Abstract Table of Contents Related Reports

The RFID business is growing so fast that few applicational sectors can beat that scorching rate of growth. Healthcare is one of them thanks to the new tagging of drugs, real time location of staff and patients and other developments including automated error prevention. This unique report gives a full technical and market analysis illustrated by 70 case studies. It is a vital resource for the healthcare profession and all who wish to support it.

Rapid increase in adoption

The market for RFID tags and systems in healthcare will rise rapidly from $90 million in 2006 to $2.1 billion in 2016. Primarily, this will be because of item level tagging of drugs and Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS) for staff, patients and assets to improve efficiency, safety and availability and to reduce losses.

This report analyses 10 year forecasts of RFID in the healthcare sector.
