Global RFID in healthcare market is valued approximately USD 1.3 billion in 2017 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 21.54 % over the forecast period 2018-2025. The advent of the NFC capable mobile phones that allows electronic patient tracking and identification across multiple provides is a key trend that is responsible for the wide adoption of the RFID products in healthcare globally. As, it allows patients to be identified by a unique radio frequency identification (RFID) tag on their person when they visit a clinic. Global RFID in healthcare market is significantly driven by the growing stringency in pharmaceutical sector about medicine labelling. For instance: as per the Australian Commission, the commission has introduced a standard named National Standard for user-applied Labelling of Injectable Medicines in which the contents of the containers and line used for the fluids and injectable medicines and the patients for whom the fluid or medicine are intended.
