Ultra-wideband Market size was over USD 1.42 billion in 2024 and is projected to exceed USD 14.82 billion by the end of 2037, witnessing over 19.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of ultra-wideband is evaluated at USD 1.64 billion.
The growth of the market can primarily be attributed to the spiking penetration of smartphones and other personal electronic devices across the globe. UWB technology is particularly precise in terms of interior navigation and position tracking, making it a useful solution for use in consumer gadgets such as smartphones. Smartphones and other portable electronic devices are rapidly being used to perform high-bandwidth applications that demand low-latency wireless connections, such as watching online video and gaming. Therefore, UWB technology is ideal for these kinds of applications, and it is anticipated to surge the market’s growth in the upcoming years. For instance, smartphone subscriptions were estimated to hit approximately 5000 million in 2018 and are projected to reach about 7000 million by the year 2027 globally.
Global ultra-wideband market trends such as significant expansion in the IT sector and the growing prevalence of wireless sensor networks are projected to influence the growth of the market positively over the forecast period. For instance, in 2022, the IT sector spent about USD 1 trillion on telecommunication across the globe, and that is expected to rise in the coming years. Moreover, up-surged mobile data traffic on the back of a rising number of internet users is further expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. Hence, all these factors are estimated to propel the growth of the market over the forecast period.

Positioning System (Indoor, Outdoor)
The global ultra-wideband market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by positioning systems into indoors and outdoors. Out of these segments, the indoor segment is projected to garner a higher market share by end of 2037. Since typical GPS signals may be weak or hindered in confined locations such as buildings, indoor positioning systems are more frequently employed in these settings. Since of its broad bandwidth and low power requirements, UWB is a good fit for this application, as it can deliver precise position data using time-of-flight (ToF) measurements even in settings with a lot of multipath interference. Applications for these include asset tracking, interior navigation, and emergency response, among others. For instance, as per the reported data, UWB technology is much more accurate than other wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with an accuracy of 10-35 cm.
Application (Communication, Imaging, RTLS)
The global ultra-wideband market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into communication, imaging, real time location system (RTLS), and others, out of which, the real time location system (RTLS) segment is projected to witness noteworthy growth over the forecast period. The growth of the segment can be accounted to the booming implementation of real-time location services across the globe in multiple industries. Moreover, it helps to determine the location of particular equipment, and patients in the healthcare sector, and it is expected to boost the segment’s growth over the forecast period. For instance, in 2022, the implementation of Bluetooth real-time location services in various verticals such as public venues, smart offices, hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing, and others is projected to be around 58% in the world.

The North America ultra-wideband market, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold the largest market share by the end of 2037. The growth of the market can be accounted to the ongoing development of the healthcare sector and the presence of major key players in the region. In the healthcare sector, patients travel from one room to another room, and ultra-wideband is used to track the location of patients, which in turn is further anticipated to boost the market’s growth in the region. Furthermore, there has been a rising need for data communication, followed by an increasing digital population, and it is predicted to drive the growth of the market in the North America region. The data stated, more than 90 percent of the population in the United States is digitally connected. Hence, all these factors are estimated to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
