Key Findings

From application perspective, telecom sector (particularly 3G) dominates the smart card use, while from growth perspective, transport sector remains the most dynamic sector. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the most promising area.
Future of the smart card market depends, to a large extent, on its compatibility with existing systems. The smooth integration of smart cards with the existing legacy systems makes it a cost effective and strong security tool, which will fuel growth.
Strengthened by the technological developments, the global smart card shipment is estimated to have grown nearly 20% in 2007.
