Supply chain crisis is expanding the gift card market's growth in Mexico

Retailers and online streaming services are offering gift cards to attract new customers in Mexico
The global pandemic has accelerated the adoption of e-commerce platforms in Mexico over the last four to eight quarters. According to the publisher, the domestic e-commerce market valued more than US$16 billion in 2021. As more and more shoppers continue to buy products and services online, retailers are looking to capitalize on the rising e-commerce trend to offer gift cards and attract new customers in Mexico.
During the global pandemic, online streaming services gained increased traction in the country. Consequently, on-demand entertainment service providers such as Netflix started offering gift cards to attract more customers.
This growing demand for online streaming services is expected to further boost the demand for gift card products among consumers in the country over the next four to eight quarters. the publisher expects that the growing shift towards online services will keep supporting the growth of the gift card segment from the short to medium-term perspective in Mexico.

- In October 2021, Swile, a France-based employee benefits and gift card firm, raised US$200 million in its Series D funding round, which was led by SoftBank Group International. After raising the funding round, Swile announced that the firm is looking to expand its international presence over the next few quarters and is eyeing the Mexican market.
- Notably, some international gift card players already have a presence in the country. For instance, the US-based Tango Card, the digital rewards and incentive provider, offers digital gift cards of several brands, including Uber, Starbucks, Domino's, and Burger King, among others.
The publisher expects more global players to launch their services in the country over the next four to eight quarters, which will subsequently boost innovation and competition in the Mexican gift card industry.
