With the Beijing Olympics just around the corner, it’s no wonder every research house on the block is thinking about the RFID industry’s potential.

Most recently, RNCOS published a report named, “RFID: Outlook China” that discusses the current and anticipated market for RFID technology in China.

The report explains the government policies and the approach government takes towards RFID. It analyses the various applications of RFID in China and the state of RFID industry in China. It also counts the ways in which the forthcoming 2008 Olympics has given a major boom to the RFID industry in China.
