Global Digital Gift Card Market is valued at approximately USD 299.16 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 15.8 % over the forecast period 2022-2029. The Digital Gift Card has no physical form; instead, these cards are assigned a unique gift code number that one can use to redeem at online retailers when making online purchases. In a Digital gifting card, the giver purchases the card online and prepaid it with money. Furthermore, the recipient then receives the e-gift card via email and claims and activates the card. The increasing adoption of advanced technologies in the payment sector and rising penetration of digital payments worldwide as well as increasing smartphone subscriptions are key factors driving the market growth.

The growing popularity of digital payment processing is contributing towards the growth of the Global Digital Gift Card market. For instance – as per World Bank estimates – as of 2022, Globally around two-thirds of adults make or receive payment through digital channels. In addition, as per the Press Information Bureau (PIB), the Government of India estimates – In India, during FY 2020-21 around 5554 million digital transactions were recorded, and this number further increased to 8,840 million in FY 2021-22. Moreover, in August 2022 alone, around 6.58 billion financial transactions were carried out digitally through UPI (Unified Payment Interface). Also, the growing popularity of corporate gifting cultures as well as the surge in the internet-literate population would create a lucrative growth prospectus for the market over the forecast period. However, concern over data privacy hinders the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
