A contactless smart card (also known as a contactless RFID card) is a card that does not require physical contact with another cardholder to transmit data. A contactless smart card has a small chip embedded in an antenna that allows it to communicate with a compatible device, such as a card reader or access control system, by simply waving or tapping the card nearby. The use of contactless smart cards is becoming increasingly popular in a variety of contexts, including public transportation, building or event access control, and electronic payments. These cards provide a convenient and efficient solution for transactions and access permissions, as they can be processed quickly and easily without the need for manual input or swiping.

 Prime Determinants of Growth:

The global contactless smart cards market growth is attributed to several factors such as the rise of IoT and connected devices, ease of use and convenience for consumers, and the growing digital payment ecosystem. On the other hand, high infrastructure cost, along with security and data theft concerns, and limited compatibility and infrastructure restricts market growth. On the contrary, integration with IoT and Mobile Devices to create profitable opportunities in the coming years.

Report Coverage & Details:

COVID-19 Scenario:

• The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the contactless smart cards market, reshaping consumer behaviors and accelerating trends that were already in motion. As health and safety concerns grew, people obtained touchless alternatives to traditional payment methods, leading to a surge in demand for contactless payments. This shift was driven by the convenience and reduced physical interaction that contactless smart cards offered. Businesses and governments worldwide promoted contactless transactions to minimize the potential spread of the virus through surface contact. 
• Furthermore, the pandemic had prompted governments and businesses to implement measures that encourage the use of contactless payments. For instance, public transportation systems and retail outlets have promoted the use of contactless smart cards to reduce the risk of virus transmission. Budget-wise, the impact on the contactless smart card market has been largely positive. 

The MPU microprocessor segment to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period-

Based on type, the MPU microprocessor segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the global contactless smart cards market revenue and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. The same segment would also cite the fastest CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period. This is due to the integration of advanced technologies like biometrics and the growing demand for secure access control systems in corporate environments that are driving the adoption of these cards. The MPU microprocessor inside these cards is getting better and more powerful, which helps users to do more things, like store more information or perform more complex tasks. Thus, this factor creates market demand among end users. As the demand for contactless smart cards increases, companies that make these cards or the microprocessors inside them have a big chance to grow their businesses.

The transaction segment to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period-

Based on functionality, the transaction segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for more than three-fourths of the global contactless smart cards market revenue, and is expected to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. Owing to the proliferation of smartphones with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology further promotes this functionality. Furthermore, the integration of contactless cards into various wearable devices, such as smartwatches, presents significant opportunities for market growth, which is driving the growth of the market. However, the security and access control segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 12.0% from 2022 to 2032. Owing to the integration of biometric authentication with contactless access control cards is a growing trend, further bolstering security measures. As the world becomes more digitally connected, the demand for secure access control systems is set to rise, presenting opportunities for market growth. 

The BFSI segment to maintain its lead position during the forecast period- 

Based on industry vertical, the BFSI segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for more than one-fourth of the global contactless smart cards market revenue, and is projected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period. This is due to the rising demand for secure digital payment methods. The growing awareness of contactless technology's benefits, such as faster transactions and reduced physical contact, has spurred adoption. In addition, the integration of biometric authentication with contactless smart cards is a notable trend, enhancing security. Further innovations, such as blockchain integration, enhance the transparency and security of financial transactions and are expected to create market growth opportunities. However, the media and entertainment segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 14.8% from 2022 to 2032. Due to the increasing adoption of contactless payment solutions within this industry.
