The global real time location systems (RTLS) for healthcare market size reached US$ 2.6 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 10.3 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 16.15% during 2024-2032. The rising need for asset tracking and management, the increasing demand for remote patient monitoring, and various technological advancements represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Real-time location systems (RTLS) are a set of technologies used to automatically identify and track the location of assets, people or objects in real time. They use wireless communication technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth low energy, global positioning system (GPS), and ultrasound to track and locate assets or individuals. It is used in the healthcare industry to improve patient safety, staff efficiency, and asset management. It is also utilized to track medical equipment, monitor patient movements, and ensure that staff members are adhering to proper hygiene protocols. In addition, it is used to optimize workflows, increase efficiency, reduce wait times, and enhance patient satisfaction. Besides this, the data collected by these systems can also be used for analytics, such as identifying bottlenecks, optimizing resource allocation, and improving overall operational efficiency. Owing to these benefits, RTLS systems are widely adopted in the healthcare industry across the globe.
Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) for Healthcare Market Trends:
The market is primarily driven by the increasing need for asset tracking and management. Healthcare organizations are adopting solutions to manage medical equipment, drugs, and supplies. RTLS can provide real-time information on the location and status of assets, improving inventory control and reducing equipment loss. In addition, the growing focus on patient safety represents another major growth-inducing factor. RTLS can improve patient safety by providing real-time information on patient location and movement, reducing the risk of adverse events, and improving response times in emergencies.
