Global Contactless IC Card Chip Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Contactless IC Card Chip market size is expected to reach $ 8060 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 7.7% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
A contactless IC card chip is an integrated circuit (IC) chip that communicates with a card reader device through wireless radio frequency technology without physical contact. Its core technologies include RFID (radio frequency identification) and NFC (near field communication), which are widely used in various scenarios such as electronic payment, identity authentication, access control systems, and public transportation. These chips have built-in antennas and microprocessors, which can transmit and process data through wireless signals within a certain range. Due to their high security, convenience and durability, contactless IC card chips have been widely used and recognized worldwide.
From the perspective of market regional distribution, Asia Pacific and North America rank first and second in terms of contactless IC card chip shipments, respectively. In 2023, the two regions' combined contactless IC card shipments account for 70% of the world's total. In the past three years, the sales share of the Asia Pacific region has steadily increased, mainly due to the year-on-year growth in the business scale of emerging markets represented by China, India, and Indonesia. It is expected that the Asia Pacific region will become the main growth engine of the global contactless IC card chip market in the future. Populous developing countries such as China, India, and Indonesia are crucial to the overall healthy development of the contactless IC card chip market.
The application modes of contactless IC card chip companies are mainly divided into IDM mode and Fabless mode. The IDM mode integrates IC design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, and even downstream electronic terminal product production. Most integrated circuit companies adopted this mode in the early days. Currently, only a very small number of companies can maintain it. For example, NXP Semiconductors, Infineon and Unigroup. The Fabless model is only responsible for the circuit design and sales of chips, and outsources production, testing, packaging and other links, such as Shanghai Fudan Microelectronics Group.
The main players in contactless IC card chips include NXP Semiconductors, Infineon, Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics, Samsung, Unigroup Guoxin Microelectronics Co., Ltd., Shanghai Fudan Microelectronics Group Co., Ltd., etc. The top three global manufacturers accounted for 44% in 2023.
In the context of the information age, the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries has generated a large number of application demands for integrated circuit products, including financial security, security monitoring, the Internet of Things, etc. The vast downstream application fields have steadily supported the continued development of the contactless IC card chip industry.
