According to Business Market Insights’ research, the North America real-time location systems market was valued at US$ 2,060.36 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 13,886.82 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 26.9% from 2023 to 2031. Growing use of RTLS in the healthcare sector and growing e-commerce sector are among the critical factors attributed to drive the North America real-time location systems market growth.
In the healthcare sector, RTLS is used to maintain patient safety and provide great experience and satisfaction. The technology can assist in tracking patient flow for throughput management, which can further help recognize and address bottlenecks. It can also help find solutions for problems such as long waiting times; overcrowding in emergency rooms, outpatient clinics, and post-anesthesia care units; delay or rescheduling of surgeries; and shortage of beds for patients. RTLS technology is used in everyday operations or emergencies at hospitals to locate hospital assets such as beds, equipment, wheelchairs, and others quickly and reliably. In emergencies and when the hospital is nearing capacity, RTLS can help notify the availability of a bed when a patient is discharged. Through this, hospitals can achieve up to 50% faster bed turnover times. In addition, the technology can assist in keeping track of medical devices such as IV pumps, ICU ventilators, and defibrillators to ensure their availability when needed, thus helping to save the lives of critical patients. Furthermore, by using RTLS, patients or staff members can be tracked. For instance, patients suffering from mental distress who must be watched closely can be easily tracked through RTLS technology if they wander away from their treatment area or into other parts of the facility. The RTLS-embedded solution will send an alert whenever patients cross a virtual boundary into an unauthorized area. It can provide a high level of security for patients and reduce the time of staff members, which should be devoted to directly monitoring these patients. As the RTLS technology can help track assets and patients, its demand is expected to increase in the healthcare sector during the forecast period. Additionally, SLAM technology could significantly enhance the effectiveness of the RTLS in healthcare. By using SLAM, hospitals can improve the precision of indoor navigation and asset tracking, even in complex environments with limited GPS access. SLAM enables real-time mapping and location tracking, allowing healthcare providers to monitor the movement of patients, staff, and medical equipment more accurately. As SLAM improves the accuracy and reliability of RTLS, its integration into healthcare systems is expected to drive the demand for real-time location tracking solutions, improving patient care and operational efficiency.
