Market Insights:

Smart cards are integrated circuit (IC-based) devices for various electronic applications. These devices are used by connecting to a smart card reader by physical or contactless connection. Smart cards are equipped with IC chips that can hold more information than traditional magnetic strip and bar code cards. This enables better security features making cloning and another misuse of smart cards difficult. Due to better security over traditional cards, the demand for smart cards will continue accelerating in the coming years.

The rising penetration of smartphones worldwide is the most significant factor driving the smart card market growth. Smart cards enjoy strong adoption in the telecommunication industry due to their use in the subscriber identity modules (SIM) cards for mobile phones. Thus, the rising number of mobile phone subscribers worldwide is expected to retain strong market growth in the coming years. Further, the demand for smart cards is also driven by the proliferating adoption of these cards across various other applications. The banking sector and ID cards are already being issued using smart cards in many countries. This is another major factor fueling the market growth.

The global smart cards market is segmented, based on its types, into the following categories

  • Contact-based Smart Cards
  • Contactless Smart Cards
  • Dual-interface Smart Cards
  • Hybrid Smart Cards

As of 2014, contact-based smart cards accounted for the largest market share, in terms of revenue, of the global smart cards market. Contact-based smart cards are widely used across prime applications such as telecommunication and payment cards. Additionally, contact-based smart cards are commonly used in ID cards and physical access control systems. Since these cards are cheaper as compared to the other types, the dominance of the segment is estimated to persist throughout the forecast period.

The contactless smart cards segment is estimated to register the highest growth in the global smart cards market during the forecast period. These cards offer better security as compared to contact-based cards and are cheaper as compared to dual-interface and hybrid smart cards. This is the prime factor anticipated to fuel the adoption of contactless smart cards in the global market. Prime applications for contactless smart cards are payment cards (banks, transportation, retail, etc.), identity (ID) cards, and healthcare informatics.

Based on application, the smart cards market is segmented into the following categories:

  • Telecommunication (Mobile phones, Entertainment, Network security, etc.)
  • Payment (Banks credit/debit cards, Retail payment, and loyalty cards)
  • Security (ID cards and Physical access)
  • Healthcare Informatics

The global smart card market was led by the telecommunication segment as of 2014. Smart cards are widely used in the subscriber identity modules (SIM) used in mobile phones and similar devices. The rising penetration of smartphones and other subscriber identity module (SIM) based mobile devices worldwide is the prime factor boosting the segment growth. Further, with the increasing number of mobile phone subscribers worldwide, the segment is estimated to retain its dominant position in the market throughout the forecast period.

The telecommunication segment is followed by the payment segment accounting for the second largest revenue share worldwide, as of 2014. The payment segment comprises various applications, including debit/credit cards (issued by banks) and other payment cards (fuel stations, grocery stores, e-commerce, etc.). National banks are increasingly shifting towards issuing smart cards as credit/debit cards. As a result, the segment is estimated to retain its second dominant position in the market in the coming years. The healthcare segment is estimated to register the highest growth in the market in the near future.

The global smart cards market is segmented, based on its components, into the following categories

  • Memory Card-based Smart Cards
  • Microcontroller-based Smart Cards

The global smart cards market dominated the microcontroller-based smart cards segment as of 2014. The microcontroller-based smart cards are capable of storing larger amounts of information as compared to the memory card-based smart cards. Additionally, due to the larger information stored, these cards offer better security features and can carry out the on-card functions.

Microcontroller-based smart cards are popularly used in debit/credit cards, SIM cards, and other subscriber cards. Due to rising advancements in the microcontroller-based smart cards segment (such as dual-interface and hybrid smart cards), the segment is estimated to retain its dominant position throughout the forecast period in the global market.

Memory card-based smart cards are used in applications such as identity wherein data reflection is required. These cards offer lesser security features and storage. As a result, memory card-based smart cards are used across a few applications. The segment is estimated to show sluggish growth during the forecast period.

On the basis of geography, the global smart cards market is segmented into regions and countries.

  • North America
    • US.
    • Canada
  • Europe
    • Germany
    • France
    • UK.
