据IMS Research最新的“智能卡及智能卡芯片数据集(8)”与相关研究中显示, 2010年智能卡芯片市场将达到5.8亿美元。
此外,研究报告的撰写者、高级市场分析师Don Tait特别指出:“2009年,智能卡与IC供应商的总收入实际上是1.85亿美元,约下降9.2%。虽然他们具备成长发展的要素,但是受整体不景气的经济环境影响,制造商不得不缩减储量并在价格冲击下使得总体收入受到了负面影响。不过预计这种情况在2010年应会得到改善。
在此Tait表示: “在2010上半年大多数的IC供应商业绩已经得到明显改善。此外,随着整体利好的环境使得产品的需求在回升,从而令制造商信心大增,在产品制造上的速度明显加快。
SIM卡、银行在线支付和医疗以及政府行业的重要终端用户预计2010年期间在出货量和收入方面都将有所增长。随着银行支付趋向EMV芯片卡(Europay、万事达卡( MasterCard ) 与 威士卡(VISA)三大国际组织英文名称的字首所组成)发展,其在非接触式/双接口卡片方面需求明显增加。另外,加之移动设备市场环境的健康发展,这些都将有助于刺激行业需求。从而将有助于智能卡芯片市场在2010年达到5.8亿美元。”[nextpage]

IMS Research Forecasts Smart Cards IC Shipments to Reach 5.8 Billion in 2010
In its latest smart card and smart card IC dataset (published August 2010), IMS Research has concluded that the market for smart cards ICs is forecast to reach 5.8 billion units in 2010.
Senior market analyst and report author Don Tait says, “2009 was particularly tough trading conditions for smart card IC suppliers with total revenues actually declining 9.2% to $1.85 billion, despite their being growth in terms of units. The economic downturn, destocking by card manufacturers and price erosion all had a negative impact on revenues. This situation is projected to improve during 2010.”
Tait continues, “The first half of 2010 has seen a marked improvement in the financial performance of the majority of IC suppliers. Moreover, smart card manufacturers have also seen an upturn in demand for their products. Confidence is returning to the sector and re-stocking by smart card manufacturers is gathering pace.”
“Key end-user sectors such as SIM cards, payment & banking and health & government are projected to grow in shipment and revenue terms during 2010. The migration towards EMV in the payment & banking sector, an increase in the demand for contactless / dual interface cards and a much healthier mobile device market are all projected to help boost demand. This will help to grow the market for smart card ICs to this 5.8 billion unit level in 2010.”
