The Australia Cards and Payment Industry has grown steadily in the last five years owing to Covid-19 health implementations: Ken Research

The Cards and Payment Market in Australia saw a steady growth in the period of 2017-2021, especially with the onset of Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

Australia Cards and Payment Market Overview: The Australia Cards and Payment Market is currently at the growth stage owing to the increased contactless payments, increasing debit card usage, the emergence of digital wallets as well as the Covid-19 pandemic. The market is highly fragmented with many players in the market. The industry saw a steady growth in the last few years, especially with the pandemic as contactless payments increased and cash payments decreased significantly.

Impact of Covid-19 on Australia Cards and Payment Market: Prior to the pandemic, the consumer and merchant focus for payments was their security, convenience and speed. With the onset of the pandemic, health and safety also became an important consideration. The COVID-19 virus is reported to be able to survive on hard surfaces for a significant period after contact; meaning a potentially elevated risk to using cash, PIN pads and touchscreens at point of sale. As lockdowns and social distancing measures were implemented with the aim of limiting the spread of the virus in Australia, there was an expected decline in in-person payments, a decrease in bricks-and-mortar purchases of non-essential items, as well as an uptick in online and mobile purchases within certain categories.  An increased number of curbside pick-up and tap-to-pay options were introduced, and the use of cards for payment increased, leading to the growth of the Cards and Payment Industry in Australia.

Challenges faced by the Australia Cards and Payment Industry: The industry players extend far beyond the traditional ecosystem of banks, payments networks, standards bodies and merchants. Today, fintechs, technology firms, startups and regulators play increasingly important roles in the payments ecosystem. Traditionally, banks make up nearly one-third of payments revenue and enjoy a healthy growth rate. Each revenue stream is under pressure from outside forces. This disruption is region-specific based on regulations and historical context. The competition within the credit card industry has been heating up too, with Apple's venture into cards one significant example. Incumbent financial institutions are upping the ante with better rewards, more attractive physical cards and a better digital experience for consumers. All big issuers launched or refreshed their credit card products. There is also intense activity in the cobranded cards space, have updated their offerings. As a result, acquiring new business is getting costly or even uneconomical if not structured correctly.
