Contactless Ticketing Solutions Market Forecast, Trend Analysis & Competition Tracking - Global Market Insights 2018 to 2028

Global Contactless Ticketing Solutions Market: Introduction

When it comes to the contactless ticketing solutions, the two main options available are mobile NFC (Near Field Communication) and smart cards. Contactless cards are the ones customers are most aware of. In contactless ticketing, people just hold their card a few inches away from a reader, to securely authenticate or to pay for a passenger’s pass or ticket. A contactless ticketing solution by a mobile NFC can store tickets on the mobile phone digitally, and the NFC-enabled mobile phone can be used as a contactless transport ticket. To top up, a passenger has to just tap the mobile device on the NFC reader at the barrier or when boarding the bus or train. Many countries are already enjoying the benefits of near field communication technology for contactless ticketing solutions. Due to the increase in fraudulent activities and the need to provide secure services to customers, contactless ticketing solution providers are offering security-based solutions to fulfil this huge demand in the contactless ticketing solutions market. The introduction of reliable and safe contactless ticketing solutions has brought about a wide range of applications of contactless ticketing in different sectors. Contactless ticketing solutions can also be used for fare collection via mobile ticketing and tolls.

Global Contactless Ticketing Solutions Market: Drivers and Challenges

Contactless payments or contactless ticketing solutions are fast-paced without the requirement of any password or pin to process the payment. Thus, these contactless ticketing solution based transactions are performed quickly without compromising on privacy or security. This is one of the major factors driving the growth of the contactless ticketing solutions market. The increasing demand for mobile and web applications, and real-time information, are some of the major factors driving the growth of the contactless ticketing solutions market. Faster and easier transactions make the boarding of passengers smoother, and hence, is another factor anticipated to drive the growth of the contactless ticketing solutions market during the forecast period. Moreover, the increased adoption of NFC payments is anticipated to foster the demand of the contactless ticketing solutions market over the forecast period.

However, concerns regarding security and privacy of contactless ticketing solutions have created lack of trust among the public, and the absence of a pin facility during the contactless ticketing solutions based transaction further increases the concerns of customers. This is one of the key factors hampering the growth of the contactless ticketing solutions market. Moreover, contactless ticketing cards are accepted at less locations as compared to magnetic striped cards, which is another factor restraining the growth of the contactless ticketing solutions market.
