"NFC has reached the point of
no return," says ABI Research’s John Devlin. "It all hinged
on handsets; and next year we will see half-a-billion devices in the hands of
consumers as it becomes more widely integrated."The number of NFC devices in use will exceed 500 million in 2014, with 285 million shipped this year alone, according to ABI.
Companies like Blackberry and
Samsung have implemented narrow strategies around NFC. As a result
they are setting themselves apart.
Others, like LG and Sony, are horizontally
integrating NFC into a broad array of products—not only mobile phones
and tablets, but PCs, peripherals, speakers, TVs, cameras, games and
appliances.
