Smart Cards Market : Industry Analysis And Detailed Profiles Of Top Industry Players

Leading providers of smart cards technologies and solutions have developed strategies focused on contact, contactless, and dual-interface services, reports Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a new study. The four leading players in this space – Gemalto NV, Infineon Technologies AG, NXP Semiconductors NV, and Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) GmbH – collectively hold major shares in all the keyregions relevant to the use of smart cards and smart card terminals.

According to TMR, the Smart Cards Market is highly competitive and has been consistently dominated by the above four players. However, companies are currently vying to maintain modern standards and implement smart card-based services and software as a part of their core business strategies.


On the other side of the growth spectrum are new entrants such as Watchdata and Eastcompeace Technology Co., Ltd. that are improving stiff competition by introducing innovative solutions designed to fit the way users want to conduct transactions today.

Improved Security Emerges as Most Wanted Smart Card Feature in BFSI and Retail Industry

Conventional magnetic strip smart cards are currently extremely vulnerable to data theft threats due to the absence of proper encryption codes between the hacker and a user’s personal financial data. This is easily negated by smart cards, where the EMV chip-on-chip feature adds a high level of security to the user’s data.

Additionally, the advent of NFC, IoT, net banking, and ecommerce have all contributed to the growing preference of smart cards across the world. The use of NFC and IoT is contributing vastly to the more efficient implementation of smart cards, while the booming ecommerce industry is making it imperative for banks to employ stronger security measures against data theft.

EMV chips are rapidly becoming the global standard for user financial access and transactions. They offer a safer way for users to perform all transactions in the modern scenario of possible threats to data and the protective measures that can be taken.

High Adoption Cost Continues to Make Vendors Hesitate from Smart Card Tech

“A large percentage of consumers still use magnetic strip cards for their daily transactions,” states a TMR analyst. “The U.S., for instance, had delayed their nationwide adoption of EMV smart cards, allowing a longer window of time for hackers and fraudsters to gain access to all the information stored in a user’s magnetic strip card.” Currently, about 130 countries are officially implementing the use of smart cards and replacing magnetic strip cards.

The problem that applies especially to traders and banks in developing nations is the high implementation cost associated with smart card technologies. From the perspective of traders and vendors, the high initial cost of installing EMV terminals is not worth it until they receive a confirmation from major banks over the use of smart cards on a large scale. Until then, they will stick to magnetic strip card terminals. At the same time, banks were pushing the responsibility on to the vendors, claiming that they cannot distribute smart cards until there are enough terminals for users.


Most of these complications are being addressed currently, such as shifting the liability of adoption from banks to vendors and lowering the cost of terminals and cards through government incentives and using efficient production means. However, nations from Asia Pacific and Latin America still have large percentages of consumers using magnetic strip cards, still maintaining the risk of theft at a high level.

Contact Smart Cards Will Retain Leading Market Revenue Share

The global smart cards revenue generation is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.4% within a forecast period from 2016 to 2023. This market is expected to be valued at US$8.5 bn by the end of 2016 and US$14.1 bn by the end of 2023.

Contactless smart cards are expected to expand at a CAGR of 11.5% from 2016 to 2023 in terms of revenue. They form the fastest-growing segment in terms of type. Contact smart cards will still manage to be the top grossing segment for the same forecast period, and is expected to reach US$7.7 bn by 2023.

Growing Industrialization will Influence the Oil Condition Monitoring Market Growth

Major players in the global oil condition monitoring market are Bureau Veritas, Intertek, Parker Hannifin Corporation, Castrol Limited, Spectro Analytical Instruments, General Electric Company, and Insight Services Unveils TestOil Oil is an important resource used in various machineries and engines in order to provide lubrication and for temperature regulation. After prolonged usage, oil starts to lose out on its properties and becomes less functional. Using such oil can damage the engine or machinery in which it is being used. Hence, it is necessary to keep a check on the condition of oil and replace or upgrade it after its optimum usage. Oil condition monitoring means keeping a timely check on the quality of oil that is being deployed in the system and taking the necessary steps so that the oil serves its purpose to the fullest. The monitoring also helps in increasing the efficiency of the machine, reduces downtime, and reduces cost, thereby increasing profits. Request A Sampl

Communications Electronics Cooling Systems Market Growth to be Stimulated by Brisk Technological Expansions

The Electronic cooling systems have wide range of applications in many industrial domains for their nature of keeping the electronic device cool and maintain the temperatures optimally required by the device.
