NFC Applications to Account for Over EUR 10 Billion in 2018 Says Smart Insights
Marseille, France (PRWEB) February 18, 2014 -- Intelling and CNRFID are publishing a new Smart Insights Report “NFC applications beyond payment to boost adoption,” that sheds a new light onto the development of NFC markets. Even if many analysts agree on the fact payment is not the only application to benefit from NFC technology, this Smart Insights Report is the first to focus on all value added applications that are taking advantage of these newly available possibilities to develop new growth markets.
According to the Smart Insights Report “NFC applications beyond payment to boost adoption,” these NFC applications beyond payment will together account for EUR 10.4 billion in revenue by 2018.
The global availability of NFC handsets unlocks a new expansion path for applications that take advantage of this now-existing infrastructure. NFC represents an opportunity to develop a new merchant to consumer relationship making one-to-one marketing really operational. NFC applications bring users new means of interactions with their environment. Thanks to NFC applications, users can benefit from new services, or enjoy additional convenience in existing day-to-day functions. Also, NFC brings increased efficiencies to enterprise applications, simplifies hardware development, eases user interface development, etc.
Thierry Spanjaard, CEO of Smart Insights declares: “the industry has been awaiting this for years! Now the NFC handsets are sufficiently widely distributed to become a base for a global application development. NFC technology brings many possibilities that remain insufficiently explored for the time being.”
This Smart Insights Report includes sections about each NFC market beyond payment: retail, loyalty, marketing, consumer services, enterprise services, industrial services, transportation, healthcare, gaming, government ID, automotive, smart cities. The report includes a qualitative analysis, and quantitative forecasts for each market segment.
