Research Report on Chinese Internet of Things Industry, 2010-2012

Internet of things, also called sensor network, uses information sensing equipments such as radio frequency identification (RFID), sensor, global positioning system (GPS) and laser scanner to connect things with the Internet based on the given agreement to carry out information interchange and communications, realizing intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, monitoring and management. Internet of things involves numerous technologies such as radio frequency (RF), integrated circuit, communications, computer, software, system integration and Internet. As to the universality, only through the collaborative development of the above six technologies, the elimination of barriers among various industries and large scale and multi-industry application can realize the broad sense Internet of things. RFID is the most important and essential technology for Internet of things.

 

 

RFID is the most important technology foundation for Internet of things. However, it develops extremely slowly in recent 1-2 years. The global RFID market scale was about USD 6 billion in 2008. The growth rate in 2008 was reduced significantly compared with the high growth rates in the past few years.

 

 

The high-speed development of Chinese RFID market in past few years benefits from two factors: the original market is of small scale, so the relevant project construction in a region can arouse the rapid reaction of the market; it is stimulated by governmental projects prominently, which is also the most obvious characteristic of Chinese RFID market. If ID card is included in the RFID market, Chinese ID card project started since 2005 can be regarded as the world largest RFID application project. Thanks to the implementation of the second generation ID card project, Chinese RFID market still saw a high-speed growth in 2007 after the explosive growth in 2005 and 2006. Besides, Chinese transportation informationization construction has also provided opportunities for RFID in the transportation field. RFID technology has been applied in electronic admission tickets of Beijing Olympic Games, National Games, Shanghai World Expo, etc. However, due to the gradual saturation of the broad ID card market and the lack of large projects to drive the overall market growth, the growth rate of Chinese RFID market was reduced for the first time in 2008. 

 

Based on the network structure, Internet of things is a distributed system to connect numerous RFID application systems through Internet and identify things in the wide area network. Chinese Internet of things still stays in the concept introduction stage while the market development is limited in its branches such as RFID, sensor and MEMS, etc. There is a long way to go to realize the collaborative cooperation of these technologies to form a gigantic Internet of things. Chinese Internet of things industry will only enter the high-speed development stage after 3-5 years.
