NFC Applications: Adoption Outlook
•
1 gefällt mir•729 views
The market for NFC solutions is evolving in a way that is very different than from what most recent media coverage implies. Vendors that buy into this portrayal and plan their business around this information risk strategic missteps and may fail to capitalize on real present-day NFC opportunities. During this QuickCast, VDC's John Shuster discusses the recent hype around NFC and the implications that coverage has for suppliers based on VDC's recent findings, which suggest the excitement around NFC may be premature.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- VDC Research Group (VDC) provides exceptionally detailed direct-contact primary market research and consulting services to many of the world's largest technology suppliers, innovative start-ups and leading investors.
- The firm is organized around six practices, each with its own focused area of coverage, but all committed to the firm’s core philosophy.
- This philosophy is applied in our syndicated research and in the wide variety of other services we provide to meet our clients specific tactical and strategic decision support needs. All of our services are built on a foundation of highly skilled professionals applying robust methodologies to VDC’s large and continuously refreshed datasets.
- Limited infrastructure and device availabilitySlow adoptionDifficult to justify/Lack of education Low supply-side revenuesFacilitated adoption in APAC and EMEA due to existing infrastructure, higher user comfort levels and government initiatives.Majority of revenues from horizontal applications like payment, ticketing, marketing and access controlIncreased enterprise investment in NFC solutions for internal (i.e., non customer-facing) applications, including physical security/access control, logical/network security/access control, workforce monitoring/management and tracking/tracing applications.The emergence of alternative (i.e., non-smartphone) NFC device form factors during 2012 and beyond will further broaden NFC’s appeal as well as the potential use cases it can serve—both for enterprise and consumer end users.Governmental investment in NFC initiatives in certain country markets (e.g., Korea, France) will help drive regional contactless infrastructure deployment, application development and adoption.NFC application opportunities/use cases range from the very simple (P2P, pairing, information access) to the more complex (contactless payment, e-commerce). VDC expects most near-term activity will be related to applications that are relatively simple to deploy, do not require the cooperation of multiple stakeholders/decision makers and are deployed within the confines of a “closed loop” environment. Certainly, contactless payment and other commerce applications represent a tremendous opportunity for NFC; however, in most regions, VDC expects that these applications will remain challenged by barriers related to stakeholder cooperation and the availability of contactless infrastructure.
- Account Director should always be most prominent. Do not give VP or analyst extensions.
