Frost & Sullivan has released a new report predicting substantial growth for the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region’s smart card market over the three years, according to squidcard.com.
Frost & Sullivan says MENA’s smart card revenue will reach $328.5 million in 2014, up from $229.3 million in 2009. This constitutes a compound annual growth rate of 10.8%.
F&S also says that MENA’s smart card suppliers are looking at providing products for both the public and private sector, such as in driver’s licenses and mobile phones.
