Global NFC Market by Offering (Hardware (Tags/Cards, Readers), Platform), Operating Mode (Read/Write, Peer-to-peer, Card Emulation), Application (Contactless Payment, Ticketing, Data Transfer & Sharing), End-use Industry, and Geography-Forecast to 2031.

The research report titled, 'Global NFC Market by Offering (Hardware (Tags/Cards, Readers), Platform), Operating Mode (Read/Write, Peer-to-peer, Card Emulation), Application (Contactless Payment, Ticketing, Data Transfer & Sharing), End-use Industry, and Geography-Forecast to 2031,' provides an in-depth analysis of the NFC market across five major geographies and emphasizes on the current market trends, market sizes, market shares, recent developments, and forecasts till 2031. The NFC is projected to reach $58.1 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 13.3% from 2024-2031.

The growth of this market is attributed to the rising demand for contactless payments and the growing integration of NFC technology in smartphones. However, the security issues in near-field communication is restraining the market growth. The integration of NFC into wearable devices is a prominent trend in the NFC market. In addition, the surging adoption of NFC technology in retail to improve consumer experience and growing keyless entry applications in homes & passenger vehicles are expected to create significant opportunities for this market. Furthermore, the limited range of operations of NFC poses challenges to the market growth.

The global NFC market is segmented on the basis of offering (hardware and platforms), operating mode (read/write mode, peer-to-peer mode, card emulation mode, and charging mode), application (contactless payment, data transfer & sharing, access control & authentication, ticketing, asset tracking, and other applications), and end-use industry (retail, BFSI, healthcare, automotive, hospitality, consumer, electronics, transportation, residential & commercial, manufacturing, and other end-use industries). This study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the regional and country-level markets.

Based on offering, the global NFC market is segmented into hardware and platforms. In 2023, the hardware segment is expected to account for the larger share of the global NFC market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the growing adoption of NFC cards in the hospitality sector and the rising focus of key players on product development & enhancement to enable keyless entry. For instance, in February 2024, Toppan Inc. (Japan), the global leader in communication, security, packaging, and electronics solutions, developed an eco-friendly NFC tag label that uses paper material as the substrate for the antenna instead of PET film.

Moreover, the hardware segment is estimated to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This segment's growth is driven by the rising integration of NFC technology in smartphones & point-of-sale (POS) terminals and the growing use of NFC tags/cards by organizations to improve customer experience. For instance, in April 2023, Diageo plc (U.K.), the global leader in alcoholic beverage, partnered with Lotte Duty-Free (South Korea), the global leader in travel retail, and Changi Airport Group (Singapore), a leading air hub in Asia to launch the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Cities of the Future Singapore pop-up at Changi Airport Terminal 3. The pop-up's immersive multi-sensory experience showcases the limited-edition Future Cities bottles of Blue Label whisky. Travelers can explore a futuristic Singapore society by scanning the NFC chip on the bottle.

Based on operating mode, the global NFC market is segmented into read/write mode, peer-to-peer mode, card emulation mode, and charging mode. In 2024, the card emulation mode segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global NFC market. This segment's large share is attributed to the benefits of card emulation mode, such as security, compatibility, and reliability. Furthermore, the card emulation mode allows a device, such as a smartphone, to emulate a contactless card and connect to an existing framework.

Moreover, the card emulation mode segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This segment's growth is driven by the increasing integration of NFC technology in wearables and growing government initiatives for raising awareness of digital payments.

Based on application, the global NFC market is segmented into contactless payment, data transfer & sharing, access control & authentication, ticketing, asset tracking, and other applications. In 2024, the contactless payment segment is expected to account for the largest share of the NFC market. This segment's large market share is attributed to the increasing demand for fast & secure transactions, the integration of NFC in smartphones to facilitate contactless payment, and the growing emphasis on companies for product advancements in payment technologies.

Additionally, the growing focus of organizations on partnerships to increase the adoption of contactless payment is contributing to the market growth. For instance, in November 2022, RCH S.p.A. (Italy), a cash register provider, partnered with Dejamobile (France), a digital payments technology provider, and Market Pay (French), an international payments platform, to provide customers with the ability to accept contactless payments on Android NFC devices.

However, the access control & authentication segment is estimated to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This segment's growth is driven by the adoption of NFC technology in automotive to facilitate smart entry in passenger vehicles, the growing use of NFC cards/tags for access control in organizations, and the growing adoption of smart locks.

Based on end-use industry, the global NFC market is segmented into retail, BFSI, healthcare, automotive, hospitality, consumer, electronics, transportation, residential & commercial, manufacturing, and other end-use industries. In 2024, the retail segment is expected to account for the largest share of the NFC market. This segment's large market share is attributed to the increasing penetration of digital payments in retail, the growing use of technology for product identification, and the increasing need to reduce counterfeiting.

However, the BFSI segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is driven by the rising inclination of consumers towards e-wallets, the benefits offered by contactless payment, such as seamless, secure & fast transactions, and stakeholder focus on fintech. For instance, in November 2023, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) (India) collaborated with IDFC FIRST Bank Ltd. (India), an Indian private sector bank, to introduce FIRSTAP, the nation's first sticker-based debit card, to permit transactions by merely tapping the sticker on a point-of-sale terminal that supports Near Field Communication (NFC).

Based on geography, the global NFC market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. In 2024, Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of the NFC market. This region's large market share is attributed to the increasing penetration of digital payments in the region, growing demand of NFC based cards for accessing public transport services, and growing adoption of NFC technology by the logistics industry for enhancing asset tracking and visibility within the supply chain, and the presence of large hospitality organizations such as Marriott International, Inc. (U.S.), Jin Jiang International (Holdings) Co., Ltd. (China), Banyan Tree Holdings Limited (Singapore), and Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group Limited (Hong Kong) which uses NFC card for accessing hospitality services.

Moreover, Asia-Pacific is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this market is driven by the rising investment in fintech companies, the growing focus of retailers on incorporating contactless payments for enhancing in-store experience, and the growing focus on smartphone launches with NFC capabilities.
