Smart Card Market Growth & Trends:
The global smart card market size is estimated to reach USD 21.73 billion by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2025 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Smart cards play a vital role across diverse domains, including credit cards and various payment cards. They are especially employed in scenarios necessitating not only secure and rapid transactions but also safeguarding personal data. This encompasses credit cards, different payment card types, government IDs, corporate identification cards, and transit fare payment cards. Moreover, these cards extend their utility to serve as legal documentation in instances, such as e-passports and visas. Several key factors significantly influence the growth of the market.
One of the primary drivers is the increasing product adoption within the BFSI sector, where their usage is becoming more prevalent. In addition, there's a notable surge in demand for contactless smart cards, propelling market expansion. The ongoing technological advancements, including the expansion of blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT), play a key role in boosting market growth by introducing innovative possibilities. For instance, in September 2021, Standard Chartered Bank unveiled a cutting-edge smart credit card designed to cater to the evolving digital preferences of clients. This distinctive card is poised to provide everyday advantages tailored to the digital-first way of life. The new smart card brings hassle-free borrowing and a suite of digital rewards and self-service functionalities.
Rapid development in telemedicine and other healthcare technologies is expected to drive the market growth. Patients use smart cards to receive medical care remotely through telemedicine platforms. In addition, the product demand is rising as healthcare providers and patients seek more secure and convenient ways to access medical treatments. For instance, in Belgium, patients are equipped with dedicated smart cards. These cards serve as repositories for the patient's personal health records and medication details. They empower healthcare professionals to conveniently and securely access patients' health information. This innovation emphasizes the substantial advantages of smart cards to modern healthcare practices, streamlining the process of obtaining and sharing critical health-related data.
