Top Impacting Factors

Increase in adoption of cashless payments worldwide, rise in demand for the wearable devices due to safety & security during the transactions, and growth in convenience & better consumer experience are driving the growth of the market. However, high cost of wearable wristband devices and limited battery life are expected to hamper the growth of the market. Contrarily, surge in the usage of near-field communication (NFC) technology in wearable devices can be seen as an opportunity for the market investments.

Rise in Demand For Wearable Devices Due to Safety and Security During the Transactions

Increase in adoption of biometric banking wristband for numerous benefits such as fitness, fashion and cashless transaction have experienced significant growth towards wristband banking devices for safe & secure transactions. Furthermore, increase in cyber-attacks on the mobile payment systems globally have shifted the preference of majority of consumers towards the wearable contactless payment methods.

Moreover, majority of banks & financial institutions across the globe have introduced the contactless biometric banking wristband technology to improve the security & convenience of the transaction process. For instance, in 2020, VISA Inc. conducted a study and witnessed a 90% of transactions made in Austria & Czech Republic were made by the means of biometric banking wristband payment method. Therefore, rise in demand for wearable devices due to the safety & security during the transactions is expected to foster the growth of global biometric banking wristband industry during the forecast period.

Surge in Usage of Near-Field Communication (NFC) Technology in Wearable Devices

Near-filed communication (NFC) has been an integral part for the biometric banking wristband payments method. Numerous biometric banking wristband manufacturers such as Apple, Barclays, and other institutions are integrating the NFC technology in the development of the contactless wristband devices. Furthermore, NFC is integrated into the biometric banking wristband for providing easy access & convenience to the consumers during the payment process. For instance, in 2020, Starbucks Inc, has introduced an NFC based wristband order technology for the consumers to pay & order without any contact which therefore helps in preventing the transmission of coronavirus.

Moreover, companies are implementing the NFC in biometric banking wristband for increasing the performance & enhance better user experience. Therefore, the surge in usage of near-field communication (NFC) technology in wearable devices, will boost the growth for the global biometric banking wristband market during the forecast period.
