Methodology
The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the real-time location systems (RTLS) market in manufacturing & automotive . Exhaustive secondary research has been conducted to gather information on the market, adjacent markets, and the overall RTLS landscape. These findings, along with assumptions and projections, were validated through primary research involving interviews with industry experts and key stakeholders across the value chain. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were utilized to estimate the overall market size. Subsequently, market breakdown and data triangulation techniques were applied to determine the sizes of various segments and subsegments. Two key sources, secondary and primary, were leveraged to conduct a comprehensive technical and commercial assessment of the RTLS market.
Secondary Research
Various secondary sources have been referred to in the secondary research process to identify and collect important information for this study. The secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers; journals and certified publications; and articles from recognized authors, websites, directories, and databases. Secondary research has been conducted to obtain key information about the industry’s supply chain, the market’s value chain, the total pool of key players, market segmentation according to the industry trends (to the bottom-most level), regional markets, and key developments from market- and technology-oriented perspectives. The secondary data has been collected and analyzed to determine the overall market size, further validated by primary research.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research was conducted after gaining knowledge about the current scenario of the RTLS market through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with experts from the demand and supply sides across four major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and RoW. This primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephone interviews.

Market Definition
A real-time location system (RTLS) is designed to automatically detect, identify, and track the position of objects, individuals, or targets within a defined area with high precision. These systems typically comprise location tags or badges affixed to assets or worn by personnel, a network of readers, sensors, or access points strategically deployed across the facility, and a centralized software platform that processes and visualizes location data in real time. RTLS components communicate wirelessly, leveraging a range of enabling technologies such as radio-frequency identification (RFID), Wi-Fi, ultrasound, infrared (IR), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), or global positioning systems (GPS) to accurately determine movement and positioning. The core objective of RTLS is to deliver continuous visibility and situational awareness across sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, and transportation. By providing real-time tracking of high-value assets and personnel, RTLS helps organizations improve operational efficiency, ensure safety compliance, prevent loss or theft, streamline workflow, and optimize resource utilization, making it a critical tool for data-driven decision-making in dynamic operational environments.
