Key Market Dynamics Reshaping the Turkey Co-Brand & Affinity Landscape

The report identifies four key growth drivers that will define market development:

Airline loyalty programs like Miles&Smiles, supermarket alliances, and fuel partnerships dominate early growth. These verticals drive high-spend categories, while e-commerce and quick-commerce partnerships expand frequency.

Digital Onboarding and QR Expansion

Mobile-first issuance, in-app rewards, and QR-enabled payments are reshaping customer journeys. Seamless onboarding and real-time earn/redemption boost activation and monthly active rates.
