The Gift Card market in Germany is expected to grow by 10.9% on annual basis to reach US$19.98 billion in 2026. The gift card market in the country has experienced robust growth during 2021-2025, achieving a CAGR of 11.5%. This upward trajectory is expected to continue, with the market forecast to grow at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2026-2030. By the end of 2030, the Gift Card sector is projected to expand from its 2025 value of USD 18.01 billion to approximately USD 29.57 billion.

Distribution consolidation will intensify. More chains will replicate the Thalia/ALDI pattern, making distributors and processors the pivotal gatekeepers. B2B integration will raise switching costs.
