The global RTLS market in the healthcare sector was valued at around USD 210 million in 2016 and is expected to surpass USD 1,6250 million by 2021, says Technavio.

Technavio has announced its latest market research report on the global RTLS market in the healthcare sector, under its machine-to-machine (M2M) and connected devices portfolio. This market analysis discusses the major drivers and key emerging trends and offers an analysis of key vendors like AiRISTA, HP, STANLEY Healthcare, and Zebra.

According to Abhishek Sharma, a lead analyst for machine-to-machine (M2M) and connected devices research at Technavio, “The cost of RFID tags is declining exponentially owing to rise in its adoption and intensifying competition in the market space. In 2014, the price of RFID tags had declined to 30%-40% as compared with the cost in 2012.”

Passive RFID inlays (such as dry inlays, wet inlays, and paper face tags) are the low-priced RFID tags. When the demand is in bulk, the buyer gets more concessions depending on the volume. As a result, more SMEs and hospitals are implanting RTLS solutions for various application spurred by the rapid decline in the cost of RFID tags.
