A smart card is a plastic card that comprises an embedded computer chip of microprocessor or memory type that transacts and stores data. This data is usually linked with either information, value, or both and is stored & processed in the card’s chip. However, the card information is executed through a reader that is part of a computing system. These smart cards are in use today through several key applications such as banking, telecom, healthcare, transportation, and entertainment.
The global smart card market is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Factors, such as rapid digitalization, high demand for contactless smart card, surge in cashless transactions, and rise in product demand in the healthcare sector, drive the growth of the market. However, high set-up cost along with data theft & security concern is a major restraint to the global smart card market. In addition, new mode of information security of users enabled by blockchain is expected to create opportunities for the smart card industry. Smart cards can efficiently manage cryptographic keys, thereby enabling secure & efficient transactions in blockchain applications.
Moreover, developing nations tend to witness high penetration of smart card products especially in the telecommunication and BFSI segments. Factors, such as increase in cashless transaction, need for 5G SIM, and growth of IoT technology, accelerate the demand for smart cards.
The global smart card market is segmented into type, end user, and region. By type, the market is fragmented into contact, contactless, and dual interface. Depending on end user, it is segregated into BFSI, telecommunication, healthcare, government, transportation, and others.
Region-wise, Asia-Pacific is expected to be the leading contributor to the global smart card market during the forecast period, followed by North America and Europe. the smart card market trends are analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Asia-Pacific contributed maximum revenue in 2019. However, between 2019 and 2027, the smart card market in Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at a faster rate as compared to other regions. This is attributed to increase in demand from economically developing countries such as India, China, Japan, and South Korea.
The key players profiled in the report include Alioth LLC, CardLogix Corporation, CPI Card Group Inc., Giesecke+Devrient GmbH, IDEMIA, Identiv, Inc., Infineon Technologies AG, NXP Semiconductors NV, Thales, and Watchdata Technologies. These players have adopted various strategies, such as product launch, collaboration, and expansion, to expand their foothold in the industry.
