The rising use of digital devices is expected to drive growth in the secure digital card market. Digital devices refer to electronic gadgets capable of receiving, processing, and transmitting digital information, including laptops, smartphones, and tablets. These devices require secure digital cards to enhance their storage capacity and accommodate more digital data, such as photos, videos, music, and documents. As mobile phone usage continues to grow, users increasingly rely on external storage solutions like secure digital cards, resulting in heightened demand for these products. For example, in February 2024, a report from gov.UK, a UK government website, indicated that in 2022, the digital sector contributed £158.3 billion ($205 billion) to the UK economy, accounting for 7.2% of the total UK Gross Value Added (GVA), up from 7.1% in 2021. Thus, the increased use of digital devices is propelling the growth of the secure digital card market.
The increasing adoption of digital payments and financial transactions is expected to drive growth in the secure digital card market. Digital payments and financial transactions involve the electronic transfer of funds and the exchange of financial value through digital channels and technologies. Secure digital cards are utilized to enhance the safety and privacy of these electronic transactions, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive financial information. For example, in May 2024, FedPayments Improvement, a U.S. initiative from the Federal Reserve Banks, reported that in 2023, 62% of businesses adopted digital wallets and mobile apps, a significant rise from 47% in 2022. Therefore, the growing acceptance of digital payment methods is fueling the expansion of the secure digital card market.
