The forecast data indicates a declining trend in the number of cards with a cash function per inhabitant in France, moving from 1.08 in 2024 to 1.00 in 2028. This represents a year-on-year contraction in card usage, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) showing a decrease over this period. By 2023, this figure would have been at an equivalent or higher level than 1.08, as forecasts all move downward from 2024 onwards.
Future trends to watch for include technological advances in payment systems, shifts towards digital and mobile payments, and regulatory changes that may further impact the use of cash-function cards. Monitoring consumer preferences and economic conditions will be crucial in understanding these trend dynamics.
