Growth in the Real-time Location Systems Market Propelled by Digitalization, New Applications, Advancements in Locating Technologies

New ARC Advisory Group research on the Real-time Location Systems (RTLS) market reveals that the year 2020 was supposed to be a very good growth year for RTLS as the benefits of real-time location technologies were getting recognized in manufacturing areas. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the market expectations in terms of growth. Many user companies have delayed their planned investments for real-time location systems as installation of RTLS infrastructure has become a key challenge in 2020 due to no access to sites as per COVID-19 safety measures. Looking at the year 2021, the real-time location systems market is already back on its growth path again, and many RTLS suppliers have started experiencing very good growth rates, especially from the beginning of the second quarter.

“There is a growing need for real-time visibility into the most important areas of the industrial operations across multiple locations or a specific area–assets, work-in-process (WIP), heavy mobile machinery, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and robots. Digitalization, Industrial IoT, and the demand for stable and reliable real-time location systems technologies to position moving objects precisely is accelerating. RTLS applications have become more practical as they have had much clearer results in the recent past. Also, a clear understanding of the challenges, needs, and vision for solutions has been evolving,” according to Naresh K. Surepelly, Senior Analyst at ARC Advisory Group and key author of ARC’s Real-time Location Systems Global Market Research report.
