The global near-field communication market is expected to witness a CAGR of 14.5% during the forecast period. Near Field Communication Market is based on a wireless interface that allows all communication equipment and electronic gadgets to communicate with one another by establishing radio connectivity under proximity. This technology is mostly utilized for short-range data sharing on smartphones, computers, laptops, and tablets. Moreover, the businesses are facing many challenges like fluctuation in the supply chain, a shift in working hours, and protecting their employees, resulting in the adoption of NFC tags. Moreover, the industry players are innovating NFC-enabled products during the outbreak to improve the customer experience. Near-field communication (NFC) technology is widely employed in mobile payment terminals. Google wallet technology has been adopted by retailers such as Target, Macy's, and Walgreens. The rising need for convenient transfer and data security along with the proliferation of smartphones will propel the growth of the NFC market. Nevertheless, the leading and emerging countries like the US, Germany, China, India will be the major markets for NFC during the projected period. Thus, the rising mobile penetration along with enhanced payment infrastructure and data connectivity will provide significant opportunities for the growth of NFC-enabled mobile payment.
In October 2021, Infineon a prominent leader for payment ICs has announced a novel SECORA™ Pay portfolio on 40 nm technology with best-in-class contactless performance.
The rising demand for NFC in contactless payment via mobile and POS during the COVID-19 crisis has accelerated the growth of the NFC market.
