Near field communication market is expected to grow from USD 18.0 billion in 2020 to USD 34.9 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 14.2%. The major factors driving the growth of the NFC market are the increasing trend of mobile commerce and the growing adoption of wearable technology. However, the issue of short-range communication is expected to restrain the growth of the market.

Reader emulation is attributed to hold the largest share of the NFC market

The market for reader emulation is projected to witness highest growth in the NFC market for the forecast period, as the majority of mobile phone and retail applications use NFC chip in reader emulation mode. There is high adoption of NFC-based mobile wallets, such as Goggle pay, Samsung pay, Apple Pay, and Android Pay, which are expected to witness the highest CAGR in the coming years, owing to the high demand originating from payments.

Applications of NFC:

Contactless Payments: One of the most prominent applications of NFC technology is in contactless payment systems. NFC-enabled smartphones and payment cards allow users to make secure transactions by simply tapping their device on a compatible terminal. This convenience has fueled the adoption of NFC for retail payments, public transportation fares, and ticketing systems.

Access Control and Security: NFC technology is widely used for access control and security applications, such as keyless entry systems for buildings, hotels, and vehicles. NFC-enabled cards or devices serve as digital keys, granting authorized individuals access to restricted areas or resources with a simple tap or swipe.

Smart Retail and Marketing: NFC tags and stickers are utilized in smart retail and marketing initiatives to engage customers and enhance their shopping experience. By tapping their smartphones on NFC tags attached to products or displays, shoppers can access product information, promotional offers, and loyalty rewards, creating interactive and personalized retail experiences.

Identity Verification: NFC technology is leveraged for identity verification and authentication in various contexts, including e-passports, driver's licenses, and employee badges. NFC-enabled documents or credentials store encrypted biometric and personal data, providing a secure and convenient method for verifying identity and enhancing security.

IoT Connectivity: NFC plays a crucial role in connecting and configuring IoT (Internet of Things) devices in smart homes, offices, and industrial settings. NFC-enabled devices can be easily paired and configured by tapping them together, simplifying the setup process and enabling seamless interoperability between IoT devices.
