Global Contactless Smart Cards Market Report 2014-2018
M2 - Wed Apr 30, 5:32AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/x7m82p/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Contactless Smart Cards Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Contactless Smart Card market will grow at a CAGR of 33.5 percent during the period 2013-2018 Smart cards are pocket-sized cards that are generally made of plastic and embedded with integrated circuits. They are mainly used for identification, authentication, data storage, and application processing. Smart cards are mainly of two types: contact-based and contactless. Contactless cards generally use radio-frequency induction technology for data and information transfer. The rate of data transfer can vary between 106 kbits/s to 848 kbits/s. Communication is facilitated by an antenna. These cards use inductors to capture the incident RF interrogation signal, which is rectified and used to power the card's electronics. In other words, signals are sent to the card reader, which then transfers the data and information into the system. Contactless smart cards are more user-friendly than contact-based smart cards. The growth of the Global Contactless Smart Cards market is driven by several factors, of which the growing need for a tamper-free system is one of the major drivers. Generally, cards embedded with magnetic tapes only store information about end-users' accounts. These cards can be easily tampered with, resulting in loss of information or data. However, contactless smart cards store information that can only be accessed with a pin code, which is difficult to decode, thereby protecting end-users' data. Further, the report states that high initial deployment and replacement cost is one of the major challenges faced by the vendors in the market. Regions such as South America and the APAC region have limited vendor penetration and few local players. As a result, the market is controlled by a small group of vendors, leading to low competition.

Global Contactless Smart Cards Market Report 2014-2018
M2 - Wed Apr 30, 5:32AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/x7m82p/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Contactless Smart Cards Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Contactless Smart Card market will grow at a CAGR of 33.5 percent during the period 2013-2018 Smart cards are pocket-sized cards that are generally made of plastic and embedded with integrated circuits. They are mainly used for identification, authentication, data storage, and application processing. Smart cards are mainly of two types: contact-based and contactless. Contactless cards generally use radio-frequency induction technology for data and information transfer. The rate of data transfer can vary between 106 kbits/s to 848 kbits/s. Communication is facilitated by an antenna. These cards use inductors to capture the incident RF interrogation signal, which is rectified and used to power the card's electronics. In other words, signals are sent to the card reader, which then transfers the data and information into the system. Contactless smart cards are more user-friendly than contact-based smart cards. The growth of the Global Contactless Smart Cards market is driven by several factors, of which the growing need for a tamper-free system is one of the major drivers. Generally, cards embedded with magnetic tapes only store information about end-users' accounts. These cards can be easily tampered with, resulting in loss of information or data. However, contactless smart cards store information that can only be accessed with a pin code, which is difficult to decode, thereby protecting end-users' data. Further, the report states that high initial deployment and replacement cost is one of the major challenges faced by the vendors in the market. Regions such as South America and the APAC region have limited vendor penetration and few local players. As a result, the market is controlled by a small group of vendors, leading to low competition.

Global Super Junction MOSFET Market 2014-2018
M2 - Fri Apr 25, 6:15AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jfld56/global_super) has announced the addition of the "Global Super Junction MOSFET Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Super Junction MOSFET market will grow at a CAGR of 11.66 percent over the period 2013-2018. The Global Super Junction MOSFET market growth is driven by several factors, of which an increase in the demand for energy-efficient electronic products is a major driver. Super junction MOSFETs enable increased efficiency in electronic devices ranging from consumer electronics to several high-power electronic applications. Deployments of super junction MOSFETs in electronic devices enhance the switching performance and efficiency while augmenting the system's reliability and robustness, thereby increasing the energy efficiency of electronic products. As a result of rapid technological advancements taking place, the market has witnessed the availability of products that incorporate multiple features on a single platform. Industries such as Computing, Networking and Telecom, and Consumer Electronics that extensively use super junction MOSFETs are currently driving the need for miniaturization of semiconductor devices. These devices use a combination of the power IC and super junction MOSFETs either as a monolithic device or as a system in a package. As many computers, networking, and telecom equipment have board space restrictions, this integration helps reduce board space. Moreover, the deployment of super junction MOSFETs not only enables high-power conversion efficiency but also minimizes switching losses. Currently, electronic devices use semiconductors with circuit line widths in the 20 nm range. However, ultra-miniature circuits with line widths in the 10 nm range are expected to be introduced during the forecast period. Thus, the growing need for miniaturizing semiconductor devices is expected to fuel the demand for super junction MOSFETs. Further, the report states that the low demand for super junction MOSFETs because of the global economic slowdown is one of the key challenges. The demand for super junction MOSFETs is dependent on the growth of various industries such as Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Power and Energy Management, and Others. Over the last few years, the Consumer Electronics industry, in particular, has been experiencing slow growth because of factors such as sluggish recovery in the US, earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan, and the eurozone debt crisis, consequently affecting the demand for super junction MOSFETs.
