Development trend of smart chip card industry

Chip card is similar to microcomputer and can have multiple functions at the same time. Chip cards have been developed and applied on a large scale in many fields, such as finance, communication, social security, security certificates, transportation, education, health care, e-government and so on. The following is the analysis of the development trend of chip card industry.

China's chip card industry is highly dependent on foreign countries. Chip card is the core and most important part of the information industry. Chip card generally refers to the carrier of integrated circuit, which is also the result of integrated circuit design, manufacturing, packaging and testing. The industry usually refers to "integrated circuit" by "chip card". Chip card is known as the "cornerstone" of the information age. It is one of the important symbols to measure a country's high-end manufacturing capacity and comprehensive national strength. Due to the rapid development of information industry, China has a great demand for chip cards. Since 2013, China's annual import of chip cards has reached more than US $200 billion (about more than 130 billion yuan). In 2017, it reached more than $250 billion. In 2017, the annual sales of China's domestic chip card industry exceeded 500 billion yuan. In addition to direct sales, a large number of chip cards are used to assemble and process into various types of electronic products and enter the market indirectly.

Development trend of chip card industry I. personalized demand and instant demand for card issuance will continue to drive the development of personalized equipment.

With the continuous expansion of the application field of smart card, the personalized demand of smart card will also continue to grow. Therefore, in the future, the personalized equipment in smart card equipment is expected to further increase, and the software technology, electronic technology and hardware technology related to personalization will also further develop accordingly.

In addition, with the continuous development of society, smart card users' requirements for the timeliness of card issuance services will continue to improve. Therefore, in addition to their needs for large-scale batch card printing and issuance, banks and other card issuers also need to meet users' needs for timeliness, convenience and personalization. Instant card issuance will be an important supplement and development trend of banks' traditional centralized card issuance channels, The card issuing location will be extended to Bank branch outlets, retail stores, universities and other public service places. Personalized card issuing equipment will be distributed to all card issuing points to meet the requirements of users for quickness and convenience. Instant card issuance is applicable to the production of multi card, small batch and personalized cards. At the same time, it can also meet the needs of bank card replacement and emergency card replacement with the same number. The demand for instant card issuance will lead to the growth of the demand for desktop personalized devices with new compact structure design.

Development trend of chip card industry II. Localization of equipment products and technologies.

According to the current situation, prospect, development trend analysis and investment prospect prediction report of China's chip card industry from 2018 to 2023, with the deepening of China's informatization process, IC card products are increasingly widely used in various industries, and China's IC card industry and related supporting industries have also entered a stage of rapid development. The ability of chip manufacturing, packaging and application of embedded cards has been greatly improved, which can meet the basic needs of domestic chip manufacturing, packaging and application of IC cards, and can gradually meet the basic requirements of IC card manufacturing, packaging and application, The overall competitiveness of IC card industry continues to improve.

Taking financial IC card as an example, in the future, the promotion of financial IC card will provide 400 billion yuan of market capacity for the whole financial IC card industry chain, including platform construction, technology upgrading and background processing. It can be expected that there will be a blowout in the number of financial IC cards, which is a great opportunity for domestic chip manufacturers who have been deeply engaged in this field for many years. Although the financial IC card chips purchased by domestic banks are basically imported, based on financial security and the high cost of using imported financial IC card chips, the central bank made it clear that the bank IC cards issued in China will adopt the chips of domestic manufacturers in the future. At present, many domestic chip manufacturers have actively laid out relevant product lines.

Development trend of chip card industry III. automation and intelligence of equipment products and technology.

The traditional smart card production industry needs a large number of front-line production workers, which is a labor-intensive industry. Its production and manufacturing mode requires a lot of human resources, high production cost and difficult personnel management. In recent years, with the decline of China's labor supply, many factories have experienced "recruitment difficulties". Many regions have successively launched "machine replacement" schemes, which are funded by the government to support local factories to upgrade their production lines and introduce robots into factories, so as to help enterprises greatly reduce labor costs while improving product quality and production efficiency. Wenlin's new generation of automatic lamination, with high production capacity, time and labor saving, is favored by customers. In the future, intelligent equipment represented by intelligent robot and intelligent production line supported by MES and other technologies will be an important trend in the field of equipment products and industrial control technology.

To sum up, the chip card industry continues to develop with the development and changes of the smart card industry, and drives the expansion of the market demand of the smart card equipment industry. In the future, the chip card will be produced with the development of semiconductor technology and large-scale integrated circuit chips, and will also grow rapidly with the rapid development of computer technology and network technology, It has become the inevitable demand of social development.
