세계의 헬스케어용 실시간 위치추적 시스템(RTLS) 시장 예측(-2030년) : 제공, 기술, 용도, 최종사용자, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) for Healthcare Market is accounted for $2.35 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $6.74 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 18.6% during the forecast period. Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) in healthcare refer to technologies that enable the tracking and monitoring of the location of medical equipment, personnel, patients, and other assets in real-time within a healthcare facility. RTLS play a crucial role in infection control by monitoring the movement of healthcare staff and identifying potential points of contact between patients and medical professionals. It enhances operational efficiency, improve patient care, and meet regulatory requirements.

According to the World Health Organization, the global shortage of healthcare workers could reach 10 million by 2030.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising healthcare costs

Healthcare facilities often face challenges in managing and locating medical equipment, which can lead to increased costs due to equipment loss, downtime, or the need for additional inventory. RTLS can help streamline asset management by providing real-time information on the location and status of equipment, potentially reducing the financial impact associated with equipment-related issues. By optimizing the use of resources and reducing inefficiencies, healthcare organizations may aim to control costs.

Restraint:

Privacy and security concerns

RTLS systems often involve the tracking of individuals or assets, raising concerns about invasion of privacy. People may be uncomfortable with the idea of being constantly monitored, and this discomfort can lead to resistance in adopting RTLS solutions. There is also a risk of the collected location data being misused for purposes other than the intended ones. Therefore, concerns about privacy and security can erode public trust in the technology and impede the market expansion.

Opportunity:

Rising telemedicine & remote patient monitoring

The growth of telemedicine and remote patient monitoring has led to an increased demand for healthcare services that can be delivered remotely. With the expansion of telemedicine, there's a need to track mobile medical equipment, devices, and even personnel in real-time to ensure efficient and effective healthcare delivery. RTLS can play a crucial role in tracking patients, especially in scenarios where remote monitoring is necessary. Integration of RTLS with electronic health records (EHR) systems becomes more critical with the growth of telemedicine. It leads to increased collaboration and innovation in the market.

Threat:

Integration complexities

Integrating RTLS with existing infrastructure, such as Wi-Fi networks, RFID systems, or other communication technologies, can be complex. Managing power consumption and integrating with power management systems is critical to ensuring the longevity of device operation without frequent battery replacements. Also, scalability is a common challenge, especially in large and dynamic environments. Further, factors such as network latency, security concerns, customization for industry-specific needs and data interoperability also impede the market growth.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on healthcare sector. The need for efficient tracking of medical equipment and assets became more critical during the pandemic. Hospitals and healthcare facilities experienced an increased demand for RTLS to monitor the location and status of equipment such as ventilators, infusion pumps, and personal protective equipment (PPE). The demand for RTLS solutions in healthcare saw growth during the pandemic, driven by the urgent need for improved tracking and monitoring capabilities. This growth is expected to continue as healthcare systems prioritize technologies that enhance efficiency, safety, and responsiveness to future healthcare challenges.

The inventory/asset tracking & management segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The inventory/asset tracking & management segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. RTLS play a crucial role in healthcare, particularly in the area of inventory and asset tracking and management for inventory visibility, asset management, patient flow and workflow optimization. RTLS ensures compliance with regulatory requirements by providing accurate records of the movement of these items. Further, the implementation of RTLS in healthcare for inventory and asset tracking and management brings about operational efficiencies, cost savings, regulatory compliance, and enhanced patient care, ultimately contributing to the overall effectiveness of healthcare delivery.

The emergency medical services segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The emergency medical services segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period. RTLS help to monitor the real-time location of ambulances, ensuring that the nearest available vehicle is dispatched to an emergency. In emergencies, it allows healthcare providers to quickly locate patients, whether they are in the emergency room, operating room, or other areas of the facility. RTLS provides a record of the movement of patients, ambulances, and personnel, aiding in compliance with regulations and standards. It also facilitates documentation for billing and reporting purposes.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the rising adoption of healthcare technologies. The growing manufacturing sector in China is generating massive demand for RTLS solutions to improve operational efficiency and lower operational costs by tracking equipment, goods, materials, work orders, assembly lines, and distribution in manufacturing facilities, which is anticipated to drive market growth in the country. In addition, the high adoption of RTLS technologies in Japan, South Korea, China, and Australia is expected to drive the RTLS market in Asia Pacific for the healthcare vertical.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to rising patient population and increasing penetration of internet. The healthcare industry is booming in emerging economies of the world, i.e., India and China. The growing adoption of Industry 4.0 and IoT in manufacturing in the Asia-Pacific region has fuelled the implementation of RTLS systems. The healthcare, transportation and logistics, industrial production, government, and defense industries are at the edge of radio technology-based RTLS implementation. The rising adoption in several verticals is boosting the market demand.
