Tracking medication from pharmacy to patients is the second largest revenue generating segment as the supply chain of high cost equipments is complex and they are often supplied on consignment. Hence they need high degree of traceability from supplier to patient. The blood transfer monitoring application market for RFID is one of the fastest growing markets across the globe as blood banks need to maintain the integrity and authenticity of the blood bags delivered.
Among all the geographical regions, North America is expected to account for maximum share of about 50% followed by Europe (20%) and Asia-Pacific (17%) in 2018.
