Covid-19 Scenario
- The pandemic initially caused a decline in gift card sales for businesses that were forced to close their physical locations or limit in-person services, such as restaurants, movie theaters, and gyms. However, as people shifted to online shopping and food delivery services, gift card sales for e-commerce and delivery-based businesses increased.
- Due to the pandemic, consumers shifted toward online shopping, leading to a rise in e-gift cards with physical distancing measures and lockdowns in place. In addition, with the economic impact of the pandemic, consumers became more budget-conscious, leading to an increased demand for gift cards with discounts or cashback offers.
- Overall, while the COVID-19 pandemic presented many challenges for the gift card industry, there are several opportunities for providers to bounce back and thrive in the post-pandemic world. Gift card providers may position themselves for success in the upcoming years by focusing on meeting the changing needs of consumers and businesses.
The closed-loop card segment to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period
Based on card type, the closed-loop card segment attained the highest growth in 2022, accounting for more than two-thirds of the global gift card market revenue, and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to the fact that by offering closed loop gift cards, a company may increase brand recognition and customer loyalty as customers may associate the card with that specific brand. Moreover, closed loop gift cards are a convenient and easy gift option for customers as they may be used at a specific store and do not have to be redeemed for cash. However, the open-loop card segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 20.8% from 2023 to 2032. This is due to the fact that open loop gift cards may be used at many different retailers and online merchants, giving the recipient more choices on where to spend their gift. Moreover, they are easy to purchase and may be delivered electronically, making them a convenient gift option for last-minute or long-distance gifts.
The retail establishment segment to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period
Based on end user, the retail establishment segment is the highest growing segment, accounting for more than two-thirds of the global gift card market revenue, and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to the fact that they may increase sales and revenue by encouraging gift card recipients to visit the store and make purchases. This may lead to new customers and increased brand awareness. Meanwhile, the corporate institutions segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 20.1% from 2023 to 2032. This is attributed to the fact that gift cards may serve as a versatile and cost-effective way to reward and incentivize employees, customers, or partners. Moreover, they may provide valuable insights into consumer behavior and preferences, which may help to form marketing and sales strategies. Overall, gift cards may be a valuable tool for corporate institutions to enhance engagement, retention, and profitability.

North America to maintain its dominance by 2032
Based on region, North America held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2022, accounting for more than two-fifths of the global gift card market revenue. This is attributed to the fact that the convenience of gift cards makes them a popular choice for both gift givers and recipients in the region. They offer flexibility in terms of both purchase and redemption, as they may be used online or in-store. Moreover, the increase in popularity of e-commerce and mobile shopping has resulted in a shift toward digital gift cards, which are expected to see significant growth in the coming years. Overall, these factors are expected to drive continued growth in the gift card market in North America. However, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 20.8% from 2023 to 2032, and is likely to dominate the market during the forecast period. This is because of the growth of e-commerce and mobile payments in the region which has made it easier to purchase and redeem gift cards online. Moreover, the increase in popularity of cashless transactions in the region has also contributed to the growth of the gift card market.
