While near term challenges are expected to persist due to pandemic, medium term growth story of gift card industry in Germany remains intact. Germany is the second largest e-commerce market in Western Europe. The expansion of the e-commerce market is also creating scope for gift cards, especially digital or e-gift gift cards in the country.

Leading e-commerce players, such as Amazon, eBay, and Otto have a strong presence in the gift card market.

Presently, the new gift cards are available at Gamestop and will be available in leading retailers by the year-end. According to the Global Gift Card Q2 2020 Survey, online gaming is expected to record strong growth, as more consumers shift to online gaming due to Covid-19 outbreak. This is expected to drive growth of gift cards, especially digital gift cards (e-gift cards) in Germany.
