Furthermore, initially the contactless cards were used in the form of travelling tickets only but now it has evolved and is allowing the consumers to make payments for almost anything. Consequently, India contactless payment market is expected to witness high traction during the forecast period. However, security issues related to technology and difficulties regarding replacement of POS terminals can act as a major impediment to the growth of India contactless payment market in the coming years.

Based on component, the contactless payment market is bifurcated into solution & services.
