The adoption of loyalty and reward programs has increased in the United Kingdom over the last few years. Amid the rising inflation and interest rate environment, many shoppers have turned to loyalty programs as they look for deals and discounts. This trend is projected to continue further in 2024, subsequently driving the adoption of loyalty programs over the medium term.
With the rising demand, new firms and retailers are also planning to launch loyalty and reward programs in the United Kingdom. This, in turn, is expected to aid the competitive landscape and innovation in the loyalty programs market. Overall, PayNXT360 maintains a robust growth outlook for the loyalty and reward programs industry in the United Kingdom over the next three to four years.
Brits are reliant on loyalty and reward programs to lessen the impact of economic pressure on their spending power
Despite inflationary pressure, spending has remained reliant across the United Kingdom, as majority of the consumers are leveraging loyalty programs to save money and boost their spending power during the year-end holiday season.
• According to a YouGov survey, commissioned by Commerce tools, 66% of the consumers were planning to utilize loyalty programs to save on their purchases in the United Kingdom. The trend is much higher among millennial consumers, whereas consumers aged 55 and above were least likely to use their reward accounts for purchases.
In response to the growing demand for loyalty programs, especially among young generation shoppers, many businesses are expected to increase their investment in loyalty programs to offer personalized offers. This will aid innovation and industry growth over the medium term in the United Kingdom.
New loyalty program launches to support industry growth over the medium term in the United Kingdom
Amid higher adoption and the fact that more and more consumers are seeking to leverage loyalty programs to lessen the impact of worsening economic conditions, the number of new program launches has been rising.
• JD Sports, the sports retailer, announced the launch of a loyalty app in the United Kingdom in October 2023. The program aims to deliver rewards to shoppers on purchases made across all of its stores in England, Wales, and Scotland. After the nationwide rollout in October 2023, the retailer is now planning to launch the loyalty program in more European nations in 2024.
In the United Kingdom, the trend of new loyalty program launches is projected to continue in 2024. Domino's, for instance, is planning to launch a loyalty scheme in the United Kingdom in 2024. In the United States, Domino’s has been able to increase the purchase frequency by 1.7 times in the first year of the launch. The QSR aims to replicate the success in the United Kingdom too. These new loyalty scheme launches will further support the growth of the industry over the short to medium-term perspective.
Regulators have launched an investigation to review loyalty scheme prices offered by supermarket
Loyalty program offerings have proved highly successful for supermarkets in the United Kingdom. By offering products at a much cheaper rate to their members, supermarkets like Tesco have reported strong growth in sales volume. Nearly, 21 million households have a Tesco Clubcard in the United Kingdom. For Tesco, these 21 million households are responsible for 80% of the sales. This shows the growing prominence of loyalty programs in the United Kingdom.
In the grocery industry, Tesco holds a significant 27.4% of the market share. More than 8,000 products are offered under its Clubcard Prices scheme. Sainsbury’s, on the other hand, offers 6,000 products under its loyalty scheme. The firm, second to Tesco, holds a market share of 15.2% in the grocery market. Although these supermarkets have been able to achieve higher sales and attract more shoppers, the offerings at reduced prices have also prompted the antitrust regulator to launch an investigation.
The Competition and Market Authority said that the growing usage of loyalty schemes meant that discounts were available only to members. The review, set to begin in January 2024, will consider whether it is fair to offer cheaper product prices only to loyalty card holders or not.
