India cards and payments market overview

Debit card dominated the Indian card payments market is terms of number of transactions and value of transactions. Debit card penetration per 100 inhabitants increased from 27 in 2012 to 37 in 2014. The growth of the debit card was fueled by consumer perceptions that they provide control on spending, and is safe to use. Debit cards are used by consumers to shop at retail outlets, withdraw cash from ATMs and make online payments. State Bank of India was the leading bank in terms of the number of debit cards issued in 2014, accounting for around one third of the total number of debit cards issued in India.

Charge cards have a very minor share in the payment cards market. Over the period 2012–14 charge cards recorded a CAGR of 4%. In 2014, there were 0.5 million charge cards in India, with only 0.1% share of the total payment card market.
