About Smart Cards
Smart cards are pocket-sized plastic cards embedded with integrated circuits (ICs) and are also known as microchips. These are primarily used for security purposes such as authentication and identification. Smart cards are also used for data storage and application processing.
Smart cards are broadly classified into contact-based and contactless cards. Contact-based smart cards have a contact area of approximately 1 square cm and are used by inserting them into a smart card reader. On the other hand, contactless smart cards function with the help of radio frequency, which eliminates the need for any physical insertion into the card reader.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global smart cards market to grow at a CAGR of 8.84% during the period 2017-2021.
