Ultra-Wideband Anchor and Tags Market Size
The global ultra-wideband anchor and tags market was valued at USD 1 billion in 2024 and is estimated to register a CAGR of 18.3% between 2025 and 2034. The market expansion related to the growth in asset tracking and personnel monitoring solutions is projected to foster UWB tags' development for asset and personnel targeting accurate use in the manufacturing, healthcare, and warehousing sectors.
UWB tags are utilized with tags deployed on tools, equipment, inventory, and employees, which enable businesses to ensure continuous monitoring of asset movements, their location, and status with a view to enhancing efficiency, meeting provisioning guidelines, and optimally utilizing resources. Tags are supplemented by anchors, which are static devices providing higher location accuracy. Tags and anchors together foster the automation of tracking activities in different operations, improving decision-making.
The expansion of UWB technology as a result of tags and anchors is in response to the rapid progression of IoT and its myriad of connected devices. The total number of cellular IoT connections was 3.4 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach a total of 4 billion by the end of 2024, according to the Ericsson Mobility Report. Moreover, the broadband IoT alone contributes to over 50% of the total number of cellular IoT connections.
Within the ecosystem of IoT, UWB anchors serve as critical components because they can significantly enhance the accuracy of indoor positioning and indoor navigation systems, hence providing real-time location-enabled services. UWB tags that are affixed to assets or devices provide on-device communication, allowing for the fast tracking and interaction within smart homes, smart factories, and smart offices. These tools aid IoT systems in ensuring data transmission that is secure, reliable, and issued in real-time. Businesses today are increasingly deploying UWB anchors and tags in the residential and business IoT systems to help further improve connectivity, enable business process automation, and promote effective device management and control across different process environments as factors driving up the acceptance and usage of IoT.
Additionally, with the evolution of smart manufacturing and the further introduction of Industry 4.0, the use of UWB anchors and tags is being constantly promoted hand-in-hand with the automation and digital transformation of processes. The UWB technology allows for more efficient business operations as it renders real-time precise tracking of tools, machines, materials, and workers. These systems assist manufacturers in locating bottlenecks, optimizing workflows, and minimizing idle time of the equipment, thus improving productivity. They enable the monitoring of worker movements and their distance to hazardous equipment, which increases occupational safety. In light of the current Industry 4.0 need to develop further competitive markets, UWB tags and anchors are increasingly critical in enabling smart decision-making and streamlined operations.
Ultra-Wideband Anchor and Tags Market Trends
The miniaturization of tags allowed them to be embedded into wearables, IoT devices, and other industrial tools, increasing their flexibility in applications. In warehouses and factories, features such as multi-anchor synchronization enhance the effective operational range of the tag, allowing coordination of multiple positions at once. In addition to that, enhanced signal processing metrics coupled with hybrid systems integrated into UWB technology enable it to be paired with GPS and RFID, which positively impacts reliability. Also, these advancements paired with the ever-growing focus on energy efficiency and sustainability have converted UWB anchors and tags into essential tools across several industries such as healthcare, automotive, and retail.
Businesses are rolling out novel smart tag modules designed for RTLS, Collision Avoidance, and Data Communication. As an example, in April of 2024, Inpixon, which is a provider of RTLS, launched a smart tag module called Inpixon Swarm UWB V3. This module incorporates indoor applications such as real-time location, proximity sensing, collision avoidance, and bidirectional data communication. It is compatible with Inpixon RTLS anchors and the complete Inpixon RTLS ecosystem. Small form factors allow this module to be integrated into wearable IoT devices such as wristbands, badges, belt clips, as well as helmets, or fixed to assets like forklifts, containers, and pallets. These smart tags facilitate asset tracking, worker safety, visitor management, and collision prevention in warehouses, factories, and others.
A significant constraint that hinders market penetration is the high cost that accompanies the development and installation of UWB anchor and tag system setups. The initial investment into hardware for multiple anchors and tags to cover an area can be significant. Setup, installation, and integration into existing systems come at an added cost. Continuous servicing and upgrades only add to the cost. For companies that are resource-restrained, the costs due to the aforementioned infrastructure surpass the benefits, slowing the adoption rate for the UWB technology.
