Market Trends of Near Field Communication Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Near Field Communication Market according to our research experts:
Healthcare Industry Offers Potential Growth
- NFC offers multiple advantages in the field of medical applications as well. A promising approach proposes various health monitoring methods and recording of patients' health status by using NFC. Patient monitoring through NFC, which includes ideal technology for medicine for patient monitoring, such as smart sensors, which measures patients' physical condition, transmits the data to nearby monitoring devices, mobile networks, and medical professionals for monitoring and evaluation. Moreover, increasing wearable technology is further boosting the market growth as NFC also finds substantial applications in modern wearables.
- Solution for patient monitoring can be standard or customized to get personalized treatment and secure medical data. Hence, many companies are designing customized NFCs for patients. NFC tags provide secure physical access for tracking patient data. Home monitoring by NFC-enabled devices is increasingly used, and thus, medical data can be transmitted to the physician.
- NFC's innovations in patient monitoring are "MiniME," which is a biometric device developed by Ergonomi design monitors, with parameters like ECG, blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, and many other features transmit the data using NFC cloud. Similarly, Impak Health has developed home-based cardiac, pulmonary, and sleep monitoring devices and incorporated NFC in "Rhythm Track," which tracks ECG and sleep cycle. Furthermore, the increasing number of innovations in NFC has led to the development of technology.
- The rapid development and adoption of information technologies are changing the medical sector globally. For instance, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has mandated the safety, effectiveness, and security of the medical devices in the country. Therefore, Near Field Communication in healthcare is expected to have the largest share in the United States.

North America Holds Significant Market Share
- North America is expected to dominate the market, followed by Europe due to the presence of advanced technology and many global players. Most North America payments are made through an app or by using a special SIM card that is equipped with near field communication (NFC) technology. The SIM cards are enabled with the fastest and most stable internet connections to assure that payments are seamless when connecting to NFC terminals.
- Also, mobile phone manufacturers across the US and Canada are making it easier to access the mobile payments technology by including it in all new mobile phones and making the applications work across all available mPayment solutions.
- NFC Forum, a leader in developing NFC technical specifications for more than a decade, is committed to the sustained development and deployment of NFC technology across North America to support the development of the Internet of Things (IoT). With the aid of their dedicated testing laboratories in North America, they are authorized to evaluate and certify technologies for compliance.
- The US population has taken considerable measures toward medical data security. Medication errors are increasing in the United States and can lead to increased harm to patient's health, healthcare utilization, and costs. NFC reduces medication errors and potential adverse drug events (ADEs), thereby driving the market's growth in the region.
