A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag typically uses electromagnetic radiation to identify and track tags, which are then attached to specific objects. RFID tags are a simple way of identifying things and have become increasingly popular for both business and personal use. The use of RFID offers many benefits to the healthcare industry related to patient safety, tracking, efficiencies in patient care, and provider satisfaction.
Market Dynamics
Medication shortages in pharmacies is expected to propel growth of
the global RFID in healthcare market. For instance, according to an annual
survey published in August 2020 by Kit Check, around 60% of pharmacy staff
reported dealing with up to 20 medication shortages at a time. More than 72 of
respondents reported spending up to 15 staff hours to reconcile each medication
shortage.
Moreover, launch of medical devices with RFID scanners is also expected
to propel growth of the global RFID in healthcare market. For instance, in
January 2020, Dentsply Sirona launched CEREC Primemill, a grinding and milling
machine with 7-inch touch interface, an integrated camera for scanning blocks
with compatible data matrix code, and an RFID scanner for reading tool
information.
High cost of the system is expected to hinder growth of the Global
RFID in healthcare market. The cost of an RFID tag can range from four
cents per tag to upwards of US$ 50.00 per tag depending on the capabilities.
The RFID tag readers can range from US$ 1,000.00 to US$ 3,000.00 per reader.
Among regions, North America is expected to witness significant
growth in the global RFID in healthcare market, owing to increasing launch of medicines
with RFID tags. For instance, in October 2020, Sandoz Inc. announced the
availability of its first two injectable medicines with Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) tags in the U.S. through its collaboration with Kit
Check, Inc.
Major players in the global RFID in healthcare market are focused
on adopting partnership strategies to enhance their market share. For instance,
in September 2020, Kit Check, a provider of automated and intelligent
medication management solutions, signed an agreement with SCA Pharmaceuticals
that allows SCA to add an embedded RFID tag to all of its products.
Competitive Analysis
Major players operating in the global RFID in healthcare market include,
Microchip Technology, Accenture plc, Hitachi, IBM, 3M, AeroScout Inc., Know
Labs, Inc., Kit Check, Fresenius Kabi, and Siemens Healthcare.
