PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Open loop pre-paid cards offer attractive opportunities
Due to their greater versatility of usage, open loop pre-paid cards are set to outperform closed loop pre-paid cards in the forecast period. General purpose reloadable cards and travel cards will remain at the forefront in terms of driving the growth of open loop pre-paid cards as they offer enhanced fraud protection and better cost efficiency.
Slowdown in demand for gift cards and greater adoption of digital payment methods to create a challenge for pre-paid cards
Gift cards, which witnessed unprecedented growth during the pandemic years driven by digital gifting and growing e-commerce adoption, are now witnessing a slowdown in demand as consumers switch back to immediate and tangible items for gifting purposes. In addition, the shift from record highs to the subsequent normalisation in the corporate adoption of gift cards is also set to impact uptake in the years ahead, leading to a slowdown in value transactions through such cards in India.
Closed loop pre-paid cards growth to remain dependent on demand for public transportation
Public transportation will remain the key mode of transportation in India over the forecast period, primarily due to its widespread network across both urban and rural areas of the country and the fact that it is economically more accessible for lower income groups. As a result, pre-paid cards targeted towards public transportation will hold the key to bolstering consumer demand for closed loop pre-paid cards in the coming years.
