執行摘要

全球智慧卡市場持續穩定擴張，儘管成長緩慢，但主要受兩大因素驅動：數位金融普惠和政府主導的身分認同現代化。 2025年，該市場規模為105.4億美元，預計到2034年將達到142.6億美元，年複合成長率為3.32%。根據世界銀行預測，到2024年，將有超過14億成年人銀行帳戶。在南亞、非洲和東南亞，以智慧卡為基礎的國家認同和支付系統正作為國家計畫的一部分進行實施，這為金融普惠奠定了結構性的長期需求基礎。

到2025年，接觸式銀行卡將佔據46.8%的市場佔有率，這主要得益於EMV晶片和PIN碼銀行卡標準的普及。該標準已被80多個國家的支付網路強制採用。非接觸感應卡到2025年將佔32.5%，成為成長最快的細分市場。萬事達卡預計，到2025年，其全球超過75%的面對面交易將採用非接觸式支付。雙介面銀行卡將佔20.7%，隨著銀行發行結合了EMV接觸式支付和NFC非接觸式支付功能的單卡以確保其銀行卡組合的未來發展，雙介面銀行卡正變得越來越普及。

到2025年，通訊業將以27.9%的佔有率成為終端用戶需求的主要驅動力。這主要得益於SIM卡的全球部署，隨著5G部署的推進，SIM卡正經歷從4G到5G UICC的升級週期。銀行、金融和保險（BFSI）產業仍將以24.6%的佔有率位居第二，這主要得益於新興市場EMV晶片卡遷移的完成以及北美和歐洲向高階金屬卡發行模式的轉變。從區域來看，亞太地區將佔38.9%的佔有率，這主要得益於中國的銀聯網路、印度的Aadhaar生物識別ID卡計畫以及韓國先進的交通IC卡基礎設施。

關鍵市場洞察

支持上述數據的關鍵分析結果：

  • 預計到 2025 年，非接觸式卡將佔據 46.8% 的市場佔有率，這反映了 EMV 晶片在全球 80 多個國家的普及，而這又得益於 Visa、Mastercard 和 American Express 的責任轉移計劃。
  • 非接觸感應卡的普及速度正在迅速加快。根據EMVCo統計，目前全球超過96%的刷卡交易都採用了EMV技術，非接觸式支付在全球持續快速成長。
  • 預計到 2025 年，雙介面卡將佔據 20.7% 的市場佔有率，隨著發卡機構擴大採用支援非接觸式和非接觸式交易的單卡解決方案，雙介面卡的發展勢頭強勁。
  • 通訊產業佔終端用戶佔有率的 27.9%，這與 5G 的全球部署直接相關。 GSMA Intelligence 預測，到 2030 年，全球將有 56 億個 5G 連接，每個連接都需要相應的 UICC 或 eSIM 卡。
  • 醫療智慧卡正在經歷快速成長，這得益於德國、法國和韓國等國強制要求發放健康卡的國家電子健康記錄 (EHR) 計劃。
  • 亞太地區 38.9% 的市佔率反映了印度的 Aadhaar 計畫（該計畫將 13 億公民連接到生物識別智慧 ID 基礎設施）以及中國推出的第二代居民身分證 (RIC)。

全球智慧卡市場概覽

智慧卡是一種口袋大小的卡片，內建微處理器和儲存晶片，可安全地儲存和處理數據，用於身份驗證、支付和數據交換。其生態系統包括半導體供應商、卡片製造商、個人化服務供應商、軟體供應商、設備製造商以及銀行、電信、政府、醫療保健和運輸等終端用戶產業。

智慧卡廣泛應用於支付、SIM卡、國民身分證、電子護照、交通、醫療保健和門禁等領域。市場成長主要受數位支付、政府數位化和5G網路擴展的推動，預計2023年全球卡片網路交易量將達到6,871.9億筆。

市場動態

市場促進因素

  • 向 EMV 過渡和全球支付數位化：根據 EMVCo 的說法，到 2023 年，EMV 晶片交易將佔全球面對面刷卡交易的 96%，從而支持全球金融服務對非接觸式卡的需求。
  • 5G部署推動SIM卡和UICC卡更新：GSMA Intelligence預測，到2030年，5G連線數將達到56億。每個5G用戶都需要一張相容5G的UICC卡或eSIM卡，這將導致通訊智慧卡的持續更新周期。
  • 政府數位身分計劃：各國政府正在推行舉措智慧卡採購計劃，例如歐盟的「數位身分錢包」計劃，旨在到 2030 年覆蓋大規模 % 的歐盟公民；以及印度的 Aadhaar生物識別身份計劃，該計劃連接了 13 億居民。
  • 非接觸式支付基礎設施的擴展：據萬事達卡稱，到2025年，超過75%的面對面交易將採用非接觸式支付。 NFC終端的普及正在推動全球銀行對非接觸式和雙界面卡的需求不斷成長。

