Which Growth Factors Are Influencing Smart Card IC Market Expansion?
The expansion of the smart card IC market is predicted to be spurred by the increasing adoption of contactless payments. Contactless payment is a method that necessitates no physical interaction with a card reader or terminal when using equivalents credit or debit cards. It allows the payment card or device to connect wirelessly to the payment terminal using (RF) radio frequency signals. Smart cards, which contain an integrated circuit (IC) chip embedded into a plastic card, store and process data. They're used in a variety of applications, including identity verification, payment processes, and access control. The smart card IC, which stores and processes payment data like the cardholder's account details and the transaction sum, is used in contactless transactions. For example, according to Barclays, a bank based in the UK, in 2022, contactless users in the UK averaged 220 'touch and go' transactions, up from 180 transactions in 2021. As a result, the smart card IC market is being propelled by the increasing adoption of contactless payment.
