According to research firm Berg Insight , about 100 million mobile phone with NFC will be sold in 2012, about triple the sales from last year.
Handset vendors released more than 40 NFC-enabled models in 2011, hoping to tap emerging market for mobile payments.
NFC enables data to be exchanged wirelessly over distances of a few centimeters, meaning mobile phones can be used to pay for goods, store electronic tickets, download music and swap photos and business cards.
Berg Insight said it expects the global market for NFC phones to grow to 700 million phones in 2016 from 30 million in 2011.
