The mobile ticketing industry has witnessed remarkable changes in recent years due to the increased uptake of smartphones as well as consumer demands for convenience in ticket purchase procedures. One of the key trends in the mobile ticketing sector is the move towards contactless ticketing solutions. With the COVID-19 pandemic still raging across countries, there has been an increased emphasis on limiting physical contact so as to maintain social distancing. This type of system allows users to buy and validate their tickets without any face–to–face interaction or even paper tickets. It is gaining traction in sectors such as live events and public transportation, among other attractions, because it offers secure and hygienic ways through which customers can access these services.
Another trend that characterizes the mobile payment industry is that it supports the inclusion of digital wallets or mobile payment applications into its systems since people nowadays opt to use their phones as a source of making payments. Additionally, market trends in mobile ticketing involve the adoption of advanced technologies like Near Field Communication (NFC) and Quick Response (QR) codes.NFC only requires a compatible reader where smartphone users touch their devices against it so as to find out whether they have valid tickets or not; after all, there's no need for manual scanning processes or holding physical tickets. QR codes, however, allow users to scan unique barcodes displayed on their handsets from which tickets are validated. These technologies have resulted in speedy, convenient, and secure mobile ticketing processes.
Another key trend in the market is the integration of mobile ticketing into transportation services that were once considered traditionally paper-based. Public transit agencies and digital ride-sharing platforms have both deployed mobile ticketing as a means to streamline the payment process for daily commuters. Through this service, they seek to reduce queues and waiting times, increase operational efficiency, and improve overall customer satisfaction, among others. Moreover, these mobile ticketing industry trends include diversification of operations into new verticals. This was after it had taken root in events such as entertainment and traveling. Some of these are sports events, museums, theme parks, or even parking lots, with diverse industries being able to access them with seamless ticketing solutions.
