PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Pre-paid cards faces both opportunities and threats in the forecast period
There are several positive predictions for pre-paid cards during the forecast period. The expected ongoing return of domestic and international tourists, particularly to the big cities such as Paris, in both leisure and business travel, is a key factor set to drive growth.
Ongoing potential for open loop pre-paid gift cards
Gift cards face favourable prospects throughout the forecast period, though there will be some modifications regarding cards issued by employee-representative committees (ERCs). Following a pivotal advancement in 2021-2022, the local trade association for gift cards has endeavoured to persuade the French government to implement further changes that would raise the ceiling to a minimum of EUR250, and potentially as high as EUR340.
Competitive landscape likely to remain volatile
Pre-paid card competition tends to shift rapidly and the landscape is highly volatile. As such, during the course of the forecast period we anticipate new entrants and continued heightened activity, especially in light of prevailing digitalisation trends.
