The Healthcare RFID market is accounted for USD 1,154 million in 2017 and expected to register 21.23% CAGR during the forecast period (2020-2030).
The implementation of radiofrequency identification (RFID) to the healthcare industry offers many benefits associated with patient safety, efficiencies in patient care, tracking, and provider satisfaction. RFID is a wireless-based system that utilizes radio waves for assembling data from a tag attached to an object, for several purposes such as automatic identification, tracking of objects, etc.
Enhancement of inventory management system within pharmacies, hospitals, and biotechnology companies; focused towards patient safety, high efficacy of the RFID systems, the rising population of cancer patients, and adoption of automated process in hospitals and pharmacies are expected to drive the growth of healthcare RFID during the forecast period. Moreover, rising research and development activities by non-profit organizations and aggressive strategies by top players such as mergers, expansion, and collaboration for the development of new technologies to reinforce RFID in healthcare also boosting the growth of the market. For instance, a leading provider of location tracking solutions, Harland Simon announced its partnership with an award-winning Cambridge-based technology company, PervasID for introducing new RFID reader technology to the healthcare RFID market.
However, the high cost of the system, lack of awareness about RFID and technical limitations such as system errors may hamper the growth of the market during the assessment period.

Regional Market Summary
Global Healthcare RFID Market Share, by Region, 2017 (%)
Source: MRFR Analysis
The Americas are likely to dominate the healthcare RFID market owing to the rising strategic alliance by major players, the involvement of non-profit organization in research & development, and well-established healthcare infrastructure. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, in 2018, around 1,735,350 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and 609,640 people will die from the disease. For instance, in May 2018, CCL Industries Inc. acquired Nortec International Ltd. a privately held company for approximately USD 9 million.
The European market is expected to be the second-largest healthcare RFID market. The market growth in this region can be attributed to government funding and support of the healthcare sector coupled with increasing research and development.
Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing healthcare RFID market during the forecast period owing to the improving healthcare infrastructure, rising investments in healthcare and expansions by market players in the region. Also, countries such as India and China are considering the fastest growing region due to the government focused on adopting new technology, and the best treatment option from a developed country. According to the World Health Organization, in 2010, the healthcare expenditure of India was 3.27% of GDP, whereas, in 2015 it has 3.89% of total GDP.
The market in the Middle East & Africa is expected to account for the smallest share of the healthcare RFID market due to an underdeveloped healthcare sector, lack of technical knowledge, and poor medical facilities.
