The Global Near Field Communication Enabled Handsets Market size is projected to grow to USD $18,895.6 million by 2028 and is expected to reach a CAGR of 16.4% during the forecast period (2021-2028). The growth in this market can be attributed primarily due to the increasing adoption of NFC technology for various applications such as mobile payment, ID authentication, transit fare collection, and other application areas such as smart agriculture, etc., which are likely to increase the demand for NFC enabled handsets globally.
NFC Enabled Handsets is a new technology that allows phones to communicate with other devices or data, without connecting them. This feature of NFC-enabled handsets has made it possible for people to share information from one device to another by just touching or bringing their two devices to close together. It also enables payments using smartphones at retail stores and contactless credit card transactions in physical as well as online shopping. Furthermore, it can be used for digital identity authentication purposes such as unlocking doors securely and logging into computers and websites more conveniently than passwords alone allow.
On the basis of Types, the market is segmented into Feature Phones and Smartphones.
Feature Phones are the best option for those who have a low budget. They come with basic features like calling, texting, and few other apps. They are mostly used in developing countries to reduce the cost of mobile phone ownership.
As per the Mobile Marketing Association, a smartphone is defined as "a mobile phone with an operating system and applications that can run independently of a personal computer". The abbreviation has been derived from SMART (Software-driven) phones. Smartphones are also wireless devices that provide internet access through cellular networks or Wi-Fi connections. They come in touch screen form factor and offer advanced computing functions such as increased processing power, larger screens, multi-tasking ability, etc. Apart from these features discussed above, smartphones allow users to view multimedia content like music and videos on their device's display screen.
On the basis of Applications, the market is segmented into Mobile Payment, ID Authentication, and Transit Fare Collection. The mobile payment segment accounted for the highest market share in 2018.
Near Field Communication Enabled Handsets has a large variety of applications. One such application is mobile payments. NFC enables handset users to purchase goods and services without the need for cash, credit cards, etc. Mobile payment transactions are carried out by either tapping smartphones against card readers at checkout terminals in retail outlets or using near-field contactless smart cards on transit systems that have compatible devices installed as well as contactless reader points for processing digital payments from customers wearing their wristband with an embedded RFID chip.
Machine-readable transactional data can be used in automatic toll booths, parking meters, public transport ticketing gates, and other access control areas where ID authentication is needed. There are also widespread use cases like Virtual Reality gaming platforms, for instance, where RFID-enabled smart cards are used to initiate services and authenticate the player’s identity.
Near Field Communication Enabled Handsets are used for ID authentication in many contexts. For example, banks have started to use NFC-enabled smartphones and cards as an alternative identification method from passwords or tokens. This application has seen increased adoption in regions such as Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore due to tighter security regulations being enforced by governments.
NFC-enabled handsets can be used for transit fare collection thereby saving on costs related to ticket vending machines or paper tickets. This application has seen increased adoption from transportation providers especially where there is sufficient ridership such as buses, trains, etc., due to lower implementation cost compared with legacy systems like magnetic stripe card readers.
On the basis of Region, the market is segmented ed into North America, Latin America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. The North American market is expected to be the most lucrative for NFC Enabled handsets in terms of revenue by 2028. The growth is attributed to a large number of new smartphone launches and an increase in demand from vendors as well as end-users.
The Middle East & Africa region will experience significant growth, driven by increased investment in infrastructure development which is supporting financial inclusion initiatives such the digital payments focus towards consumers with limited access to formal banking services thereby increasing their participation in this market segment.
