E Ink Will Focus on Smart Tags in 2017

December 11, 2016 By Michael Kozlowski 4 Comments

E Ink derives 70% of their revenue from e-paper display screens found on popular e-readers such as the Kindle and Kobo e-readers. In order to facilitate further growth, the company is going to be heavily focusing on smart tags for luggage and the retail sector.

In 2017 E Ink is expecting to ship between 30 million and 40 million units of smart e-tags, with more than half of those ordered primarily by European retailers, which are gradually replacing paper shelf labels with electronic versions.

“The growth momentum is to extend into next year,” E Ink official F.Y. Gan said. “The biggest growth is expected to come from the US and China. Some large-scale retailers are testing our smart tags at their stores and could begin to adopt them sometime next year.”

    wow. I wonder how long it will take to provide with them all markets in US.

    I’m not sure it will be right way for the economy. It’s one thing when consumption of paper is regulated by government and quite another, when it comes to private entrepreneurs, so it is mostly like a bet on their generosity and openness to digital technologies. People in most always thinks of their own interest, if you want to make sure I’m right, just don’t be lazy and look for some info on research resources: http://bigassignments.com/
