Powered Smart Card Market : Quantitative Market analysis, Current and Future Trends to 2015 - 2021

Smart cards are small-sized cards with embedded chips, which can receive, transmit, and process information as and when required by end users. The chip is powered by an external reader through induction. Smart cards are made of plastic such as polyvinyl chloride. Other materials that are used for manufacturing smart cards are polyethylene terephthalate-based polyesters, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, or polycarbonate. Smart cards are used to perform functions such as identification, authentication, data storage, and application processing within a certain restricted area. Smart cards are also useful in providing security authentication within large organizations.
