Smart Cards Shipments En Route to 20% Growth in 2007
Nov 27, 2006
Just about 2.9 Billion banking, ID, SIM, and other microprocessor smart cards are likely to be shipped by smart card vendors in 2007. This will represent an increase of 20% from the current year (2006), as per Eurosmart – vendor trade association.
According to the association, banking smart cards should touch a mark of 480 Million Units across the globe, mostly credit & debit smart cards conforming to worldwide EMV standard. However, this would include 20 Million contact less cards shipped primarily to the US. The fastest development would be witnessed in security cards, ID and documents, encompassing e-passports and health cards, which would ascend for a consecutive second year by a minimum of 50%.
Developing markets like China and India will continue to supplement most growth in SIM shipments. These countries may again augur ill for the vendors on costs. However, Chinese operators are likely to begin taking shipments of their 1st regular 3G SIM-cards in 2007 and “high end” SIM cards may “take-off” in more developed markets, like Europe.
For subscriber ID module cards, industry’s biggest market segment vendors are expected to ship about 1.8 Billion cards by year-end 2006, representing about 29% above previous year (2005). Most growth in the shipment of banking smart card during the year 2006 came from the rise in sales of EMV cards to Italy, Latin America, Indonesia, and Turkey.
