Top Growth Drivers in the Smart Card Reader Industry: What's Accelerating the Market?
The escalation in the use of digital payment methods is projected to boost the expansion of the smart card reader market. Digital transactions, that involve electronic transfer of value devoid of physical money, cover a plethora of tactics comprising mobile point-of-sale systems, contactless payments, digital wallet transactions, peer-to-peer digital payments, social media payments, cryptocurrency payments, and cross-border or FX payments. This rise in digital transactions has been significantly spurred by the growing use of smartphones and internet access. Smart card readers primarily interface with digital payment systems via contactless payments that use near-field communication (NFC) technology. For example, as reported by UK Finance, a UK trade association, in July 2024, the UK recorded 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. Hence, the escalating use of digital payment methods is fueling the expansion of the smart card reader market.

What Trends Will Shape the Smart Card Reader Market Through 2029 and Beyond?
Prominent players in the smart card reader market are introducing creative solutions, like biometric sensor payment cards, to bolster security and user convenience. Biometric sensor payment cards incorporate cutting-edge biometric technology, particularly fingerprint sensors, to augment security and user-friendliness in credit, debit, and prepaid card transactions. The cards leverage fingerprint recognition technology, securely storing the user's fingerprint blueprint on the card's chip. This technique ensures that only verified individuals can carry out transactions by physically verifying their fingerprint. For example, in September 2024, Infineon Technologies AG, a German semiconductor firm, unveiled the SECORA Pay Bio. This holistic biometric payment card solution is compliant with Visa and Mastercard norms and merges Infineon's advanced SLC39B system-on-chip (SoC) secure element with the FPC1323 sensor. This groundbreaking solution embeds Fingerprints' sensor and Infineon's SLC39B SoC Secure Element in a twin-interface package known as the Infineon biometric coil on module (BCoM). The SLC39B Secure Element comprises an integrated power supply, considerable memory space, multiple peripheries, and stellar contactless performance.
