A smart card, a type of chip card, is a plastic card that contains an embedded computer chip either a memory or microprocessor type which stores and transacts data. This data is usually associated with either value or information, or both, which is stored and processed within the chip. Smart card materials refer to chemical materials that are utilized in the manufacturing of these cards. These materials support the embedding and printing of information over them.In 2020, Asia Pacific held the largest share of the global smart card material market. The demand for smart card materials in this region is increasing due to the growing use of smart cards in the telecommunications sector. Additionally, the rising globalization trend; and the proliferating banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) industry are key factors favoring the smart card material market growth in the region.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Smart Card Material Market
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has drastically altered the status of the chemical and materials sector and impacted the growth of the smart card materials market.The significant decline in the performances of several industrial sectors has impacted the demand for smart card materials. The impact of the pandemic varies across the different application segments. A surge in the data traffic and voice services has benefitted many telecom players, including broadband and mobile data center operators. However, the lockdown measures imposed by governments disturbed the supply chains of raw materials such as PVS, ABS, and PETG required for smart card manufacturing. The disease spread has adversely affected the operations in the government and BFSI sectors. However, as the economies are planning to revive their operations, the demand for smart card materials is expected to rise globally in the coming years.
