Historically, from 2017 to 2021, the use of wearable payment devices expanded at a CAGR of roughly 27%, with the major element helping this rise being their benefits over traditional payment methods, such as card and cash payments. Wearable payment gadgets, for example, provide no-contact payments, which is very useful in the current COVID-19 pandemic. Payment via smart devices or credit cards has been more popular in recent years due to the scarcity of wearable payment devices, but this is about to change.
Over the next ten years, the industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 29%. Because of rising hygiene concerns throughout the world, the primary reason impacting growth is a preference for contactless payments.
Wearable payment refers to payment transactions conducted using wearable devices that are connected with wireless technologies such as NFC and RFID. Wearable payment gadgets not only provide clients with a simple and contactless means of payment, but also assure safety and cleanliness, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Customers prefer cashless transactions for sanitary grounds due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Mastercard, for example, saw a 40% increase in contactless payments in the first quarter of 2020. Similarly, 60% of VISA users living outside the United States have utilized tap-to-pay technology for contactless payments.
As a result, various financial institutions, banks, and payment service providers have begun to adopt the digital payment agenda; nevertheless, in order to assure consumer satisfaction, these payment devices must be equipped with enhanced security measures.

It is critical to recharge the gadget on a regular basis to guarantee its smooth operation; if the device becomes drained, it quickly disconnects the user. This may result in data insufficiency or a missing data cluster, affecting the payment process.
Wearable payment devices are becoming smaller than ever, thanks to better technology and form factors, necessitating the use of small-sized batteries to power payment capabilities.
Furthermore, when a wearable gadget is powered by complex operating systems, a large battery backup is required to assure continuous performance. The direct connection of the gadget to the cellular network, on the other hand, can quickly deplete the battery of wearable devices. It might have a negative influence on battery life.
NFC, RFID, and host card emulation (HCE) technologies are all used in various wearable and contactless payment devices. Many wearable device makers, including Apple, Samsung, and Huawei, are incorporating NFC and RFID technologies into their wearable devices and payment platforms, creating attractive potential for the wearable payment device industry to flourish.
Similarly, industry participants are implementing host card emulation technologies to provide customers with quick access to any goods by presenting product information on their smart devices.
