The market is experiencing rapid growth attributed to the escalating demand for Host Card Emulation (HCE). HCE technology revolutionizes mobile and wearable devices by emulating payment cards on NFC-enabled devices sans access to an authenticated element. The surge in wearable payment devices is also propelled by their capacity to facilitate swift payments. E-banking platforms are progressively integrating NFC technology into transaction operations, easing payments, while declining deployment costs of NFC technology bolster demand. Another growth driver is the rising adoption of contactless payments, propelled by governmental mandates for digital payment networks. Wearable payments, particularly conducive for small to medium-sized transactions, are gaining traction. The increasing integration of NFC payment systems in mobile devices, alongside growing comfort with contactless cards and adoption of contactless point-of-sale readers, promises further growth prospects. Additionally, the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) fosters the market for invisible payments. This trend is fueled by the expanding use of connected devices and advancements in VR and AI technologies, propelled by mobile application developments. The digitization wave in banks is anticipated to gain momentum as institutions focus on linking card management systems with diverse token service providers.
