December 2015 by Marc Jacob
Gemalto has been recognized by three market research analysts as the world’s number one supplier of contactless and mobile solutions for public transportation. ABI Research, Juniper Research and IHS have all published independent reports that rank Gemalto as the global leader in this fast-growing sector. They scored the company highly for its market position, commitment to innovation, international presence and evident success in implementing a series of pioneering NFC applications for major public transportation networks.
Transport providers in over 50 cities and countries are now using Gemalto’s solutions, including the world’s busiest metro systems in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. These schemes have enabled dramatic improvements in customer services and efficiency, resulting in better experience and shorter queues for millions of commuters. Gemalto’s solutions also offer operators the opportunity to host additional value-added applications such as payment, access or mobile marketing, leading to new partnerships with other merchants and enterprises.
The factors cited by ABI in awarding first position to Gemalto include the company’s broad product portfolio, high scores for implementation and innovation, and expansive global reach and penetration[1]. Juniper highlighted Gemalto’s pivotal position in the NFC market, supported by an extensive international presence[2]. IHS reports, which cover transport card shipment volumes, also rank Gemalto as number one for share of this worldwide market[3].
