RFID devices with cloud and Internet of Things technologies is yet another emerging trend. This integration boosts the efficiency and accessibility of RFID systems by providing better real-time data collection, remote monitoring, and seamless storage of data. Industries are more and more taking up these integrated solutions to facilitate predictive maintenance, optimize processes, and improve asset management.

North America is currently leading the chipless RFID market, as it has been highly adopted in various fields such as retail, logistics, transportation, and healthcare. With major players present and ongoing technological advancements with an aggressive approach towards automation, supply chain management, and security, North America stands at the top in the market. Another thing is that the region has also been an early adopter of smart cards, contactless payment systems, and digital identification solutions, which further adds to its dominance.