市場限制因素

  • eSIM 和數位錢包替代方案的威脅：Apple Pay、Google Wallet 和 eSIM 的普及導致高階智慧型手機實體卡和 SIM 卡的發行量下降，尤其是在北美和歐洲。這是因為基於設備的支付方式在非接觸式交易中持續佔據市場佔有率。
  • 商品化和利潤率壓力：非接觸式和標準 SIM 卡正面臨激烈的競爭，尤其是來自亞洲製造商的競爭，這給大規模生產的標準化智慧卡行業的利潤率帶來了壓力。
  • 網路安全與複製風險：進階 SIM 卡交換攻擊和非接觸式盜刷技術對消費者對智慧卡安全性的信心構成持續威脅，需要不斷升級安全協議，這增加了製造商的研發成本。

市場機遇

  • 醫療智慧卡的推廣：除了德國的 eGK、法國的 Carte Vital 和韓國的健康保險卡之外，中東和東南亞地區醫療智慧卡的普及率不斷提高，這代表著巨大的發展機遇，儘管這些地區的普及率仍然很低，但這主要得益於各國推行的數位醫療保健舉措。
  • 生物識別智慧卡的整合：雖然具有指紋認證功能的生物識別支付卡在獲得 Visa 和 Mastercard 的認證後已經開始商業部署，但其普及程度仍然有限​​，這為未來的擴展創造了巨大的機會。
  • 交通和多應用卡：包括印度國家通用出行卡在內的城市交通智慧卡計畫正在新興市場擴展，實現將交通、支付和公共服務連接整合在一起的多應用卡。

市場挑戰

  • 半導體供應鏈集中度：智慧卡積體電路的供應集中在恩智浦半導體、英飛凌和義法半導體三家公司，地緣政治緊張局勢和對有限供應商的依賴給智慧卡製造商帶來了採購風險。
  • 監管合規性正變得越來越複雜：GDPR、印度的《數位個人資料保護法》（2023 年）和中國的《個人資訊保護法》（PIPL）都造成了合規要求的分散，使得處理擁有者資訊的全球智慧卡運營商的跨境資料管理變得更加複雜。

新的市場趨勢

1. 將生物識別整合到支付卡中

指紋辨識支付卡正從試點階段邁向早期商業部署，法國巴黎銀行等銀行已開始發行生物識別卡。由於其普及率有限且定位高階，智慧卡市場正在湧現一個新的高價值細分領域。

2. eSIM 和 iSIM 與傳統智慧卡的整合

eSIM 的普及速度正在加快，預計到 2024 年出貨量將超過 5 億張。這項轉變正通訊業者從銷售實體 SIM 卡轉向提供更高價值的 eSIM 和基於平台的服務。

3. 政府推動電子身分證和電子護照現代化

超過 140 個國家已經實施了符合國際民航組織標準的電子護照，歐盟的數位身​​分錢包目標是到 2030 年實現 80% 的採用率，這推動了對多功能國家電子身分平台的需求。

4. 非接觸式EMV和開放回路交通系統的整合

開放回路型交通系統正在全球擴展。倫敦每天處理超過300萬次非接觸式乘車，紐約、新加坡和雪梨也正在引入類似模式，因此對雙介面支付卡的需求正在上升。

5. 採用多應用 JavaCard 平台

基於JavaCard的多應用智慧卡在亞太地區的政府專案中正日益普及。馬來西亞的「MyKad」就是一個多應用智慧卡應用的典型例子，它整合了國民身分證、駕照、健康數據和電子錢包功能。

產業價值鏈分析

智慧卡價值鏈涵蓋半導體製造、晶片設計、卡片製造、個人化、發行和生命週期管理，每個階段都有其獨特的競爭、利潤率和技術投資要求。

NXP、英飛凌和意法半導體等積體電路供應商透過取得專利的安全元件晶片和認證的安全標準維持高利潤率，而卡片製造商雖然面臨價格壓力，但透過個人化和合規性能力來維持價值。

智慧卡產業的技術趨勢

安全元件和晶片結構

安全元件是防篡改晶片，可為智慧卡提供安全保障，通常具有 EAL5+ 或更高級別的認證。恩智浦半導體的 SmartMX/MIFARE 和英飛凌的 SLE 平台在全球範圍內主導EMV、政府頒發的身份證件和交通智慧卡晶片部署的發展。

近距離場通訊 (NFC) 與非接觸式技術

ISO/IEC 14443 標準支援 13.56 MHz接觸型智慧卡通訊，資料傳輸速度高達 848 Kbps，可滿足高速交通運輸中的交易需求。同時，EMV 非接觸式核心標準支援在全球範圍內的開放回路型交通系統中部署。

eSIM 和遠端 SIM 卡配置 (RSP)

GSMA SGP.22 和 SGP.32 透過 SM-DP+ 基礎架構實現遠端 SIM 卡配置，並支援空中設定檔啟動。這種從實體 SIM 卡向無線 SIM 卡的過渡正在擴展平台服務生態系統。

生物識別整合

支援指紋識別的支付卡內建感應器，可透過卡片匹配技術將生物識別模板安全地儲存在卡片上。基於 ISO/IEC 19794-2 標準，Visa 和 Mastercard 的專案實現了商用生物識別卡的部署。

市場區隔分析

按類型
