Abstract

Introduction

Payment Cards in Australia is an invaluable guide to one of the most important markets in Asia Pacific. The report provides statistics on market size, competitor market shares and acceptance. It also provides an overview of regulation, competitor activities, product innovation and market forecasts.

Scope
  • Data and analysis on debit cards, credit cards, and charge cards at both the card scheme and issuer level.
  • Analysis of the key competitor product developments and product launches in the market over the past 12 months.
  • Provides a clear overview of the regulatory structure in the market, as well as discussion of the key issues facing players in the space.
  • The credit, debit, and charge card markets are forecast to 2012 under three different macroeconomic scenarios.
Highlights

At the end of 2007 there were 47 million general purpose payment cards in issue in the Australian market. Credit cards are the fastest growing card segment and recorded an average annual growth rate of 7.1% between 2003 and 2007. Debit cards recorded a 3% growth rate for the same period, while the charge card market grew by 3.8%.

In terms of card issuer market share, the Commonwealth Bank is the leading issuer of debit and credit cards when measured by cards in issue. However, Westpac is the leading player in terms of credit card balances outstanding.

The current economic climate will heavily impact the credit card market in Australia. However, under Datamonitor's neutral scenario, the value of credit card transaction values in Australia will reach A$361 billion in 2012. Under a more pessimistic economic view, transaction values will grow to only A$304 billion by the same point.

  • See which competitors lead the way in the market, and the products that have driven their success.
