“The report on the data center RFID market focuses on various solutions, services, verticals, and end users. North America, Europe, and APAC are the top three regions that are estimated to hold the largest market shares in the year 2015. Manual handling and managing of assets in a data center is no longer an easy job and requires effective management, which fuels the demand for RFID technology in data center management. The use of RFID in data center enables tracking, identifying, and managing of data center assets such as servers, routers, cabinets, and other IT assets more accurately. It increases efficiency and productivity by decreasing the manual workforce which can be used for other vital tasks in an organization. The global market for data center RFID is expected to depict a growing picture in the coming years and the increasing number of data centers in Asia-Pacific is expected to accelerate the growth of the data center RFID market.
The various factors driving these markets are also described in the regional sections of the report. Apart from the regional analysis, the trends of the component markets and reasons for the rise in the market size of a particular solution and segment market have also been describe. The report ends with the competitive landscape highlighting the recent mergers and acquisitions (M&A), venture funding, and product developments that have happened in the industry in the recent past; the company profiles section highlights the players’ dominance in this market and their strategies for expansions, to gain larger market share in the data center RFID market.
