Market Overview

The growth of the wearable payment device market is primarily driven by growth in the adoption of wearable devices and contactless cards due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, increasing demand for secure contactless payment, and the growing adoption of NFC technology. In the early stages of the pandemic, there was wide reportage about the virus surviving on surfaces for up to a few hours, which led to panic and paranoia about touching unknown surfaces in public places among people.

Most countries and economies sanctioned lockdowns ranging between a few weeks to a few months and introduced social distancing in public places to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus. During these times, wearable payment devices and contactless payment methods witnessed increasing adoption due to the safe and secure payment environment offered to the customers and avoiding any contact with any other person or surface.
