Global Smart Card IC Market Projected to Surpass $4.37 Billion by 2029 with 9% Annual Growth

How Are the key drivers contributing to the expansion of the smart card ic market?
The trend of contactless payments is anticipated to spur the expansion of the smart card IC market in the future. Contactless payment, a method in which there is no physical contact with a card reader or terminal during the use of a credit card, debit card, or any other type of payment card, involves the wireless communication between the payment card or device and the payment terminal through radio frequency (RF) signals. Smart cards are plastic cards containing an integrated circuit (IC) chip that stores and processes data, and they serve diverse applications such as identity verification, payment, and access control. The IC of a smart card is integral to contactless transactions, storing and processing payment data such as the cardholder's account details and the transaction value. As an example, Barclays, a bank based in the UK, reported in February 2023 that in 2022, an average UK contactless user performed 220 'touch and go' transactions, up from 180 transactions in 2021. Therefore, the surge in contactless payment is propelling the smart card IC market.
