Market Synopsis

Global Credit Card Payment Market is valued at USD 477.5 Billion in 2021 and is projected to reach a value of USD 732.8 Billion by 2028 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.10% over the forecast period.

Credit Card Payment is a method of paying for goods and services using a plastic card instead of cash or checks. A credit card allows customers to pay for purchases without having to immediately provide their bank account details. This type of payment is popular among consumers who want to avoid the hassle of carrying large sums of money and waiting for days before receiving their funds.

The global market for Credit Card Payment systems has been witnessing significant growth over the past few years owing to increasing adoption of online transactions across various industries. This trend is expected to continue over the forecast period due to rising demand from e-commerce companies and other businesses that are adopting this mode of payment to increase their customer base. According to a Mastercard research report issued in 2020, 42% of Indians significantly improved their use of digital payment methods, which primarily comprise cashless and contactless credit cards, internet payments, and others, propelling the markets growth. Furthermore, in order to increase their market share in developing countries, many firms are giving valuable points, incentives, and cashbacks to their clients, which is propelling the expansion of the Credit Card Payments market. However, high cost associated with these solutions and lack of awareness among consumers regarding the benefits of using credit cards are some of the factors restraining the growth of the market over the forecast period.

The general- purpose credit card is dominating the Credit Card Payment Market during the forecast period

General purpose credit cards are projected to maintain their dominance in the next years, since they offer a variety of exclusive incentives and perks, prompting many credit card users to switch to premium cards. The general-purpose cards can be used as debit cards in stores and for online payment deposits.

However, due to larger credit or spending restrictions granted by banks for these credit cards than for others, the specialty & other credit cards segment is predicted to increase the most.
