The real time location system in healthcare market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The real-time location system in healthcare market has seen exponential growth in recent years. It will grow from $3.19 billion in 2024 to $3.9 billion in 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.3%.
This expansion is due to the rising demand for asset tracking, an increased focus on workflow optimization, enhanced patient safety needs, the growing emphasis on patient security, and government initiatives to modernize healthcare systems.
The real time location system in healthcare market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The real-time location system (RTLS) market in healthcare is expected to grow exponentially, reaching $8.62 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 22.0%.
Factors contributing to this growth include the growing global population, rising patient numbers, increased demand for better patient care and safety, adoption of RTLS technology, and rising healthcare spending. Trends include improved tracking of medical equipment, technology investments, integration of AI and machine learning, and advancements like Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology.
The surge in cancer patients is anticipated to boost the expansion of the real-time location systems in the healthcare industry. Cancer patients are those diagnosed with the condition characterized by abnormal cell growth and spread. This swelling patient demographic is attributed to aging, lifestyle choices, genetic susceptibility and healthcare access. Real-time location systems (RTLS) bring in efficiency, coordination and a patient-oriented care model, enhancing the overall healthcare experience for cancer patients. As per National Institutes of Health (NIH) data, a US government agency, there are projected to be approximately 18.1 million cancer survivors in May 2024, accounting for roughly 5.4% of the population in 2022. This figure is forecasted to rise 24.4% to 22.5 million by 2032 and further accelerate to 26.0 million by 2040. Consequently, this escalating patient count is propelling the expansion of the real-time location system in the healthcare sector.
