According to a new market report published by
Lucintel, the future of the smart card integrated circuit (IC) market looks
attractive with opportunities in telecommunication, payment and banking,
transportation, e-government, and others. The global smart card IC market is expected to reach an estimated $4.3
billion by 2023 with a CAGR of 4.0% from 2018 to 2023. The major drivers for
the growth of this market are increasing usage of Subscriber Identification
Module (SIM) cards for mobile phones, growing adoption of electronic
identification cards for various e-governance projects, and increasing usage of
smart cards in payment and banking industries.
In this
market two types of cards, such as microcontroller and memory based are used. Microcontroller
based smart card IC will remain the largest type, and it is expected to
witness the highest growth during the
forecast period as it enables secure payment facilities, authentication, and
information storage for consumers.
The smart card IC market is categorized into three interface types: contact, contactless,
and others. The contactless interface will be the largest interface type, as it
provides more storage, speed, convenience, and secure reading and writing of
data.
The global
smart card IC market is being used in various end use industries, such as e-government,
telecommunication, transportation, payment and banking, and others. Telecommunication will remain the largest application
segment during the forecast period supported by the rising adoption for subscriber
identity modules (SIM) cards for mobile phones.
Asia Pacific is expected to
be the largest region over the forecast period supported by increasing demand
for smartphones in China and India. The government of various Asian countries
mandates smart card IC in national ID cards, driving licenses, and other
government identification cards, which is expected to drive the Asian smart
card IC market during the forecast period.
Emerging trends, which have a direct impact
on the dynamics of the industry, include the development
of smart card IC that can provide more security and integration of smart cards with biometrics. Infineon Technologies
AG, NXP Semiconductor, Samsung Electronics, STMicroelectronics, and CEC Huada
Electronic Design Co. Ltd are among the major smart card IC providers.
