UWB Anchor Market

UWB Anchor Market: Introduction

• In a real-time location system (RTLS), an anchor is an electronic device that detects UWB pulses emitted by a UWB tag and forwards them to a location server to calculate the location of the tag
• In environments such as smart factories, enterprises use real-time tracking system anchors to detect and locate transmitting tags carried by workers, powering critical safety use cases such as collision avoidance or safe zones
• RTLS also track tags attached to key assets such as vehicles and inventories; production equipment to support enterprise asset management; workflow optimization; automation, etc.
• Clinical grade UWB anchors are utilized in the healthcare industry to track staff, patients, and key medical equipment such as defibrillators and more for real-time visibility that helps them deliver vital care in critical scenarios
• UWB anchors address applications such as autonomous indoor navigation, asset tracking and traffic management, access control for residential, buildings, cars, stores, shared mobility, etc.
• Presently, consumer electronics, industrial, healthcare, and retail industries, among others, precision positioning, require communications, or radar systems for communication, surveillance, video streaming, and many other applications, thus driving the demand for UWB anchor technology-based indoor positioning systems

Rising Demand for UWB Anchor in Consumer Electronics Industries 

• Based on end-use industry, the market can be segmented into consumer electronics, healthcare, retail, mining, automotive & transportation, government, military, industrial, manufacturing, residential, agriculture and others 
• The consumer electronics segment of the global UWB Anchor market is estimated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to an increase in use of UWB anchor, which is expected to significantly improve the consumer’s experience related to home entertainment products, such as laptops, TVs, and audio equipment.
• Other home entertainment products that benefit from UWB technology include MP3 players, game consoles, PCs, and personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Rise in demand for more accurate location-based services and secure access to systems is propelling the demand for UWB anchor technology for use in consumer electronics. This, in turn, fuels the UWB anchor market.

Asia Pacific to Lead Global UWB Anchor Market

• In terms of region, the global UWB anchor market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa
• UWB anchor technology has also been witnessing an increase in the demand for its implementation in indoor location tracking equipment for both industrial and residential applications for the last few years
• Rapid expansion of the automotive sector in Asia Pacific and expansion of the process industry in developing countries in the region are expected to significantly propel the UWB anchor market in Asia Pacific during the forecast period. Innovation in technologies are expected to increase the demand for UWB anchor.
• The UWB anchor market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand at a high growth rate due to the presence of major players in the region and increased competition among them. The market in Europe and North America is likely to expand at a steady pace during the forecast period owing to reduced competition in the market in these regions.
