New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 07/24/2018 --The smart cards market is expected to increase from US$ 10,367.3 Mn in 2018 to US$ 20,041.7 Mn by 2026, expanding at a CAGR of 8.6% in terms of revenue during the forecast period (2018-2026). In this report, the smart cards market is tracked in terms of value and is calibrated to obtain the market revenue estimates. Access to the Internet has become easy with the help of smartphones & computers, and its usage has increased substantially due to the increasing demand for online banking & shopping and access to e-Government services. Due to the increasing adoption of e-commerce services and cashless payments, online payments have witnessed significant growth globally. Along with increasing online payments, security risks linked with them also have increased significantly. Smart cards help enhance security, reduce fraud, and enable the utilization of value-added services for end-user industries, which include banking, telecommunication, healthcare, transportation, and governments.
However, multicurrency payment methods and increasing threat of data thefts/hackers/viruses are some of the major challenges that hamper the growth of the smart cards market.
The main issue occurs with embedded chips because all data and passwords are stored in them. Another method of hindering the data on embedded chips is by heating these chips at a high temperature or exposing them to UV light. This helps remove their security lock. In this manner, any person can steal the data of a cardholder, which is a significant concern.

Nowadays, consumers are more focused on using different types of cards, i.e. contact and contactless smart cards. Contact smart cards offer one-touch payment options to consumers, whereas contactless smart cards communicate through NFC or radio-like cell phones. Contactless smart cards are more secure and advanced than contact smart cards. Contactless smart cards consists of small sophisticated computer-type chips located inside the card, which delivers high-level security to protect identity, privacy, and the financial information of consumers.
