Market Size
Â
The global Wi-Fi RFID Reader market was valued at approximately USD 2,374 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 4,514 million by 2031, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.9% during the forecast period.
Â
Â
Â
The growth trajectory highlights an increasing adoption of wireless technologies and automation across industries. Historical data from 2020 to 2023 shows a steady increase in demand, driven primarily by logistics automation and smart inventory systems.
Â
Notably, while specific figures for the U.S. and China in 2024 are not provided, both countries are expected to be key contributors to global growth, given their substantial investments in digital infrastructure and supply chain modernization. Furthermore, the LF RFID Reader segment is anticipated to witness significant expansion by 2031, underscoring its continued relevance in applications that require short-range and low-frequency identification.
Â
Wi-Fi RFID Reader is a type of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reader that connects to a wireless network (Wi-Fi) to facilitate remote access and real-time data transfer. Unlike traditional wired RFID readers, Wi-Fi RFID readers eliminate the need for physical connectivity, providing greater flexibility in deployment and use. These devices read data from RFID tags—electronic labels containing unique identification information—and transmit this data wirelessly to centralized systems for processing. They are widely used in sectors like logistics, retail, manufacturing, and government due to their efficiency, mobility, and scalability.
