Demands for highly secure smart cards are expected to increase, which will ultimately increase the need for smart card readers and related terminals. Increasing information security requirements relating to user credentials in the healthcare area are likely to fuel this need. The growing availability of small-sized IC chips with enhanced functionality built into them is anticipated to assist hospitals and other organizations in providing technology-enabled smart cards to their staff members and patients, necessitating the use of readers to facilitate system access. Furthermore, the adoption of cutting-edge technology and a rise in new entrants by companies are both contributing to market expansion.
Due to supply chain interruption and other healthcare budget constraints, COVID-19 has had an impact on smart card reader suppliers in 2020 to some extent. Since the market for cash transactions is under increasing pressure and because contactless transactions are outperforming everyone's expectations, financial information encryption is in demand. In the healthcare industry, financial encoding on smart cards can provide secure verification or checkout, facilitating market growth for readers and terminals in the upcoming years. The market is also expected to grow since contactless payments from the healthcare smart card and the use of readers can automate the processing of patient data and bill payments.
The market is also supported due to the rising adoption of digitalized healthcare systems like electronic health records (EHR), which can be converted into searchable medical databases and create an "advanced communication infrastructure" for the medical field that will enhance clinical practice as well as stimulate drug research. This would ultimately influence new competitors to penetrate the market. For instance, Advanced Card Systems Ltd., a well-known provider of PC-linked smart card readers in Asia Pacific, entered the healthcare industry by releasing the eH880 health card reader along with its Software Development Kit (SDK) for the global e-Health market. This move was taken in response to the rising potential for revenue growth in the healthcare industry as a result of the paradigm shift toward digitization.
Regional Insights
In 2022, Europe's revenue share was the highest at over 30.04%. Demand for products in this region is anticipated to be driven by expanding efforts by various governments and private organizations to offer high-quality healthcare services. The European Health Insurance Cards could be obtained free of charge by citizens of 32 countries, which will eventually drive the market for smart card readers and terminals to develop. Numerous European countries have their own distinctive national healthcare ID cards, which will eventually encourage new companies to offer new products in Europe and support the market during the forecast period. It is projected that these factors would hasten market expansion.
The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at the fastest rate of over 15.56%, due to the forecast period due to factors including advanced technological services and supporting government actions. Additionally, it is anticipated that the regional market would surpass all other markets by 2032.
