North America dominated the global healthcare RFID marketplace due to the cumulative number of hospitals and the existence of regulations on patient safety. Europe can be assumed to be the second-most profitable market for healthcare RFID systems. The regional market benefits from promising government support in terms of funding and rigorous support of the development of the healthcare sector. Moreover, growing research and development in the region offers lucrative avenues for market expansion in the near future.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest budding healthcare RFID market throughout the estimated period on account of refining healthcare infrastructure, increasing investments in the healthcare sector, and developments by market participants in the region. Also, nations such as China and India are seeing the fastest progressions owing to the growing government emphasis on implementation of novel technology, and the finest treatment selection from a developed country.
RFID technology in the healthcare sector is predicted to witness outstanding growth in the near future. Some of the prominent factors accelerating the growth of Improvement RFID in the Healthcare market include inventory management in pharmacies, hospitals, and biotechnology companies, and enhanced patient security by healthcare providers. Further, the high efficiency and low cost of RFID systems and the implementation of automated processes in pharmacies and hospitals are spurring market demand. Also, intensifying research and development operations by non-profit organizations and rigorous strategies adopted by top participants like expansion, mergers, and partnership for the development of new-fangled technologies to reinforce RFID in healthcare also improve the growth of the market. For illustration, Harland Simon, a chief provider of location tracking solutions partnered with PervasID for presenting novel RFID reader technology to the market. It is a Cambridge-based and award-winning technology firm.
The Growing requirement to avert expiry, spoilage, and counterfeit products from coming into the market and the cumulative requirement to help adhere to the FDA's Drug Supply Chain Security Act, MHRA, and other regulatory establishments. The growth of this market is powered by the snowballing installation of RFID in manufacturing units for efficiency enhancement; augmented practice of access and security control applications and swelling government initiatives. Huge implementation of RFID technology in the retail sector, and development in the RFID ecosystem via organic growth strategies like acquisitions and mergers, and collaborations further aid in market progression.
However, a few limiting aspects for the development of the healthcare RFID market are more installation cost of RFID systems in healthcare and systems interoperability. RFID adoption in any industry needs huge investments for readers, tags, software, electricity, and running replacement services. Further additional features like IoT integration, accuracy checking of the system, and training charges increase expenses for RFID solutions.
