North America RTLS Market for Healthcare (2024-2029)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the RTLS market for healthcare. Exhaustive secondary research has been done to collect information on the market, peer, and parent markets. The next step has been to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been employed to estimate the total market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation methods were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments. Two sources of information—secondary and primary—have been used to identify and collect information for an extensive technical and commercial study of the RTLS market for healthcare.

Secondary Research

Secondary sources include company websites, magazines, industry news, associations, and databases (Factiva and Bloomberg). These secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, articles by recognized authors, regulatory bodies, trade directories, and databases.

Primary Research

Primary sources mainly consist of several experts from the core and related industries, along with preferred RTLS providers, distributors, alliances, standards, and certification organizations related to various segments of this industry’s value chain.

In the primary research process, various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on the market. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts such as Chief Experience Officers (CXOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), and Directors from business development, marketing, product development/innovation teams, and related key executives from RTLS providers, such as Securitas Healthcare LLC (US), Zebra Technologies Corp. (US), HPE Aruba Networking (US), Impinj, Inc. (US), and TeleTracking Technologies, Inc. (US); research organizations, distributors, industry associations, and key opinion leaders. Following is the breakdown of primary respondents.

Market Size Estimation

Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been used to estimate and validate the total size of the RTLS market for healthcare. These methods have also been used extensively to estimate the size of various subsegments in the market. The following research methodology has been used to estimate the market size:

• Major players in the industry and markets have been identified through extensive secondary research.
• The industry’s value chain and market size (in terms of value) have been determined through primary and secondary research processes.
• All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns have been determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources.

In the top-down approach, the overall market size has been used to estimate the size of the individual market segments (mentioned in market segmentation) through percentage splits from secondary and primary research. For specific market segments, the size of the most appropriate immediate parent market has been used to implement the top-down approach. The bottom-up approach has also been implemented for data obtained from secondary research to validate the market size of various segments.

The bottom-up approach has been used to arrive at the overall size of the RTLS market for healthcare from the revenues of the key players and their market shares. Calculations based on revenues of key companies identified in the market led to the estimation of their overall Industry size.

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the overall market size from the estimation process explained above, the overall market has been split into several segments and subsegments. The market breakdown and data triangulation procedures have been employed, wherever applicable, to complete the overall Industry engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. The data has been triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides. The market has also been validated using both top-down and bottom-up approaches.

Market Definition

Real-time location systems (RTLS) are local positioning and tracking systems used to locate and identify objects/people/targets automatically in real-time, usually for indoor applications such as within buildings or other contained areas. RTLS tags/badges/sensors attached to objects or worn by people communicate wirelessly with readers/trackers/access points installed in the vicinity. An RTLS solution may use different technologies for communication between tags and receivers, depending on the application/use case requirement. Various technologies, such as Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), Ultrasound, Infrared, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), are used for precise locating or tracking applications in real-time.
