NFC Market to Reach $50.1 Billion by 2032
Global NFC Market – 2025-2032
Meticulous Research®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled, ‘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 - Global Forecast to 2032.’ The global NFC market is projected to reach $50.1 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 12.3% from 2025 to 2032. The growth of this market is attributed to the rising demand for contactless payments and the growing integration of NFC technology in smartphones. Furthermore, the surging adoption of NFC technology in retail to improve consumer experience and growing keyless entry applications in homes and passenger vehicles are expected to create significant opportunities for this market. However, the limited range of operations of NFC challenges this market growth. Also, security issues in near field communication are restraining the market growth. The integration of NFC into wearable devices is a prominent trend in the NFC market. The global NFC market is segmented based on offering, operating mode, application, and end-use industry. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyses the regional and country-level markets. Based on offering, the global NFC market is segmented into hardware and platform. In 2025, 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 and enhancement to enable keyless entry. For instance, in February 2025, Toppan Inc. (Japan), the global leader in communication, security, packaging, and electronics solutions, developed an eco-friendly near-field communication (NFC) tag label that uses paper material as the substrate for the antenna instead of PET film. This segment is also projected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. 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 2025, the card emulation mode segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global NFC market. The large market share of this segment 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. This segment is also projected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. 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 2025, the contactless payment segment is expected to account for the largest share of the NFC market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the increasing demand for fast and secure transactions, the integration of NFC in smartphones to facilitate contactless payment, and the growing focus of companies on 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 projected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. 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 2025, the retail segment is expected to account for the largest share of the NFC market. The large market share of this segment 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 projected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Based on geography, the global NFC market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. In 2025, Asia Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of the NFC market. The region's large share is attributed to the increasing penetration of digital payments in the region, 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). Asia-Pacific is also projected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Key Players The key players profiled in the global NFC market study are NXP Semiconductors N.V.
