Singapore’s credit, charge card payment market to grow 6.5% through 2025

The value of debit card payments will grow by 7.2% in 2022.

Singapore’s credit and charge card payment market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.5% between 2021 and 2025 to reach S$80.6b (US$59.8b) in 2025, according to data and analytics company Global Data.

The market is forecasted to grow at 8.8% in 2022, whilst the debit card payment value will grow at 7.2%, on the back of the Lion City’s GDP recovering.

Singapore’s economy registered a 7.2% growth in 2021, reversing its 5.4% contraction in 2020. The value of credit and charge card payments in Singapore registered a decline of 15.3% in 2020.

Singapore’s strong card acceptance network–at almost six point of sale (POS) terminals for every 100 individuals in 2021–also pushes up the use of credit and charge card payments.

Banks’ offering of flexible payment options and installments will further encourage its use, according to GlobalData.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
