Market Overview

A location-based service (LBS) is a collection of software-delivered services such as mapping and navigation, local search and information, social networking and entertainment, proximity marketing, asset tracking, and others that enable end users to access location-specific data and other online services. Location-based services use real-time geo-data from a smartphone or other smart device to deliver information, entertainment, or security. Location-based services use IP addresses and real-time geolocation data to provide information specific to a user's current location. It ensures that users have timely and accurate information about their surroundings, while also allowing businesses to keep customers up to date on the services they use. Additionally, the location-based services market is expected to grow due to a variety of factors. This includes increased access to spatial data and analytical tools, increased consumer use of social media, smartphones, and location-based apps, and rising demand for geo-marketing. The introduction of 5G and affordable connectivity technologies has aided widespread connectivity. Improved connectivity and a growing interest in customizing services based on user location data have propelled the location-based services and RTLS (Real-Time Location Systems) markets. Also, recognizing the cost benefits of deploying solutions for tracking and managing assets (such as personnel and vehicles) is expected to drive market growth even further.

Driving Factors

The use of UWB technology in RTLSs in the healthcare industry has recently increased. The primary driver of the UWB technology-based RTLS market for healthcare is UWB technology's ability to provide highly accurate positioning data for a person or object. UWB outperforms most other RTLS technologies in terms of precision and range while consuming less power. This has resulted in its widespread use in applications requiring high accuracy. Patient tracking is an example of this. UWB technology can help determine the exact positions of both patients in a hospital room if there is no more than one meter between the two beds. Also, previously, the high cost was the primary impediment to its widespread adoption in a variety of industries, including healthcare. However, prices have been falling over time, which is expected to boost demand for RTLS solutions based on UWB technology. In recent years, several end users of RTLS technology have switched from other technology-based RTLS solutions, such as RFID and Wi-Fi, to UWB technology-based RTLS solutions due to increased productivity, shorter lead times, and lower costs.

Restraining Factors

The dynamic government rules and regulations for location-based services limit the market's growth, Also, expensive installation and maintenance costs hampers the market growth.
