Decreasing price of SIM cards along with the requirements to migrate to EMV standards are fueling adoption of smart cards across the telecommunication and financial services, retail and loyalty sectors. Moreover, with increasing security threats and fraudulent activities, the increase in the demand of highly secure and expedited transaction, communication and identification solutions from several sectors such as telecommunications, healthcare, government, and transportation, is also contributing to the growth of the market.

Smart cards are classified based on components as memory based smart cards and microcontrollers based smart cards. Memory based smart cards are powered by card reader and are mainly used in low-end and mid-end SIM cards. Microcontrollers based card usage is driven by the added functionality such as security and intellectual data processing capabilities. Based on incorporation of the components, different smart card types are available in the market, which include contact smart cards, contactless smart cards, dual interface smart cards and hybrid smart cards. Of these smart card types, contact smart cards are expected lose market share to contactless and other card types.
