The European gift card market has seen significant growth over the past few years. However, the gift card market growth in the region in 2020 has been impacted due to the pandemic. COVID-19 has had adverse effect on the social and economic condition in Europe. Real GDP fell by about 40% in Q2'20 (annualized quarter-over-quarter), with greater contraction in advanced Europe, where the virus spread first, as compared to emerging Europe. Moreover, the pandemic is worsening in the region. As per Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the UK is the most affected by the pandemic and by the end of 2021 the UK economy is expected to be 6% smaller than pre- COVID crisis.
