Global smart card-based access control market to hit £5.7 billion by 2018

The global market for smart card-based access control solutions is set to reach a staggering $8.6 billion (£5.7 billion) by 2018, a new report by Global Industry Analysts reveals.

The estimated growth for this specific market segment is related to increased security concerns backed by government and regulatory mandates, as well as higher security-dedicated budgets, the report says.

The same paper also informs us that smart card-based access control systems and clocking stations are set to become even more popular than they are today throughout a variety of industries, including government buildings, corporate offices, banks, infrastructure facilities, as well as commercial and residential construction.

Tensor PLC, as a market leader in the smart-card based Access Control and Time and Attendance segment, offers a comprehensive range of products set to meet your every requirement.

Our Smart Cards are thin and flexible enough to be carried in one's wallet (roughly the standard size of a credit card), but they also adhere to the highest security standards, featuring a factory encoded ID code that cannot be duplicated. Plus, each ID number has built-in security and integrity checks ensuring that it cannot be misread.

We also provide a full range of Smart Card scanners, set to meet the customer's specific installation needs.

With Tensor, you can rest assured that your business will be in safe hands, considering our extensive experience in working with institutions imposing very strict security requirements, such as the West Midlands Police.
