Market Dynamics of Smart Card IC Market
Drivers: Rise in contactless payments post COVID-19 outbreak
Earlier, most people were using contact-type smart cards. However, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, people shifted towards contactless payment options. Contactless payment refers to a no-touch form of payment using a credit, debit, or gift card on a point-of-sale (POS) system equipped with adequate technology. Also, they are transactions made by tapping a contactless chip card, payment-enabled mobile device, QR code, or wearable device over a contactless-enabled payment terminal. These cards use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and near-field communication (NFC) to process transactions. These cards emit short-range electromagnetic waves containing information to be captured by the POS system and processed to complete the transaction.
Restraints: Data security of eSIMs
eSIM cards allow remote provisioning of SIM profiles by enabling automatic interoperability between connectivity platforms and multiple SIM operator profiles. However, the operational flexibility achieved by an eSIM would be futile if its security is compromised. An eSIM collects and stores the credentials of mobile network operators (MNOs) in the inbuilt software of the device, which is prone to various security hacks. In addition, it operates through multiple MNOs and physical platforms, thereby exposing it to the risk of the virtual environment.
Opportunities: Increased adoption of IoT by end-user industries
Industry 4.0 fully automates manufacturing processes with very little to negligible human interference. It works on the Internet of Things (IoT), cyber-physical systems, cloud robotics, cloud computing, and big data. Thus, IoT has gained the attention of technology vendors, organizations, business decision-makers, and consumers in recent years. Industry players are focusing on adopting IoT due to continuous technological advancements, increasing cellular connectivity & data transfer rates, and cloud infrastructure development. IoT can be implemented using various smart and connected devices integrated into various smart payment systems, smart homes, and connected cars. Additionally, the rising penetration of IoT in telecommunications, BFSI, transportation, and retail end-user industries has led to an upsurge in the demand for low-cost and highly efficient smart card IC used for secured data storage and data transmission.
Challenges: Global semiconductor chip supply shortage
The trade war between the US and China added to the supply chain disruption. China being a key supplier of semiconductors, delay in the supply of semiconductors due to the increased tariffs rates and pandemic has created impediments in the development of smart card ICs industry. The increase in demand for chips and supply shortage has resulted in increased lead times as well as their price. Wafers, substrates, logistics, assembly and testing, and operational costs have all become more expensive. In turn, semiconductor suppliers are being forced to pass their costs on to their customers to help stabilize the supply chain.
Smart Card IC Ecosystem
The ID cards application is projected to register the highest CAGR 2022 to 2027
The ID cards application is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to rising focus of government of different countries on transforming paper-based ID cards into chip-based ID cards to avoid illegal activities and protect citizens from identity theft. Governments of several European countries have rolled out circulars for mandating the integration of chips in ID cards. In response to this, there were over 9 million university students using student smart cards across 279 universities in Spain, Portugal, and Latin America.
Government and healthcare segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The government and healthcare segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of the segment can be attributed to an increase in the adoption of eID cards, including national cards, drivers’ license, ePassports, ID cards, eHealth cards, and other vital government documents. The COVID-19 pandemic fueled the need to regulate the use of e-government documents as they can help in tracking citizen details. Further, e-health cards have the potential to improve the patient experience by storing key medical data and medication history and by serving as an electronic prescription. These cards can also be used to securely store social security numbers.
Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest growth in the smart card IC market during the forecast period
The smart card IC market in the Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest growth during the forecast period due to the ongoing technological innovations in the telecommunications, BFSI, government and healthcare, and transportation verticals, the increasing adoption of digital technologies, and rapid urbanization and industrialization. Other prominent drivers are the rising adoption of IoT devices, increasing deployment of digital technologies in retail, corporate, education, and entertainment industries, and growing electrification in the transportation industry.

14.5 AUTHOR DETAILS
The study involved four major activities in estimating the size of the smart card IC market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the total market’s size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to determine the market sizes of segments and sub-segments.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources have been referred to identify and collect information relevant to this study. The secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers, certified publications, and articles from recognized authors; directories; and databases. Secondary research has been mainly conducted to obtain key information about the industry's supply chain, value chain of the market, the total pool of key players, market classification and segmentation according to industry trends, geographic markets, and key developments from both market- and technology-oriented perspectives.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research has been conducted after understanding and analyzing the smart card IC market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with key opinion leaders from both the demand- and supply-side vendors across four major regions—North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World (South America, the Middle East, and Africa). Approximately 25% of the primary interviews have been conducted with the demand side and 75% with the supply side. This primary data has been collected mainly through telephonic interviews, which consists 80% of total primary interviews; however, questionnaires and e-mails have also been used to collect the data.
After interacting with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report.
