In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. CEOs, VPs of Product Development, heads of automotive semiconductors, and commercial directors from NFC chip producers, automotive Tier 1 suppliers, and OEMs were examples of supply-side sources. Heads of connected car programs, managers of vehicle electronics procurement, directors of fleet management, and technology leads from automakers, commercial vehicle operators, and mobility service providers were examples of demand-side sources. In addition to confirming product development schedules and validating market segmentation, primary research provided information on supply chain dynamics, pricing tactics, and patterns of technology integration.

Global market valuation was derived through revenue mapping and vehicle unit analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of 40+ key semiconductor manufacturers and automotive Tier 1 suppliers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America
Product mapping across passive NFC chips, active NFC chips, on-board units, mobile devices, and NFC tags
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to automotive NFC portfolios
Coverage of manufacturers representing 72-78% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (vehicle production volume × ASP by region) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations across passenger cars, commercial vehicles, two-wheelers, and off-highway vehicles
