This study takes an in depth look at the smart cards market in Asia Pacific with regards to the different forms that have been and will potentially be deployed. Common form factors such as the standard plastic card and SIM cards have been widely accepted. Other form factors such as booklets, typically used in e-Passports (passport booklets with Smart Card integrated circuits embedded within) as well as coin-like tokens have been well received in their respective niche markets. This study also highlights several common trends as well as strategic recommendations for up and coming form factors that carry smart card technology.
