The credit card issuance services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $717.7 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The anticipated increase in the forecast period can be linked to the adoption of contactless payments, concerns about data security, the emergence of cryptocurrencies, the ascent of embedded finance, and the trends of customization and personalization. Notable trends expected during this period encompass biometric authentication, integration with financial wellness services, real-time payment processing, security applications of blockchain, as well as the utilization of artificial intelligence and predictive analytics.
The anticipated growth in the credit card issuance services market is expected to be driven by an increasing demand for credit cards. Credit cards, offered by banks as credit products, enable users to access loans up to a pre-approved credit limit. Credit card issuers play a crucial role in processing card transactions, managing repayments for approved purchases, and handling chargeback requests. For example, in February 2023, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported that credit card balances in the USA rose by $61 billion to reach $986 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022, surpassing the pre-pandemic peak of $927 billion. Consequently, the upsurge in credit card demand is a key factor propelling the growth of the credit card issuance services market.
The expansion of e-commerce is poised to contribute to the growth of the credit card issuance services market in the foreseeable future. E-commerce, denoting electronic commerce, involves the online exchange of products and services. Credit cards enhance the convenience, security, and flexibility of e-commerce transactions, aligning with the increasing trend and popularity of online shopping. As of November 2023, according to the United States Census Bureau, e-commerce sales are projected to increase by 7.6 percent (1.2%) compared to the same period in 2022, with total retail sales increasing by 2.3 percent (0.4%). E-commerce sales are expected to constitute 15.6 percent of overall revenues in the third quarter of 2023. Hence, the surge in e-commerce growth remains a driving force behind the credit card issuance services market.
Technological advancements have become a prominent trend in the credit card issuance service market. Leading companies in the credit card issuance service market are actively developing new technologies to maintain their competitive positions. For example, in February 2021, Marqeta Inc., a US-based modern card issuing platform, introduced an API-driven credit card issuing platform. This platform empowers innovators to launch next-generation credit card programs swiftly, allowing customers to customize credit card features efficiently. The system provides companies with a modern credit record system that can dynamically adjust account settings such as rewards, APR (annual percentage rate), and credit lines in real-time. The collaboration between Marqeta’s card-issuing platform and Deserve Inc.'s digital card expertise is expected to drive further innovation in the credit sector, enhancing consumer card experiences. Deserve Inc. is a US-based mobile-first credit card platform.
