COVID-19's Impact on the UK Payments Sector, 2020 - Pre-Coronavirus & Revised Forecasts for Total Payment Card, Debit Card, and Credit & Charge Card Transactions by Value and Volume
Wednesday, April 15, 2020

DUBLIN, April 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Coronavirus (COVID-19) Sector Impact: Payments Snapshot - The UK" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report focuses on the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak on both the economy and the cards and payments industry in the UK.

Based on proprietary datasets, the snapshot provides a detailed comparison between pre-COVID-19 forecasts and revised forecasts of total payment card, debit card, and credit and charge card transactions by value and volume. It also offers information on measures taken by the government to combat coronavirus.

Fears surrounding the impact of COVID-19 have already significantly hampered the global economy, with key markets across the globe losing 20-50% of their value year-to-date. Many economists and institutions have cut their forecasts, with consensus global GDP growth currently at 2.6% for 2020 and many experts predicting the potential onset of recessionary environments.

A similar trend is expected in the UK as well, as economic growth in the UK is expected to register a dip in the first quarter of 2020 and will decelerate further if this disease is not controlled at the earliest. The decline will have an adverse impact on all sectors including banking and payments.

Report Scope

    --  The UK has recorded total confirmed cases of 29,865, with the death toll
        having risen to 2,357.
    --  The steep dive in consumer spending, particularly in sectors like travel
        and tourism, accommodation, and hospitality, will impact the payment
        industry as well.
    --  The overall decline in payments will partially be offset by a rise in
        online spending, as wary consumers are staying home and using online
        channels to purchase goods.

Reasons to Buy

    --  Make strategic decisions using top-level revised forecast data on the UK
        payment industry.
    --  Understand the key market trends, challenges, and opportunities in the
        UK cards and payments industry.
    --  Receive a comprehensive insight into payments market in the UK.
