Restraining Factors

The large initial investment needed for RFID system adoption and installation is one of the main issues facing the Japanese RFID market. Even while RFID has many long-term advantages, such as increased productivity, precise inventory, and supply chain transparency, many firms may find the initial expenses of implementing RFID technology to be a major deterrent.

Market Segmentation

The Japan RFID market share is classified into type and frequency.

• The tags segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The Japan RFID market is segmented by type into tags, readers, and software & services. Among these, the tags segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is because of their dependability and reduced cost, passive tags are the most commonly utilized of these tags, which are further divided into active, semi-active, and passive categories. Additionally, RFID readers are a crucial component of the system since they allow communication with the tags and collect data for processing and analysis.

• The low frequency (LF) segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The Japan RFID market is segmented by frequency into low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), and ultra-high frequency (UHF). Among these, the low frequency (LF) segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is because of its narrow read range and improved performance in interference-prone areas. Low-frequency RFID devices are frequently employed for asset management, access control, and animal tracking.
