7. Future Outlook
The changing global scenario is expected to turn out to be one of the key drivers behind the rising
demand for smart cards. The Telecom Market in India is already booming with the 3G spectrum building
up, there will be yet more expansion with the enhanced adoption of 4G network. Further, the penetration of mobile phones in rural areas in turn increasing the demand for SIM cards would also result in
growth in the telecom sector.
Banking is another sector where the demand for smart cards is rising as smartcards are slowly changing
over from being made of magnetic strip cards. Thus, this vertical is also expected to witness a growth in
smart card adoption in the years to come.
Further, ID verification is another field that will experience a growth in the demand for smart cards. With
the aim to secure and safeguard identities against theft, this vertical will receive special attention.
For instance, the Delhi Metro Railway Corporation (DMRC) has been using the technology extensively.
The demand rose from 0.45 Million to 1.32 Million from the first year of implementing the technology,
growing to 2.1 Million. There has been almost a fivefold increase in demand within a span of just three
years.
As per the government’s guidelines, all states and union territories will have to compulsorily start issuing
smart cards for all driving licenses (DL) and registration certificates (RC). Thus, Upgrading DL and RC
books from paper to smart cards is going to result in high volumes.
Also, in the current manufacturing scenario, 50% of the smart cards are still being imported. But with
the number of players setting up new facilities in India, more than 70-80% of manufacturing is expected to be done locally in future.

8. Opportunities & Challenges
Opportunities

can pay their tickets by swaping a smart card.
• Demand for plastic money
Spending through debit or ATM cards has increased by 45% year-on-year during 201112. Further, the shift towards the VISA international Cards from the debit cards in the

9. Challenges
• Implementing Smart Card System requires Substantial Infrastructure
Investments.
For instance, Only 50% of the current ATMs are with nominal s/w and h/w upgrades
which can accept EMV chip cards, remaininmg h/w require significant upgrade, for example, back-end systems and point-of-sale terminals or even replacement.Thus implementation of EMV based bank cards are further low.
• Declining prices of the smart cards
Firstly, costs of smart cards are declining as production volumes rise. Further, prices are
also affected due to the considerable drop in the prices of chips used in it.
• Bureaucratic Delays
For instance, a number of government projects such as the UID, E-passports, EPFO, etc
have been delayed or cancelled due to problems like lack of funds, technical issues, legal
wrangling, etc.
• Lack of standards to ensure interoperability among varying smart card
programs
Mobile service providers, transport operators and banking systems etc need to converge
their efforts regardless of their different business objectives i.e market must be stable and
based on proven and trusted standards.
• Limited Awareness and resistance to technological changes.
