The increasing adoption of biometric-enabled smart cards is expected to be a game changer for the smart card market over the coming years.

Companies such as IDEMIA France SAS, Gemalto N.V., Ingenico Group SA, KONA I Co., Ltd. Fingerprint Cards AB, and ZWIPE AS have launched a range of bio-metric-enabled smart cards for various end-use applications. Further, these companies are also exploring applications of block chain technology to transform the smart card market.

A contactless smart card includes an embedded smart card, secure microcontroller or equivalent intelligence, internal memory, and a small antenna; it communicates with a reader through a contactless radio frequency (RF) interface. Companies such as Gemalto N.V., Giesecke & Devrient GmbH, and IDEMIA France SAS are offering customized solutions using embedding contactless technology to their end users.

Further, chip manufacturing players such as Infineon Technologies AG, NXP Semiconductors N.V., and Sony Corp. are offering new contactless enabled chips owing to their increased demand. This has encouraged providers of smart card readers such as Ingenico Group SA and VeriFone Systems, Inc. to offer contactless smart card readers. The BFSI and transportation sectors are expected to witness a high adoption of contactless smart cards in the coming years.
