Global contactless card transaction values will reach $2.5 trillion in 2021, from $1.7 trillion in 2020, with cards retaining the majority share of overall contactless transaction values at 79% in 2021. The pandemic has significantly accelerated an existing contactless card usage trend, and these value increases will be sustained beyond 2021 and into the future. The report identified that market growth has already been catalysed by increased contactless card use in previously underdeveloped markets such as the US and Germany, and that this shift will be permanent.

• In the US, the pandemic has now driven contactless card payments to the forefront in a market where they were burgeoning. Juniper Research anticipates that the US will see transaction value growth of 136% between 2020 and 2021, with major US retailers rolling out contactless acceptance and consumers enjoying the added convenience offered by touch free card payments. Consequently, the US is anticipated to see further growth of almost 300% over the next five years.
• Markets such as Germany have seen an unprecedented shift towards contactless cards in the past 18 months, with 500% growth in transaction values between 2019 and 2021. These transaction value increases fit in with the growing importance of cashless payments as identified by the Deutsche Bundesbank and findings by Visa indicating that German payment preferences are increasingly turning to contactless payments. This shift has severely diminished the role of cash and created significant opportunities for card issuers to gain market share
