Sweden’s GDP expanded by 4.3% in Q3’20 after a slump in Q2’20 due to coronavirus outbreak. However, for full year 2020, the economy is expected to shrink impacting consumer confidence.

Though growth of gift card market has been impacted in 2020 due to the COVID crisis, the market is set to grow as retail and corporate customer increase spending on gift cards over the forecast period.

Due to COVID-19, there has been shift in demand from brick and mortar retail to e-commerce. The growth in e-commerce will be owing to digitally savvy shoppers which will have a positive impact on the gift card industry in the coming years. Moreover, in October 2020, Amazon extended its presence in Sweden with its new e-commerce site Amazon.se, which could further enhance the e-commerce market in the country.

The growing demand from the millennials and Gen Z population for online gifting options such as e-gift cards is changing the entire dynamics of the gifting industry. People are moving away from the traditional gifting options such as greeting cards or edibles to digital gift cards. Maintaining long term relationships especially with millennials and Gen Z consumers is becoming a rising concern for retailers. As a result, gift cards are becoming core to retailer’s strategy to gain market share.

Retailers are focusing on offering reloadable gift cards and loyalty card programs to engage consumers by giving them periodical credits, adding bonus points, and insisting on reloading. This strategy could help retailers in gaining profits. Another emerging trend that will boost the growth momentum of the gift card market is the ability to buy bitcoins with gift cards in Sweden.
