Powered Smart Card Market

Introduction

Smart cards are IC-based cards that accumulate and retrieve information using various computer systems. Smart cards primarily act as cost-effective devices to store, manage, and maintain credentials for end users. Microcontroller-based powered smart cards facilitate intelligent communication and have on-card dynamic data processing abilities.

Demand for microcontroller-based powered smart cards is primarily driven by added security over memory-based smart cards. Microcontroller embedded powered smart cards utilize a card operating system (COS) similar to the Disk Operating Systems (DOS) in a computer.

Increasing adoption of microcontroller-based powered smart cards in the banking and financial sectors (EMV cards) in Asia Pacific and the U.S. is expected to drive the expansion of the global powered smart card market size over the forecast period of 2020 to 2030.

Powered Smart Card Market Trends

Growing demand for secure and reliable payment transactions, improved security for offices and residential and commercial buildings, and rising number of mobile phone connection subscribers, worldwide, are factors likely to drive the growth of the global powered smart card market.

However, high costs of migration to powered smart cards, exploitation of stolen / lost contactless cards, and technical challenges faced by enterprises are some of the restraints expected to hinder the growth of the global powered smart card market over the coming years.

A major challenge faced by global powered smart card market players is the reluctance of small retailers and shopkeepers in adopting contactless PoS systems.

Major opportunities for growth in the global powered smart card market lie in the convergence of powered smart cards and additional services that card issuing companies could include as part of their offering.
