U.S. analyst Baird has noted that retailer Metro in Germany has taken leadership in introducing RFID into general retailing now the Wal-Mart schemes have slowed. However, it is in apparel that we see a huge surge across the world and this is covering everything from tracking the bolts of cloth in the factories to pallets, cases and above all individual items of clothing, where Marks and Spencer is world leader, with approaching 350 million tags used yearly.
