Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Indoor Location Market

The ultra-wideband (UWB) indoor location market is projected to reach USD 4.94 billion by 2030, from USD 1.65 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 24.5%. The use of UWB in indoor location has become the standard for high-precision tracking, with vendors moving beyond hardware to offer full-stack real-time location systems (RTLS). These solutions provide centimeter-level accuracy for wayfinding, autonomous navigation, and advanced analytics, often integrated into Digital Twins to optimize complex workflows in manufacturing and healthcare.

Zebra (US), Ubisense (UK), Kinexon (Germany), Sewio (Czech Republic), and Pozyx (Belgium) are the key players operating in the UWB indoor location market. Notably, Zebra leverages its MotionWorks platform for massive scale, while Ubisense pioneers the SmartSpace concept to automate industrial processes through its Digital Process Twin. Kinexon maintains leadership with its wireless RTLS Mesh for rapid deployment, Sewio drives high ROI via deep ERP/WMS integration, and Pozyx focuses on scalability through hybrid UWB/BLE offerings. This collective push toward standardization and interoperability is significantly lowering the total cost of ownership, transforming UWB from a niche industrial tool into a must-have technology across the global supply chain.

Zebra

Zebra is a leading player in the UWB indoor location market because it turns physical movement into digital data with its MotionWorks platform. Unlike some rivals who only sell tags, the company offers a complete, tough system built for harsh environments. It uses active tracking to locate valuable assets with amazing precision, down to a few centimeters. Its strength is in heavy industries such as manufacturing and logistics. It tracks everything from car parts on an assembly line to pallets in a giant warehouse, ensuring nothing gets lost or delayed. This approach solves the complexity of managing separate systems for different tasks, giving customers a single, clear view of their entire operation.

Kinexon

Kinexon stands out by turning location data into a tool for automation with its Kinexon OS platform. Instead of showing where things are on a map, the company uses that data to control machines. Its software can tell an automated robot to slow down if a person is too close or direct a forklift to the next job automatically. This ability to orchestrate the factory floor makes it a preferred player in the automotive industry. Major car makers use Kinexon to manage the complex movements of parts, people, and robots on their assembly lines. A big step forward was its partnership with SAP. By linking its real-time location data directly with SAP’s supply chain software, the company created a seamless link between what is happening on the floor and what the business managers view in their reports. This allows companies to react instantly to delays or shortages, making their entire supply chain faster and more resilient.

Market Ranking

The UWB indoor location market is competitive, with five main players collectively holding 40–50% of the total market. Leading players such as Zebra, Ubisense, Kinexon, Sewio, and Pozyx dominate through their extensive portfolios. Zebra leads with its MotionWorks platform, which is the standard for high-volume asset tracking in logistics and manufacturing. Ubisense remains the leader in complex, high-precision manufacturing, particularly in the European automotive sector, where its SmartSpace platform manages assembly lines. Kinexon is a rapidly growing innovator, dominating the “Industrial IoT” and sports analytics space by converting UWB data into live automation triggers. Sewio holds a strong position in the logistics sector, known for its scalable and easy-to-deploy UWB kits. Pozyx is a rising challenger, gaining significant traction with its Industry 4.0 solutions that have surpassed 100,000 active tags in the market. These companies continue to invest heavily in 5G integration and battery-efficient UWB to strengthen interoperability and scalability. As industries increasingly adopt indoor location to automate factories and protect workers, they are expected to lead the next wave of innovation in the global market.
