Thailand's Cards and Payments Industry: Emerging Opportunities, Trends, Size, Drivers, Strategies, Products and Competitive Landscape, New Report Launched

The Thai card payments channel grew in value and volume terms during the review period (2009–2013). In terms of the number of cards in circulation, the channel grew from 61.2 million in 2009 to 119.5 million in 2013, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.20%, and is anticipated to further post a CAGR of 7.26% over the forecast period to reach 179.7 million in 2018. In terms of transaction value, the card payments channel grew THB4.1 trillion (US$119 billion) in 2009 to THB7.5 trillion (US$244.5 billion) in 2013, at a review-period CAGR of 16.48%. It is anticipated to post a forecast-period CAGR of 6.70%, to reach to THB11 trillion (US$353.8 billion) in 2018.

Many factors supported the review-period growth such as an increase in per capita income, payment infrastructure modernization, and an influx of foreign banks that have brought technological innovations and branch expansion opportunities with them. As banking customers become more sophisticated, banks are differentiating their product offerings and subsequently card customization for specific customer groups such as high-income individuals, travelers and online shoppers is gaining prominence. Banks are also using online, mobile and social media to promote products and services, and increase customer engagement.

Growing demand from consumers for prepaid cards has forced banks and issuing companies to introduce numerous variants of prepaid cards to meet specific needs. Krungthai Bank offers the KTB e-Money Card, while Bank of Ayudhya and Bangkok Bank offer the Krungsri Gift Card and Shell Prepaid Card respectively. Cards for other specific purposes such as public transport fares, online shopping and entertainment are slowly gaining importance.

Growth in the number of middle-class families and young population, the greater need for credit, changes in consumer spending habits and the easy approval of credit cards fueled demand. Banks are issuing customized credit cards targeted at diverse customer segments such as the young population, high-income customers and travelers. Co-branded credit cards are slowly gaining popularity in Thailand, and most are offered in association with retailers, oil companies and automobile manufacturers. Siam Commercial Bank (SCB), for example, offers the SCB Toyota Card in association with Toyota.

The value of e-commerce increased from THB61.2 billion (US$1.8 billion) in 2009 to THB156.4 billion (US$5.1 billion) in 2013, at a review-period CAGR of 26.44%. E-commerce is expected to reach THB446.9 billion (US$14.4 billion) in 2018, at a forecast-period CAGR of 22.36%.

Outbound tourist spending increased at a review-period CAGR of 5.80% and is expected to rise over the forecast period at a CAGR of 6.46% to reach THB218.5 billion (US$7 billion) in 2018. Strong economic growth and an increase in disposable incomes are likely to spur outbound spending. Banks are also offering reward points, discounts and free insurance cover. Positive growth prospects for the e-commerce and travel industries are expected to encourage growth. Banks are also encouraging customers to use payment cards by awarding cashback offers, discounts, reward points and purchase insurance.

