Contactless Payments Allows People to Make Payments, Without Using Cash or Swiping the Card

Contactless Payments
Contactless Payments

A Contactless payment system can be used with credit cards, debit cards, smartphones, and key fobs. They use radio-frequency identification (RFID) and near-field communication (NFC) to communicate with merchants. It is the future of payments. The card contains a chip and a radio antenna. This antenna picks up the signal when it's close to a reader and allows the transmission of information to the point-of-sale terminal. The customers must 'Tap' or 'Wave' their card over a card-reader to make contactless payments.

The global Contactless Payments Market was valued at US$ 11.2 Bn in 2019 and is expected to reach US$ 26.3 Bn by 2027 at a CAGR of 12.9% between 2020 and 2027.

Contactless cards work lot like mobile wallets. The transaction is completed by simply holding or tapping the card on a contactless-enabled card reader. This is possible on cards that have a WiFi symbol. Contactless cards use NFC technology, which allows users to tap and pay at the terminal. People can just tap or wave their card and make the payment. Six in ten consumers in Germany now make contactless payments with their smartphone or a contactless card (60%), an increase from 56% in 2021 and 47% in 2020, according to Postbank.

There is no limit to the number of times one can use a contactless payment option. However, the biggest security issue with contactless credit cards will involve physical possession of the card. No PIN or signature is typically required when using contactless payment, so if the card is lost or stolen it could be used by someone else without easy detection.

Oilfield Chemicals Help Improve the Efficacy and Efficiency of Activities at an Oilfield Site

Image
  Oilfield Chemicals  Chemical compounds used in oil and gas extraction operations are known as oilfield chemicals. The oilfield chemical used as drilling fluids can include suspension, fibers, biocides, and clay control, as well as polymers, surface modifiers, suspension and rheology chemicals, fillers and particles. Oilfield chemical help improve corrosion protection, drilling optimization, prevent mud loss in different geological formations, improve oil recovery, and stabilize drilling fluid in high pressure and high temperature environment, and many others. Global Oilfield Chemicals Market was valued at US$ 68,855.3 Million in 2021 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period (2022 to 2030). Oilfield drilling is a process of boring hole into to the earth crust for natural gas and oil. As the drilling fluid generates hydrostatic pressure in the borehole, it hinders fluid and gas penetration. Oilfield chemical are used to improve the efficiency ...

Global Aniline Market Is Expanding Owing To Growing Adoption of Aniline in Formulating Rubber Processing Chemicals and Increasing Demand for Premium Furnishings and Automotive Interiors

Image
 Aniline Market  Aniline is a basic aromatic amine, it is found naturally in coal tar, tobacco smoke, and in foods. The compound is used as a coloring agent and also as an intermediate for the production of polyurethane. It is a colorless to brown liquid that has a burning taste. When heated, it produces toxic fumes. There is evidence that aniline can cause kidney damage and red blood cell breakdown. Exposure to this dye may have adverse effects on the spleen. As an aromatic amine, it is a weak base. This means that it reacts vigorously with strong oxidants. During oxidation, it forms carbon-nitrogen bonds. These compounds can produce carbonyl products, which can fragment proteins. They also contribute to protein aggregation. The chemical has been identified as a probable carcinogen. It is also suspected that aniline dyes can affect the liver. It can have a negative effect on the eyes. Growing automotive industry is estimated to augment growth of the global aniline market duri...
