Visa, Mastercard, Amex comparison in Asia

Visa and Mastercard reached their highest transaction values in India, although both card schemes were relatively more used elsewhere in APAC. This is according to estimations calculated by Statista from numbers that first tried to establish the market size of domestic POS and online markets, and that were then used to calculate the market share of specific payment methods and brands. For this statistic, the focus is exclusively on the three major card brands - Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Even if India processed beyond 600 billion U.S. dollars' worth of Visa and Mastercard transactions, this formed about 30 percent of all payments in the country. In Australia and New Zealand, the two brands comprised about 50 percent of all transaction value.

Supplementary notes

The numbers provided have been calculated by Statista using figures from Worldpay's Global Payments Report - editions 2023 and 2024. This source, in turn, largely relied on GlobalData.

The source did not provide figures for other countries in the Middle East and Africa.

The source does not provide information on whether it considered local partnerships between Visa and/or Mastercard with local card schemes. Certain local brands, like Bancomat in Italy or CB in France, make use of international card rails or co-branding. It is unclear whether the figures take such local interdependencies into consideration.
