Dublin, Nov. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2kmxmn/powered_smart)
has announced the addition of the "Powered
Smart Card Markets 2012" report to their offering.
This report, which quantifies the markets for powered smart cards
and their major components. Specifically, the objective of this
report is to quantify the markets for powered smart cards by
application and by region, and to quantity the market for two key
components of powered smart cards - batteries and displays - over
the next eight years, in both volume/quantity and revenue
terms.
We examine the latest component technologies, strategies, and
technical developments of the industry. NanoMarkets has provided
coverage of powered smart cards now for several years as part of
its analysis of the markets for low-cost displays and printed
batteries, and in this report we share the insights that we have
garnered into the market opportunities that will emerge and grow in
the powered smart card market.
The powered smart card end-use markets covered by this report
include: one-time password (OTP) cards, gift and customer loyalty
cards, and identification (ID) or medical information cards. We
also assess the differences in the potentials for powered smart
cards in these applications by region, namely in Europe,
Asia-Pacific, and the Americas.
Batteries for powered
smart cards are broken out into two general categories: printed
batteries, which dominate the market for onboard power today, and
thin-film batteries, which have the potential to be adopted more
widely in the coming years. Display technologies used in powered
smart card applications include liquid crystal displays (LCDs),
light-emitting diode (LED) displays, electrophoretic displays
(EPDs), and electrochromic displays.
