Bluetooth and NFC to Remain Significant Technologies in Wireless Connected Devices Market
Wireless technology has become vital in various types of communication, allowing users to communicate and connect over long distances without any restrictions. Since it was first introduced in the latter half of the 19th Century, there has been tremendous progress in the same, which has led to the development of advanced technology such as Bluetooth, Near Field Communication (NFC), Wi-Fi, LoRa, and more, being used in a plethora of applications and devices.
Out of these wireless technologies being used in wireless connected devices, Bluetooth has been the most popular, as it offers several benefits such as ease-of-use, compatibility, and most importantly, security. Bluetooth devices use radio waves to operate, and the system allows for more than one device to connect with each other. This technology is being increasingly used in cell phones, laptops, computers, and wireless headsets. In 2018, Bluetooth technology, for use within the wireless connected devices market, witnessed sales of ~ 2.1 Bn units, a figure that is slated to double by the end of the forecast period in 2027, to hit the ~4.3 Bn unit mark.
The popularity of Bluetooth as a technology is followed closely by NFC, which accounted for around ~37% of the total share of the wireless connected devices market in 2018. The segment is expected to grow at a significant ~8% CAGR over the forecast period, to hit the ~4 Bn unit mark by 2027. This growth can be attributed to benefits that it offers, such as convenience, improved operational efficiency, and specifically, enhanced safety and security features. The popularity of these two wireless technologies has had a significant and positive influence on the growth of the global wireless connected devices market over the years.
