  • The plastic card industry has come a long way since its inception in the 1950s. The first plastic card was a Diners Club card, which was introduced in 1950 and was made of cardboard. In 1959, American Express introduced the first plastic card, which was made of PVC. The first credit card with a magnetic stripe was introduced in the 1960s, and in the 1970s, the first debit card was introduced. The 1980s saw the introduction of smart cards, which had a microprocessor chip embedded in them. In recent years, the industry has seen the introduction of contactless cards, which use radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to enable payments without the need for physical contact between the card and the payment terminal. In the United States, the plastic card industry has seen significant growth in recent years. According to a report by the Nilson Report, the total number of credit, debit, and prepaid cards in circulation in the United States reached 6.96 billion in 2019, up from 6.48 billion in 2015. The report also found that the total purchase volume of these cards reached $7.11 trillion in 2019, up from $5.65 trillion in 2015. The growth of e-commerce and the increasing popularity of contactless payments have been major drivers of growth in the industry. In addition, the industry has seen the introduction of new types of cards, such as virtual cards and mobile wallets, which have further expanded the market.
