PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Potential challenges for pre-paid cards over the forecast period
Despite the positive outlook for pre-paid cards over the forecast period, a looming challenge for Octopus is that its dominance in Hong Kong is being increasingly disrupted by super apps that offer services including e-payments, food delivery, messaging and social networking. The Octopus system faces competition from platforms such as Alipay and WeChat Pay, which have gained popularity in Hong Kong and can also be used across borders.
Octopus is poised for continued growth as dominant issuer
The Octopus card has been a cornerstone of Hong Kong’s cashless society for years. Its convenience and wide acceptance have made it an indispensable tool for both residents and tourists.
Closed loop pre-paid cards set to continue losing favour
Demand for and usage of closed loop pre-paid cards will continue to decline in Hong Kong over the forecast period. Unlike open loop pre-paid cards, which are not limited to a specific brand or merchant, closed loop pre-paid cards are hindered by lack of versatility and wider acceptance across various establishments.
