Market Introduction: A smart card, or integrated circuit card (ICC), is a portable plastic card embedded with an integrated circuit (IC) chip. These cards are used for personal identification, authentication, data storage, and application processing. They can be microprocessors with memory or simple memory circuits. Common applications include identification, financial transactions, public transit, computer security, schools, and healthcare.

Smart cards can be contact-based, contactless, or a combination of both. The universal integrated circuit card (UICC) used in mobile phones, whether as a pluggable SIM card or an embedded eSIM, is a type of smart card. As technology advances, the applications of smart cards continue to expand.

 

Market Drivers:

1. Rise in Adoption of Contactless Payment Methods: Contactless payment methods, which enable wireless communication with payment terminals via radio frequency (RF) signals, are driving the growth of the smart card IC market Smart cards, equipped with IC chips, are crucial for storing and processing payment data in contactless transactions. According to Barclays, the average UK contactless user conducted 220 'touch and go' transactions in February 2023, up from 180 in 2021. This surge in contactless payments is boosting market demand.
2. Increase in Utilization of Smartphones: Smartphones, which include cellular and mobile computing functions, utilize smart card ICs for enhanced security, mobile payments, and authentication. The popularity of smartphones with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology is fueling mobile payment systems such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. Leading manufacturers are introducing advanced technology chips to provide reliable services, augmenting market revenue. In November 2022, Infineon launched the SLC26P security controller for payment applications, based on 28 nm technology.
