The Vendor Matrix is an
analytical tool developed by ABI Research to provide a clear
understanding of vendors’ positions in specific markets. This Vendor
Matrix evaluates RFID transponder IC manufacturers from
frequency-agnostic vendors to single-frequency offering providers.
According to research director Michael Liard, “This Vendor Matrix is
the first of a series looking at core RFID product categories to
offer an apples-to-apples comparison of direct competitors along the
value chain for RFID solutions.”
Vendors are assessed by ABI Research on the important parameters of
“innovation” and “implementation” across several criteria, unique to
each vendor matrix.
For this particular matrix, under "innovation," ABI Research
examined product innovation, development, and feature sets;
manufacturing innovation; experience/leadership/knowledge transfer;
application strategy and standards-based product innovation; and
breadth of product offerings.
Under "implementation," ABI Research scrutinized the following
criteria: annual volume in addressed/targeted markets with specific
frequencies (LF; HF; and UHF/microwave); share of overall annual
market volume (all frequencies); overall market leadership; vendor
global sales/support capabilities and distribution channels; and the
breadth of vertical and application markets served.
