The government authorities of various nations are taking initiatives to establish security standards and safeguard against fraud, thereby building trust in the contactless payment market. Regulatory frameworks, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe, enforce stringent data protection measures. Guidelines from bodies like the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), set standards for secure transactions. Government authorities are also supporting the adoption of contactless payments through initiatives that encourage digital transactions and reduce reliance on cash. For instance, in February 2024, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) released a major policy statement outlining several developmental and regulatory initiatives covering financial markets, regulations pertaining to lending institutions, and payment systems, including digital currency and fintech. On the financial markets front, RBI announced that it would comprehensively review the existing regulatory guidelines for Electronic Trading Platforms (ETPs) that enable transactions in financial instruments regulated by RBI, such as foreign exchange and government securities. Such initiatives by the government authorities of various nations are anticipated to catalyze the growth in the contactless payment industry over the forecasted period.
IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the global contactless payment market report, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels from 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on technology, device, solution, and application.
Near Field Communication (NFC)
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
Infrared (IR)
Others
The contactless payment market report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the technology. This includes near field communication (NFC), radio frequency identification (RFID), infrared (IR), and others.
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless technology that enables communication between devices within a few centimeters. It is widely used in contactless payments, allowing secure transactions by simply tapping a smartphone or contactless card near an NFC-enabled terminal. NFC enables fast transaction speeds, enhanced security through encryption, and convenience, as it eliminates the need for physical contact or swiping.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. In the contactless payment market, RFID tags are embedded in cards and devices, enabling quick and easy transactions by waving the card near an RFID reader. Benefits include the ability to process multiple transactions simultaneously, increased durability of RFID cards, and improved transaction efficiency and convenience.
