BOSTON (PRWEB) September 07, 2021 - Mercator Advisory Groups most recent report, International Prepaid Market Developments and Growth Trends, reveals some of the most important trends within the global prepaid market.

The international prepaid market is booming, but it is not expanding at the same rate everywhere. In emerging markets in Latin America and Asia, where consumers have more limited access to other forms of cashless payments, prepaid cards serve an important role in daily life. As e-commerce and demand for non-cash payment types rises in these regions, prepaid cards are experiencing profound growth.

On the other hand, in regions where prepaid markets are well establishednamely Europe and North Americalegislators are cracking down on fraud associated with prepaid cards. New regulations may threaten the growth of prepaid card markets in these regions.

Across all regions, prepaid card markets have found new use cases in recent times and there is a great deal more growth to be had within the market.

The prepaid market is witnessing sustained and significant growth throughout the world, with an average estimated CAGR of 13% through the year 2023. As e-commerce spreads globally and demand grows for cashless payment methods, prepaid cards stand to benefit. Government initiatives in support of transitions to cashless payments are numerous, states Laura Handly, analyst at Mercator Advisory Group, and the author of the report.
