The increasing need to track and monitor assets and employees in real-time is anticipated to be opportunistic for the real-time location systems (RTLS) market

The global real-time location systems (RTLS) market size is projected to reach over USD 13 billion by 2025. In addition, it is anticipated to gather a CAGR of over 24% over the forecast period 2018-2025. A real-time location system (RTLS) identifies and discovers the location of objects and people in real-time. RTLS comprises a wireless tag that is attached or integrated with objects or individuals. Hence, the signals transported from such tags are sent to a fixed location, which in turn assists in finding the exact location of the object or individual. The real-time location system encompasses sensors, battery-powered tags, application software, network infrastructure, and location readers.

The current and future real-time location systems (RTLS) market advances are defined to state the attractiveness of the market. Key impacting aspects focus on real-time location systems (RTLS) of market opportunities during the forecast period. Factors such as the increasing regulatory compliances across several industries are driving the market growth.
