Description

Introduction: The Asia-Pacific smart card markets are developing at a rapid pace. These markets are deploying large-scale smart card projects, most notably in public transport, that may 'spill over' into other vertical markets. This executive report looks at the key smart card applications by vertical market with market sizings by Asia Pacific country. Scope of the Report: * Provides projected smart card shipments in Asia- Pacific to 2005 and estimates the revenues that this shipments will generate for smart card vendors * Identifies the key smart card applications by vertical market with specific examples, drivers and inhibitors * Looks at the smart card value chain and the importance of the cards, the readers, applications and the systems integration Report Highlights: The Asia-Pacific smart card markets are developing at a rapid pace. These markets are deploying large-scale smart card projects, most notably in public transport, that may 'spill over' into other vertical markets. This approach is unique as smart card deployment is not isolated to one or two vertical markets and deployment is therefore organic. Singapore and Hong Kong constitute 'hotspots' for smart card deployment with Japan (Tokyo) following suit. The market in every tier of the value chain is relatively fragmented, especially in the card integration sector. As Hong Kong and Singapore prove, however, the market for new, high-value, multi-application cards relies on partnerships, interoperability, openness and further impetus from the banks. One reason for this organic growth is that Asia-Pacific countries generally have strong government control. Asia-Pacific governments exert influence on key vertical market operations, perhaps to a larger extent than their European or US counterparts by encouraging standardization and co-operation if technology is designed to facilitate and synchronize a citizen's daily life. Key Reasons to Buy this Report: * Provides smart card shipment forecasts for the major Asia-Pacific countries from 2002 to 2005 * Estimates smart card revenues for the major Asia-Pacific countries for the same time period * Provides shipment and revenue estimates for Australia, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan * Covers key vertical market applications including logistics and manufacturing, retail, financial services, government and transport
