According to data released by the United Nations, global e-commerce sales reached 26.7 trillion US dollars in 2020, accounting for 19% of global retail sales, and it is still in a trend of rapid development. In the past decade or so, industries such as 3C and clothing, which are closely related to the daily lives of residents, have been highly e-commerce.

Compared with traditional retail operations, e-commerce is obviously more convenient and transparent, and is not restricted by region and time. This is why it can subvert traditional consumption patterns so quickly.

Behind the rise of e-commerce, the number of freight and transportation distances have increased substantially. Therefore, under such pressure, the traditional management of goods circulation is obviously unbearable, and new technologies and management models must be introduced to match the needs of the market. Among them, the advantages of RFID technology in data collection have attracted more and more people's attention.

On the one hand, the rapid development of e-commerce worldwide, on the other hand, the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic has greatly accelerated the application of non-contact data collection and management methods. According to research conducted by the RAIN Alliance on a global scale, the sales of RAIN RFID tags and reader technology have achieved significant growth in 2020, and the global sales of ICs have increased from about 18 billion in the previous year to 21 billion.

The core of RFID is actually data. These data can enter almost every link, including production, warehousing logistics, retail, and so on. E-commerce has promoted the innovation of the industrial chain, the most critical part of which is digitization.

From the perspective of the global market, there is still huge room for growth in e-commerce. E-commerce has brought about changes in the relations of production. It has not only changed the relations of production and trade, but also greatly changed the consumption patterns of residents in the past. With the continuous improvement of RFID application maturity, it will also play a greater value in the field of e-commerce.