Key Highlights

• In 2011, Tunisia underwent political upheaval, resulting in the eviction of President Ben Ali and the election of the Constituent Assembly. This impacted the country’s economic growth in 2011 and resulted in a decline in FDI inflows in real estate. To promote growth in the economy, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved a loan of US$1.7 billion to support economic reforms in 2013. The contribution of the construction industry to GDP stood at 3.8% in 2013 and the value added to the industry in nominal terms, increased from TND2.7 billion (US$1.9 billion) in 2011 to TND2.9 billion (US$1.8 billion) in 2013. Forecast-period growth will be supported by the investments in tourism and social housing projects, and government efforts to revive the economy.
• Economic and political instability in 2011, resulted in economic contraction, from 2.9% in 2010 to 1.9% of the GDP in 2011. The economy rebounded in 2012 and registered an economic growth of 3.6% in 2012 and 2.6% in 2013. Realizing that unemployment had partly initiated the 2011 uprising in the country, the government started a public recruitment process to address this problem and lower unemployment from 16.7% in 2012 to 15.3% in 2013. Unemployment will continue to be a main government focus to achieve economic stability. Office space will be required to accommodate the increasing number of personnel and support the forecast-period growth of the office buildings category.
• Tunisia is rich source of phosphates and is one of the leading phosphate producers in the world. Due to social and political unrest, and labor strikes in 2011, production declined from 8MT (million tons) in 2010 to 2.6MT in 2012. However, according to National Institute of Statistics – Tunisia (INS), the production index of the mining industry increased from 44.9 in 2012 to 50.5 in 2013. The Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy aims to increase the phosphate production from lower than 3MT in 2013 to 8MT in 2016 and 12MT by 2020. The Ministry also plans to invest TND4.1 billion (US$2.5 billion) in phosphate mines, in Midwest Tunisia.
• Tunisia played a key role in the initial stages of the Mediterranean Solar Plan, which was unveiled in 2008 – a European Union (EU) scheme that aims to generate 20GW of solar energy and other renewable energy resources by 2020 around the Mediterranean Sea. The project worth TND68.6 billion (US$55.7 billion), will export its output to Europe. Due to the country’s strategic location, Tunisia is also a part of the DESERTEC foundation’s super grid project called TuNur, which aims to connect the European and African countries and distribute power to these countries from the country’s rich solar energy resources. The project will invest TND756.2 billion (US$560 billion) by 2050 and includes the construction of solar plants and transmission lines to meet the energy demands of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and Europe. Due to these investments, the energy and communication infrastructure category is likely to grow over the forecast period.
• In 2013, a deal was signed between employer’s union UTICA, the German Chamber of Commerce, a German-African business association Afrika Verein and the Tunisian Foreign Investment Promotion Agency (FIPA), in order to encourage investment activities in Tunisia and develop bilateral business partnership. The German government agreed to utilize Tunisian debt of TND120 million (US$75 million), as an investment in Tunisian infrastructure. Of this, TND20 million (US$12.3 million) will be invested in sewage infrastructure, TND60 million (US$37 million) in water and industrial waste management projects, whereas TND40 million (US$24.7 million) will be invested in water infrastructure in rural areas.

Key Highlights

• The Malaysian construction industry peaked at an annual rate of 26.0% (in nominal terms) in 2012, after rebounding from the downturn in 2008 and registering respective growth rates of 2.9%, 1.3% and 5.7% in 2009, 2010 and 2011. The industry again entered decline in 2013, after recovering from the financial crisis, and posted a growth rate of 12.3%. However, the industry will recover due to affordable housing construction and planned infrastructural investments. Over the forecast period, residential construction activities are expected to improve relatively faster than non-residential activities. Public sector investments in energy, residential and transport infrastructure are expected to be the key drivers for industry growth over the forecast period.
• According to the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB Malaysia), the industry − driven by government and private sector investments in low cost housing and infrastructure projects, particularly the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) − posted rapid growth during 2011–2012. During 2011−2013, the country secured a total of 195 projects worth MYR220.0 billion (US$70.0 billion) and is expected to secure projects worth MYR115.0 billion (US$36.6 billion) in 2014. In the first-three quarters of 2013, construction work for 4,253 projects worth MYR66.8 billion (US$21.3 billion) began, of which 76.0% involve private sector participation. According to CIDB Malaysia, private sector participation in projects will increase from 30.0% in 2013 to 50.0%, by the end of 2015. The current trend will therefore, support the growth of the Malaysian construction industry over the forecast period.
• Within the Malaysian residential construction market there was a strong demand for housing during the review period. According to The Global Property Guide Malaysia, the number of housing units sold was 18.7% in the third-quarter of 2013 as compared to 15.3% in the previous quarter and 12.5% in the third-quarter of 2012. Growth in the residential market was largely influenced by the increase in the number of housing units sold in line with the government efforts to help low- and middle-income earners.
• In October 2013, the Malaysian government announced its 2014 budget. The most money − MYR54.6 billion (US$17.4 billion) or 21.0% of the total budget − was allocated towards education.
