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

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
