Near Field Communication (NFC) is a wireless technology and mainly finds application in mobile phones and tablets PC for data exchange and transactions in a close range. It is based on RFID technology and has emerged as an alternative to other wireless technologies for short range data exchange such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other radio protocols. NFC offers added advantage of high security As compared to other wireless technologies. The NFC market has gained significant momentum in recent years due to the ease of using NFC technology and its wide range of applications in various sectors. NFC technology has emerged as a strong contender for replacement of the current transaction and payment techniques owing to its improved security and connectivity features. Products in the NFC market have been categorized into NFC controller ICs (chips), NFC tags, NFC readers and NFC secure elements. NFC secure elements further include NFC micro SD cards, embedded secure elements (SE), NFC subscriber identity module / universal integrated circuit card (SIM/UICC cards). Demand for NFC controller ICs, NFC readers, NFC secure elements and NFC tags is growing across the world. Increasing prevalence of contactless payments across the globe and its application in various sectors is responsible for the growth of the NFC readers and NFC tags market in the last few years. NFC-enabled devices are expected to replace payment cards and authentication and access cards in the coming years to a significant extent.

Worldwide, the shipment for NFC-enabled cellular handsets stood at 264.5 million units in 2013. The mobile phone and tablet manufacturers are increasingly including NFC features in their phones and this is expected to grow during the coming years. Further, most of the already existing point of sale (POS) and transportation systems across the globe use NFC technology, thus considerable infrastructure is already developed for the use of NFC –enabled devices.
