Key Market Drivers

1. Rise in Adoption of Contactless Payment Methods
The growing preference for contactless payment methods has emerged as a key driver of the smart card IC market. These payments allow transactions without physical touch between the payment card and terminal, offering enhanced convenience and security. According to Barclays, the average UK contactless user performed 220 "touch-and-go" transactions in 2022, reflecting a notable increase from 180 transactions in 2021. Such trends underscore the increasing reliance on contactless technologies, boosting demand for smart card ICs.

2. Increase in Utilization of Smartphones
The widespread adoption of smartphones, particularly those equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, has amplified the usage of mobile payment systems like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. Smart card ICs play a pivotal role in these systems by ensuring secure payments and robust authentication. Leading manufacturers are leveraging advanced technologies to enhance the reliability and performance of their offerings. For instance, Infineon's launch of the SLC26P security controller in 2022 highlights the innovation driving market growth.
