Market Analysis and Insights : Global Smart Card Materials Market
With the world entering into the digitization era, the smart card materials market without a doubt is expected to witness a rise in the market value. Currently standing at the market value of USD 1,061.5 million the market is expected to exhibit a market value of USD 1,365.7 million by the year 2028. This means that the smart card materials market will undergo a CAGR of 3.2% for the forecast period of 2021-2028.
A smart card is a card that has a chip embedded in it that holds crucial information about the owner of the card. It is a pocket size card that is majorly used for identification and financial transactions. A smart card has an imbedded microprocessor and is of plastic in nature. Smart card materials refer to the chemical materials that are used in manufacturing a smart card. These chemicals enable the manufacturers to embed and print information over it. These chemicals enable the manufacturers to play with the strength quality of the card as well.
The characteristics of a smart card such as faster and secured exchange of information, protection of an individual’s personal information, easy transactional interface etc. are enabling the smart card materials market to propel. Also, rising demand from the telecommunication sector for smart card will enable the market to witness a spurt growth throughout the forecast period. Moreover with the widening scope for applications for a smart card, the smart card materials market is getting more and more push every day. Developing countries like India shifting to digital market has further done nothing but boosted the market drastically.
Fluctuation in the prices of raw materials that are used as chemicals to manufacture the smart cards is the biggest market growth restraining factor. Threats like fraudulent activities and security-related issues are other factors that may come in the way of smart card materials market from growing.
