Smart Card Material Market: Segmental Overview
Based on material, the smart card material market is segmented into polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyethylene terephthalate-glycol (PETG), and Others. The polyvinyl chloride segment held the largest share of the smart card material market in 2020. It is the most common and strong type of plastic used for card manufacturing.
Based on type, the smart card material market has been segmented into contact cards, contactless cards, and multi-component cards. The contact cards segment held the largest share of the smart card material market in 2020. Contact cards need to be inserted in card acceptor devices for completing payments. Pins attached to this reader make contact with pads on the surface of the card to read and store the information contained in the card’s chip. They are used in applications such as network security, electronic cash transfers, government IDs, campus IDs, e-commerce, and health cards.
Based on application, the smart card material market has been segmented into BFSI, government, telecommunication, retail, healthcare, hospitality, and others. The telecommunication segment held the largest share of the market in 2020. In the telecommunications industry, smart cards are used in two primary applications—prepaid (stored value memory cards) telephone cards and microprocessor smart card-based subscriber identity module (SIM) or universal integrated circuit card (UICC) in mobile phones.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Smart Card Material Market
The massive outbreak of the pandemic temporarily distorted the operations of industrial bases in the global market. Industries such as hospitality and retail were impacted by sudden disturbances in operational efficiencies and disruptions in supply chains owing to the shutdown of national and international boundaries. The COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted the government sector as administrative offices and other activities came to pause during the lockdowns imposed in early 2020. The growth of the smart card materials market was hampered by the dwindling sales of smart cards due to the severe effects on the hospitality and modern retail industries. However, various countries reopened their business sectors in late 2020, which further propelled the demand for smart card materials in 2021.
The contactless cards segment is the fastest growing segment in the global smart card material market during the forecasted period. Contactless cards are the smart cards with contactless credentials and have a size like credit cards or debit cards. The market for the contactless cards segment is growing due to its various benefits.
