Some of the key factors driving growth in the Asia Credit Card Market are digitalization, development of infrastructure (Integration with Artificial Intelligent Platforms, POS Terminals, and ATM Terminals), Improved Member Merchants Discounts, Rewards and Loyalty Programs, Increasing Disposable Income and Reducing Interest Rates.
The Asia credit cards market has been observed to be at a late growth stage. The competitive growth in the credit card industry of Asia was majorly driven by deep client partnerships, strong cross-border growth, long-term growth opportunities, and tailored strategies. The digital payments industry in Asia has scaled up rapidly over the last few years which has led to an increase in credit card usage. The growth is majorly driven by usage among youth and the younger population. About 83.0% of millennials aged 25-34 years use credit cards more than any other age group.
Increasing Digital Payments Industry: The rise of affordable smartphones and sub-sequent internet and mobile penetration has led to significant growth in the digital payments space amongst Asian countries. Users have steadily embraced non-cash methods over the years especially the usage of credit cards.
The introduction of various types of credit cards such as reward-based cards for gaining reward points against shopping, traveling and even filling up the fuel in vehicles has also driven the growth of credit cards. Additionally, the design, as well as the appearance of the credit cards, can be customized as per the user’s need. Partnerships with the FinTech will play a crucial role in the development of a digital payments ecosystem by promoting innovation and enabling open-loop payments that promote the adoption of digital payments.
Most of the Asian countries such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and others have just started their cashless journey. The countries are highly dependent on cash with the majority of the transactions being made in cash. Asian countries have eliminated many of the typical macro-economic factors to move forward to being a cashless economy; however, low rates of financial inclusion are having an adverse impact on the growth of cashless payments. The role of specific regulatory bodies such as RBI in India and The Peoples Bank of China in monitoring, regulating and promoting digital payments and credit card usage in Asia will have a great impact on the issuance of the credit cards and the transaction value and volume in present and in the future as well. The use of traditional cashless methods such as cheques is on the decline. Cheques are increasingly becoming a US-only phenomenon and will be replaced soon by other payment methods. China, South Korea, and India have recorded a major decrease in cheque usage.
