In 2023, Sweden led with 336.21 payments per inhabitant via debit cards, followed by Australia and the Netherlands. The trend showed Western countries like the UK and the USA with above 250 transactions, contrasting sharply with nations like Japan, Indonesia, and India, all below 4 transactions per inhabitant. The variation from 2023 to 2024 remained steady, indicating no significant shifts in transaction habits. However, the five-year CAGR underscores gradual digital adoption in developing markets.
Future trends to observe include the digitization of payments in emerging economies, advances in card technology, and the influence of regulatory changes on card usage patterns globally.
