Additionally, as disposable income and overall affluence increase, so does the demand for these cards. Furthermore, as travel becomes easier and more accessible, the interest in travel credit cards is expected to rise. However, some factors can hamper the growth of the travel credit card market. High annual fees and interest rates can deter some consumers from choosing travel credit cards. Additionally, limited acceptance of these cards and partner restrictions may also restrict market growth.

This makes them attractive to consumers who value versatility in their spending options.

As consumers increasingly prefer the convenience of using credit cards for everyday purchases, the transaction segment benefits from enhanced usage and higher adoption rates. This growth is further supported by the integration of advanced payment technologies, such as mobile wallets and contactless payments, which streamline the transaction process and attract more users to credit card offerings.
