Real-Time Location System Market - By Component , By Technology , By Application , By Industry Vertical & Global Region - Market Size, Trends, Share & Forecast 2020-2025
By 2030, it is estimated that around 500 billion devices will be connected all over the globe via the internet. This estimation is upholding on account of the increasing trend of IoT and wearables devices lately, with only improvement and enhancements on the charts to follow. One such emerging system which is increasingly used in industries is the RTLS.
Real-Time Location System (RTLS), also known as real-time tracking system is a technology used to automatically recognize and track the current location of items or persons based on real time through wireless nodes which are usually tags or badges which emit signals. Real-time locating systems applications include fleet tracking, inventory & asset tracking, navigation, personnel tracking, and network security with the use of RFID tags, sensors, readers, and trackers etc.
This technology is mostly used in large building structures or other contained structures and are embedded in products, which include navigational systems and mobile phones. It helps in indoor tracking of moving objects as well when it is supported by a computer application and is accordingly adopted by the healthcare industry vastly.
The global RTLS market is estimated to grow at a highly robust CAGR in the coming years.
Real-Time Location System Market Drivers:
The growth of this market is attributed towards major relying factors which include but are not limited to; the high adoption of RTLS solutions in various industry verticals, governmental sector and in emerging use cases, emergence of innovative startups and market competitiveness, rise in awareness about the benefits of real time location systems, rise in need for asset tracking, proliferation of smartphones, surge in adoption of business analytics solutions, increasing popularity of ultra-wideband technology-based RTLS solutions, rise in security concerns, growing need for contact-tracing solutions due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Additionally, RTLS provides highly accurate real time monitoring, and is immensely useful for tracking patients, equipments and hospital staffs, machines. These also prove to be tremendously handy at the time of emergency evacuation procedures in buildings. All these factors fuel their demand and in turn boost the growth of the market.
Moreover, to lower the risk of workplace accidents, industries such as manufacturing are adopting RTLS as it helps to determine the exact position of forklifts, vehicles, operators and others at specified times also. This makes them massively useful and increasingly desirable by organizations worldwide. Furthermore, factors such as technological advancements and product enhancements by key vendors to offer effective RTLS applications, increasing adoption of RTLS owing to reduced RTLS component prices, benefits such as improved accuracy, operational efficiency and workflow management contribute to the growth of the global real-time location systems market.
However, high initial set up cost and maintenance costs, operational challenges, lack of awareness about RTLS solutions and expert workforce in developing countries, growing privacy concerns, vulnerability to cyber and malware attacks when connected to less secured networks are a few factors which hinder the growth of the market.
