India Smart Card Market Growth and Size, Trends, Scope, Top Companies, CAGR Status, Market Analysis, Future Opportunities and Forecast Till 2033
Smart cards are actual cards with an integrated circuit chip placed in them that can process and store data. These cards can be used for payment, access control, identity, and authentication, among other things.
Smart cards can be used to make secure transactions and enable secure access to a range of services with a variety of devices, including card readers, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, and automated teller machines (ATMs). Unlike conventional magnetic stripe cards, the embedded chip on the card offers an additional layer of protection.
According to SPER Market Research, ‘India Smart Card Market Size- By Interface, By Type, By Offering, By Functionality, By Application – Regional Outlook, Competitive Strategies and Segment Forecast to 2033’ states that the India Smart Card Market is estimated to reach USD XX billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 7.68%.
Drivers: The Indian smart card business is growing rapidly, owing to strong government support and an increasing emphasis on security. In 2022 alone, India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) completed over 74 billion transactions, with a large chunk secured by smart card technology. This demonstrates the trust placed in smart cards to protect the large number of digital transactions that occur across the country. Beyond finance, India is at the forefront of smart card innovation in a variety of areas. The world’s largest health insurance scheme, Ayushman Bharat, uses smart cards to improve healthcare access for more than 500 million people. Similarly, the Delhi Metro, a critical transport network for millions of passengers, uses a smart card ticketing system to boost efficiency and cut wait times.

Restraints: Costs and infrastructure are impeding the adoption of smart cards in India. Security features are expensive, estimated to be up to ten times more expensive than traditional magnetic stripe cards; more affordable organisations catering to large populations, such as the Aadhaar program, will struggle with this. To gain an advantage in the market, players must find ways to use alternative materials, accelerate the production process, or take advantage of economies of scale. Another barrier to entry into the Indian smart card market is infrastructure, as in 2021 there were only 5 million point of sale (POS) terminals in the country, not all of which could process contactless smart card payments.
The COVID-19 pandemic has considerably hastened the adoption of contactless payments in India’s smart card sector. During the peak months of 2020-2021, contactless card issuance increased by a spectacular 200%. This trend is consistent with consumer preferences; surveys show that 60% of Indian consumers prefer contactless payments due to its convenience and hygienic benefits. To promote further contactless adoption, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) raised the transaction limit from INR 2,000 to INR 5,000. Furthermore, the integration of contactless cards with mobile wallets and payment systems has seen a 40% year-over-year user growth, driven by India’s enormous smartphone user base of over 750 million.
North India is the biggest smart card consumer in India, owing to a mix of infrastructure and demography dominating the industry. To begin with, it is the location of some of the most populous states in the nation, such as Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana. With over 400 million people living in all three states combined, there is a significant demand for financial services and public transit. The key players of this market are ALIOTH, CardLogix Corporation, Eastcompeace Technology Co., Ltd, HID Global Corporation, and Others.
