The RFID supply chain market in the Asia-Pacific region will experience exponential growth in the next decade. Market forecasts by research firms are all optimistic, with several research papers quoting RFID growth rates of 20% and more between now and 2013. Industry experts predict that the majority of RFID deployments in the Asia-Pacific supply chain will occur in 2009.

With the successful delivery of pilot cases,

  • what invaluable experiences have the pioneering stakeholders gained
  • what's next on the roadmap for EPC/RFID rollout
  • how will the technologies evolve to enable further cost efficiency and interoperability
