Gemalto is active on a market ( smartcards ) whose potential remains seriously undervalued. This sector is growing strongly. It has three cornerstones: mobile telephony (rapid rise in the number of subscribers across the world and new connected devices); secure payment transactions (and progressive introduction of chip-based bank cards), as well as the emergence of a new market linked to security needs in the public and private sectors.
