The global NFC market size attained a value of around USD 36.20 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow in the forecast period of 2024-2032 at a CAGR of 28.4% to reach nearly USD 343.70 billion by 2032.
Near field communication, often abbreviated as NFC, is a short-range wireless technology. It allows compatible devices to communicate across short distances. To send the signal, at least one transmitting device and one receiving device are required.
NFC is based on RFID technology, operating at the 13.56 MHz frequency. It is a standard for smartphones and similar devices to establish communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, typically within a few centimetres.
It allows for wireless communication between devices using electromagnetic fields and can work in two-way communication (allowing both devices to send and receive information) or one-way communication (where one device sends data, and the other reads it). NFC is quick and easy to use, especially in comparison to setting up Bluetooth connections or other wireless communications.
The NFC standard can be used by a wide range of devices, which can be passive or active. In passive devices, tags and other small transmitters can convey data to other NFC devices without requiring their own power supply. These devices do not process data from other sources and are unable to link to other passive components.
In active devices, these gadgets are capable of both sending and receiving data. They have the ability to communicate both with active and passive devices. NFC is another wireless data transfer standard that requires devices to follow certain standards in order to connect successfully.

Increasing demand for NFC tags to aid the market value
Based on the product, the NFC tags segment is expected to hold a significant portion of the NFC market share. The segment is expected to grow as a result of the increasing demand for payment and access control applications. NFC tags are made up of microchips that can store data and can be read by a variety of mobile devices. NFC tags come in different types, with varying data storage capacities, typically ranging from a few bytes to several kilobytes. They can also be found in various forms, including stickers, key fobs, cards, and wristbands, among others.
The NFC tag allows you to share data saved on your phone with other NFC-enabled phones. It also performs a number of tasks, such as launching a website or altering the handset's settings. Unlike mobile apps and wallets, which bombard users with unpleasant pop-ups, other intrusions and distractions, and unwelcome advertising, NFC tags give consumers more control over their interactions.
These tags are widely used in marketing and advertising to provide additional information, such as linking to a product website or promotional content. Furthermore, NFC tags also find growing applications in retail to facilitate quick and secure payment processes.
Increasing usage of smartphones to bolster the growth of the market
The global NFC market growth is being driven by the rising usage of smartphones and mobile commerce. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the market has experienced growth owing to the increase in sign-ups for new payment procedures and the increased number of smartphone users. As people were unable to go outside due to the lockdown imposed by the respective state governments, the online payment transfer for essentials surged.
In addition, the expansion of the worldwide near field communication market is also aided by the increase in mobile internet users. Furthermore, with technologies like NFC-enabled PoS systems, mobile devices have become an essential means of data transfer.
Growing integration of NFC technology in the healthcare sector
The deployment of NFC (Near Field Communication) technology in healthcare represents a significant advancement, offering improved efficiency, enhanced patient care, and better data management. Patients, especially in hospitals and elderly care facilities, can wear NFC-enabled ID bracelets. These tags can store essential patient information, which can be easily accessed by healthcare providers with a simple tap of an NFC-enabled device.
NFC allows for quick and secure access to electronic medical records (EMRs), which further propels the NFC market demand. Doctors and nurses can scan an NFC tag to instantly access a patient's medical history, allergies, and ongoing treatments. Additionally, NFC-enabled medicine bottles or packaging can track when a dose is taken, aiding in patient adherence to medication schedules.
