Product Definition:
Plastic cards are plastic rectangles that contain an embedded chip and antenna. They are used to make payments, as well as for identification and other purposes.
Contact Cards:
Contact cards are a type of smart card that contains an integrated circuit and can perform the functions of a regular plastic card. They are used in various applications such as transportation, healthcare, banking & finance and identification purposes. The primary difference between contact and plastic cards is that contact cards have embedded electronics whereas plastic cards have conductive coating on their surface; hence making them magnetically compatible with magnetic strip readers while also enabling data transfer through radio frequency (RF) waves.
Contactless Cards:
The contactless cards are the smart cards which have an embedded microchip and can be used for making secure transactions without any physical contact. These smart cards are widely used in public transportation such as buses, metros, and trains to gain access to restricted areas. The major advantage of these contactless card is that it reduces the time taken for transaction clearance as compared to traditional cash or plastic payment methods.
Application Insights:
The payment cards segment dominated the global plastic cards market in 2017, accounting for over 40% of the overall revenue share. The growth can be attributed to a rise in e-commerce and mobile payments that have increased the number of contactless transactions across various applications such as gift and entertainment, retail stores, restaurants and hospitality, transportation systems such as buses and trains. Contactless payment has become popular due to its ease of use compared to swiping or tapping a card.
The access card segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to its increasing adoption at airports worldwide. Plastic access cards are used for gaining entry into restricted areas at airports including secure zones where passengers cannot enter with conventional boarding passes or identification documents alone.
Regional Analysis:
The Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounted for a share of more than 35% in terms of revenue in 2017, owing to high demand from various application segments such as gift, access control, payment and SIM card applications. China is one of the prominent markets for plastic cards due to presence of numerous manufacturing companies along with growing acceptance by consumers as an alternative mode of payment.
North America also held a significant share in terms of volume and is expected to grow at a steady pace over the forecast period owing mainly to increasing adoption by retailers for loyalty programs along with rising number mobile phone users across countries such as U.S., Canada & Mexico who use their phones primarily for making payments instead cash or checks which will drive growth further.
