The United States witnessed a strong presence of not only key market players such as Honeywell International, Zebra Technologies, and Avery Dennison Corporation, but also SMEs such as Primera Technology, Star Micronics, Wasp Barcode Technologies, and many more.
Thus, the presence of such key vendors across the country is set to register higher growth for the RFID printers sector during the forecast period.
Currently, the China market accounts for the leading consumption of RFID printers in the Asia Pacific region, and market size is expected to grow 1.6X by 2033. China's RFID printers sector anticipates to expand at the rate of 9% CAGR during the forecast period.
China witnesses significant development in RFID technology due to support, rules and regulation of the Chinese government. China witnessed large projects, such as subway & passport ticket applications and national identification cards. Thus, to get such projects, suppliers must need applications with advanced technologies.
It uses High Frequency (HF) RFID systems that use most of the RFID systems or RFID technology in China. Therefore, adoption of RFID technology by key suppliers in China is ultimately driving the growth for the RFID printers in the China market.
The United Kingdom market is set to report the leading consumption of RFID printers in the Europe region, and market size is expected to grow at a 1.5X rate by 2033. Moreover, the RFID printers in the United Kingdom market are expected to increase by around 7.2% CAGR over the forecast period.
The United Kingdom has been forecast to register a higher growth rate for RFID Printers owing to factors such as rising digital transformation, integration of RFID technology with IoT, and rising need for the efficient supply chain management.
Rising adoption of RFID printing technology like direct thermal and thermal transfer across the country is expected to drive the demand for RFID printers in the United Kingdom.
