Report Highlights
The boom days of the smart card industry are over and steady if unspectacular growth in smart card shipments is now set to be the norm. Global shipments and revenues for smart card vendors will increase but Datamonitor believes that these will be in single rather than double digits in the coming years.

The wireless industry will remain the most lucrative industry for smart card vendors, yet its overall importance will drop. It will account for 43% of smart card vendors’ total revenues by 2006, down from 49% in 2002, making vendors marginally less vulnerable to market fluctuations.

Of all the vertical markets analyzed in this report, Datamonitor believes that security/access will experience the strongest growth in revenues, rising to $137 million in 2006. These revenues relate solely to the cards themselves, hence there is a far larger market for integrators and solution providers.

Analysis of the barriers and challenges currently facing the smart card industry will enable vendors to improve their product positioning
