Europe is an interesting territory for RFID. So far, it lacks the huge orders in the USA, with two $0.5 billion projects currently being serviced there, and in China with the huge card and library schemes. However, it is advancing on a very broad front. Its recent enlargement with many new countries, has delayed the livestock RFID laws by two years but that compares with no prospect of laws to RFID tag livestock in the USA. In Europe, that has delayed a $0.6 billion market on the back of those laws but expansion of Europe is ultimately creating a huge market for RFID in general. Meanwhile, Italy, for example, from doing virtually nothing beyond the postal service, now has well over 50 RFID projects on the go and other European countries are also strongly increasing their activity. If the UK national ID card scheme goes ahead at $10 billion it will even set a world record for RFID".
