MARKET
POTENTIAL
The Department of Defense has now issued 1.8 million Smart Cards and
continues to issue up to 12,000 per day in more than 15 countries.
Healthcare alone estimates that up to $70 billion of the $1.4 trillion
healthcare costs for Americans is due to fraud. Dr. John Butterworth,
president of Security Sciences, Inc., predicts that medical industry
companies will use Smart Cards to thwart fraud. The gaming/casino
industry is also turning to Smart Cards to more easily deposit, payout,
debit, rate, and reduce theft. Other opportunities and growth prospects
for smart cards are staggering. In the U.S. alone, there are more than 7
million vending machines with $37 billion in annual sales. Conversion of
just 10% of these to smart card applications indicates a $400 million
market. Laundry machines, newspaper boxes, copiers, parking, and transit
offer other potentially lucrative opportunities.
