PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Consumer awareness of store cards to remain limited to savvy urban residents
A key factor that will likely continue to hinder the development of store cards in Morocco is that few consumers are aware of the existence of store cards in the first place. As Morocco is still heavily reliant on cash with shopping habits firmly associated with traditional retail outlets such as the souks, consumers are not necessarily receptive to marketing materials promoting the use of store cards.
Other card types remain serious competitive threat to category growth
The popularity of store cards could be seen to erode over the forecast period as Moroccan consumers do not necessarily appreciate the advantages associated with this type of cards, or do not believe these benefits are attractive enough to apply for a card. Many local consumers see the accumulation of single-branded cards as a hassle, especially closed-loop cards with limited benefits.
Shrinking purchasing power puts pressure on value growth
As 2023 is proving challenging for the majority of households around the globe, including in Morocco, with soaring energy, fuel and food prices, consumers will strive to keep their outgoings to manageable levels for the foreseeable future, while the share of income consumed by mortgages and rents is likely to put more pressure on purchasing power. These factors imply that consumers will be focusing on daily essentials such as basic food and household items.

DISCLAIMER
Store Card Transactions
A store card (also known as a retailer or private label card) contains a “pay later” component and revolving line of credit similar to credit cards. However, store cards must contain usage limited to specific stores within a predefined retail group unlike retailer co-branded cards. Co-branded credit cards issued by retailers acting as financial institutions and without usage restrictions fall into the credit card category.
