Key Findings * There is a huge demand for smart card across the world, as it's widely used in almost every sector. The main demand driver is the telecom market. * The Latin American and the Asia pacific smart card markets have potential to grow above the existing rate but the high initial cost will be a limiting factor A factor or condition that, either temporarily or permanently, impedes mission accomplishment. Illustrative examples are transportation network deficiencies, lack of in-place facilities, malpositioned forces or materiel, extreme climatic conditions, distance, transit or overflight rights, . * Smooth integration with the existing systems is going to be the key for success in the nascent nascent /nas·cent/ (nas´ent) (na´sent) 1. being born; just coming into existence. 2. just liberated from a chemical combination, and hence more reactive because uncombined. smart card markets. Of the various countries across the world, South Africa is seen as a high opportunity region. * The rapid technological developments in smart cards are going to further strengthen its market. The envisioned multiple uses of a single smart card will enhance its value, thus, further boosting it sales. * The future opportunities are immense particularly in Mobile sector, Banking Sector, and Biometrics The biological identification of a person. Examples are face, iris and retinal patterns, hand geometry and voice. Increasingly built into laptop computers, fingerprint readers have become popular as a secure method for identification. .
