By far the biggest RFID segment in coming years will be Supply Chain Management. This segment will account for the largest number of tagslabels from 2005 through 2010. Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, has spurred this projected growth by mandating that its top 100 (and, later its top 300) suppliers begin to use RFID.
