Top 7 Vendors in the Global EMV Cards Market from 2016 to 2020: Technavio


Technavio has announced the top seven leading vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period, in their recent global Europay, MasterCard, and Visa (EMV) cards market 2016-2020 report.

Competitive vendor landscape

According to the report, the EMV cards market is in its growth stage. The market is fragmented with the presence of multiple vendors that have been developing contact cards and contactless cards. A number of companies have a significant presence in the EMV cards market. Some pure-play companies are either being acquired or approached for acquisition by larger corporations for their technological expertise in EMV card technology. This trend will continue throughout the forecast period as large corporations are willing to explore the growth opportunities in the EMV cards market.

Consumers are opting for plastic money for transactions on smartphones and tablets, leading to increased sales for online retailers. EMV cards are being widely used for transactions via all retail stores, restaurants, and travel booking mobile apps due to their safety attributes. "Emerging economies represent potential markets for EMV cards as these regions are seeing a rise in the number of retail chain establishments. The growing e-commerce sales and mobile point-of-sale system shipments are complementing the demand for EMV cards," says Sunil Kumar Singh, a lead embedded systems analyst from Technavio.
