Belgium Gift Card & Incentive Card Market Analysis
Gift cards, also known as gift certificates, vouchers, or tokens, are often provided by a store or bank. Furthermore, gift cards are a development strategy for marketing enterprises, attracting new clients, increasing brand recognition, reducing fraud, and improving company sales. Furthermore, a gift card can be used as an alternate source of funds at a specific store or company store for purchases of products or services.
The COVID-19 outbreak has altered the Belgian gift card business. The gap between physical gift card penetration and virtual gift card sales is closing. As a result, innovation is increasingly focusing on digital cards, often called e-cards. Store closures in Belgium hindered physical gift card sales during the COVID-19 epidemic. This affects the industry's growth, as physical gift cards account for a sizable portion of the market.
On the other hand, as economic pressure mounts, several company sectors are getting more inventive in their approaches to growing their operations. This will almost certainly include using gift cards as a promotional tool. Gift cards are highly valued by businesses such as restaurants and cafeterias as a lucrative source of instant revenue flow. During the COVID-19 epidemic, the significance of gift cards has fundamentally changed for such industries in Belgium.
In 2020, the entire turnover of the Belgian e-commerce market will have decreased dramatically. Because of the worldwide epidemic, people ordered fewer services but more merchandise online. While people spent more online than before the epidemic, the average order quantity fell.
Despite near-term headwinds in 2022, Belgium's medium to long-term growth narrative for gift cards remains solid. The Belgian gift card business is predicted to develop slowly in H1 2022 and rapidly in H2 2022. The growth pace will likely continue during the projection period, with a considerable CAGR between 2022 and 2027.
