As per the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “India Prepaid Cards Market Report by Card Type (Closed Loop Cards, Open Loop Cards), Purpose (Payroll/Incentive Cards, Travel Cards, General Purpose Reloadable (GPR) Cards, Remittance Cards, and Others), Vertical (Corporate/Organization, Retail, Government, and Others), and Region 2024-2032,” the India prepaid cards market reached a value of US$ 161.8 Billion in 2023. A prepaid card is a payment card with previously deposited funds that can be used as an alternative to cash payment. These cards do not require any bank account linked to them as they can be used by anyone, irrespective of their credit rating, income, or status, making card-based purchases easier without the inconvenience of dealing with a financial institution. They also offer other advantages, such as security, versatility, theft protection, and the ability to perform online transactions and direct deposits. Owing to such benefits, prepaid cards have rapidly gained traction in India.
India Prepaid Cards Market Trends:
The emerging e-commerce industry is one of the primary factors driving the market growth across the country. At present, more people are paying through prepaid cards as they are a convenient mode of payment and require very little time or cost to acquire. In addition, the increasing penetration of smartphones and the internet has increased the number of online payments using prepaid cards. Besides this, the market is also driven by demonetization and the government’s encouragement toward a cashless economy. Moreover, the increasing number of organized retailers is also creating a positive market outlook across the country. Furthermore, prepaid cards are also being used in restaurants, stores, vending machines, buses and other forms of public transport. On account of these factors, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach US$ 2,017.6 Billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 31.4% during the forecast period (2024-2032).
