What Drivers Are Propelling the Growth of Smart Card Reader Market Forward?
The escalating use of digital transaction methods is anticipated to boost the advance of the smart card reader market. Digital transaction methods represent a range of ways to transfer value electronically, eliminating the need for physical money. These methods embrace a broad spectrum of technologies, from mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) systems and contactless transactions, to digital wallet payments, peer-to-peer digital transfers, social media payments, cryptocurrency payments, and cross-border or FX payments. The surge in digital transactions largely stems from the growing use of smartphones and internet access. Smart card readers can sync with digital transaction methods, primarily through contactless payments which use near-field communication (NFC) technology. For example, UK Finance, a trade association from the UK, reported in July 2024 that the UK witnessed a total of 18.3 billion contactless payments in 2023, a seven percent rise from 17.0 billion in 2022. Contactless payments made up 38 percent of all transactions in the UK. As such, the escalating use of digital transaction methods is key in fuelling the advance of the smart card reader market.

Which Emerging Trends Are Transforming the Smart Card Reader Market in 2025?
In the smart card reader market, leading companies are advancing products like biometric sensor payment cards to increase security and user convenience. Essentially, these biometric sensor payment cards refer to groundbreaking cards that incorporate biometric technology, specifically fingerprint sensors, to augment the safety and convenience of activities involving credit, debit, and prepaid cards. The technology used is fingerprint-matching, with the fingerprint template of the user securely stored on the card's chip. This ensures only authorized individuals, authenticated by their fingerprints, can perform transactions. An example of this is the SECORA Pay Bio, introduced in September 2024 by Germany's semiconductor company, Infineon Technologies AG. It's a comprehensive biometric payment card solution, designed in compliance with the standards of Visa and Mastercard. Infineon's advanced SLC39B system-on-chip (SoC) secure element and the FPC1323 sensor come together in this cutting-edge solution. This creative blend of Fingerprints' sensor and Infineon's SLC39B SoC Secure Element results in a dual-interface module, dubbed the Infineon biometric coil on module (BCoM). The SLC39B Secure Element boasts an inbuilt power source, substantial memory space, multiple peripherals, and exceptional contactless functionality.
