Key Influencer in the Smart Card Reader Market 2025: Digital Payment Surge Fuels Growth In The Smart Card Reader Market Driver

What combination of drivers is leading to accelerated growth in the smart card reader market?
The smart card reader market is set to benefit from the rising use of digital payment methods. This form of payment involves transferring funds electronically, thus removing the need for physical cash. There are multiple techniques encompassed within digital payments, which include mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) systems, contactless payments, digital wallet payments, peer-to-peer digital payments, social media payments, cryptocurrency payments, and cross-border or FX payments. The recent surge in such digital payments can be attributed to the widespread adoption of smartphones and internet connection. Smart card readers have the ability to connect with these digital payment forms, predominantly through contactless payments that engage near-field communication (NFC) technology. As an example, the UK-based trade association, UK Finance, reported in July 2024 that the UK recorded a total of 18.3 billion contactless payments in 2023, a growth of seven percent from 17.0 billion in 2022. This means 38 percent of all UK transactions were made up of contactless payments. Therefore, the ongoing rise in digital payment forms is fuelling the expansion of the smart card reader market.

How are the latest trends influencing the growth of the smart card reader market?
Leading firms in the smart card reader market are pushing boundaries by creating revolutionary products like biometric sensor payment cards to optimize both safety and user-friendly effectiveness. Biometric sensor payment cards utilize unique payment features, including fingerprint sensors, to amplify the security measures and overall ease of use when dealing with credit, debit, and prepaid card transactions. This approach embraces fingerprint recognition technology, where the user's fingerprint model is tightly guarded on the card's chip to ensure transactions are conducted by authorized persons only, as they must confirm their identity using their fingerprint. For example, Infineon Technologies AG, a semiconductor enterprise based in Germany, introduced the SECORA Pay Bio in September 2024. This encompasses a holistic biometric payment card solution that aligns with the requirements set by Visa and Mastercard, integrating Infineon's exceptional SLC39B system-on-chip (SoC) secure element with the FPC1323 sensor. This avant-garde project synthesizes Fingerprints' sensor and Infineon's SLC39B SoC Secure Element into what is referred to as Infineon biometric coil on module (BCoM). The latter flaunts an in-built power source, generous memory capacity, an array of peripherals, and superior contactless functioning.
