Report Description
The global near field communication (NFC) market is projected to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021 – 2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing mobile penetrations with advanced payment infrastructure and data connectivity. Near field communication is a type of communication system that offers the interaction or connection between two electronic devices in a short distance. The system allows a proper connectivity of devices within a distance of 4 cm or less than 4cm, thus, the devices need to be placed in a close range.
The NFC technology enables users to perform functions such as secure transactions and exchange digital content between two ends. It is widely used in pay terminals and contactless payment with the help of smartphone devices. Google wallet is the best example for NFC technology, which has been extensively adopted by retailers such as Walgreens, Macy’s, Target, and others.
For maximization of potential sales, several businesses in developing countries including Japan, Malaysia, India, Taiwan, and China are developing several local mobile payment platforms for the mobile payment. High penetration of advanced NFC technology in developed markets is a key aspect boosting the mobile transactions among financial institutions and consumers, and between the individuals. To enhance the productivity along with improved security, several businesses in the industries are adopting innovative NFC products.
Near Field Communication (NFC) Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Growing demand for easy and effective payment solution to avoid contactless transaction is a key driving factor for the market expansion.
- Rising demand for secured payment method from business organization to ensure consumers’ convenience is another key factor boosting the market growth.
- Wide use of smartphone devices and increasing preference for online transaction from consumers are expected to fuel the market expansion.
- Risk of computer hacking or phone hacking related to owner credit card information, social security information, and bill payments are some key restraining factors that can hinder the market growth over coming years.
