Spanish Loyalty Market To Reach US$1.72 Billion In 2026, Driven By Digital Payments, Personalized Savings And Travel Rewards


(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Opportunities span savings- and subscription-led grocery programs, payment-linked rewards, mobility and EV ecosystems, expanded travel partnerships, and app-based omnichannel personalization supported by consent-led data use.

Dublin, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Spain Loyalty Market Size & Forecast by Spend Value Across 100+ KPIs by Program Type, Channel Mix, Sector, Embedded Loyalty Penetration, and Platform Spend Segmentation - Databook Q2 2026 Update" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Spain's loyalty market is forecast to grow by 17.2% annually to reach US$1.72 billion in 2026. Following a compound annual growth rate of 19.2% between 2021 and 2025, the market is expected to maintain strong momentum, expanding at a CAGR of 14.6% from 2026 to 2030. Its value is projected to rise from US$1.47 billion in 2025 to approximately US$2.98 billion by 2030.

Growth across the Spain loyalty market is being supported by changing consumer expectations, greater use of mobile payments, rising e-commerce activity and increased demand for measurable savings. Grocery retailers, mobility providers, airlines, airport operators and financial services companies are integrating loyalty more closely with payments, applications and everyday customer journeys.

Grocery Loyalty Focuses on Savings and Retention

Spanish grocery loyalty programs are shifting from passive points collection toward personalized discounts, subscription benefits and app-based savings. DIA has positioned Club Dia as a central component of its omnichannel strategy, serving 5.6 million users. The retailer reported that baskets from loyalty customers were twice the size of those from non-loyalty customers during the first half of 2025.

DIA also reported that loyalty sales represented 56% of gross sales in fiscal 2025 and has established a 2025-2029 target to add more than one million loyal customers. These developments demonstrate how loyalty is becoming increasingly connected to store economics, private-label adoption, promotional targeting and digital engagement. Investment is expected to favor programs that can deliver higher spending, stronger purchase frequency and improved customer retention.

Payments, Digital Wallets and Mobility Reshape Loyalty

Payment-linked loyalty is expanding rapidly as consumers adopt mobile wallets and digital transaction tools. Repsol's Waylet illustrates this shift, combining loyalty, payments, fuel purchases, electric vehicle charging and partner services. Repsol reported 10.8 million digital customers in 2025, most of whom used Waylet.

Banco de Espana reported that mobile-device usage at the point of sale had doubled since 2022. Spanish consumers also made almost three times as many online payments in 2024 as in 2019. These trends are creating more opportunities to connect rewards with payment credentials, recurring purchases, QR transactions, charging services and app-based customer accounts.

Travel Loyalty Expands Across the Customer Journey

Spain's strong travel activity is increasing the commercial importance of airline and airport loyalty programs. Aena's network served more than 384.8 million passengers in 2025, representing annual growth of 4.2%. Its strategic priorities include expanding digital services and strengthening loyalty engagement across airport parking, retail, dining, lounges and other commercial services.

Iberia is also developing Iberia Club through broader Avios redemption choices, additional non-air partners, more accessible membership tiers and spend-based recognition. Travel loyalty in Spain is expected to expand further into co-branded financial products, hotels, mobility, ancillary services and airport experiences.

E-Commerce Accelerates Omnichannel Personalization

Spain's e-commerce turnover reached EUR 25.75 billion in the first quarter of 2025, increasing 18.2% year over year, according to CNMC. More than 474 million e-commerce transactions were completed during the quarter, an annual increase of 14.9%.

Higher digital shopping frequency is encouraging retailers and service providers to invest in mobile coupons, digital receipts, payment-linked rewards and coordinated online and in-store experiences. Consent-led personalization will remain essential as operators balance commercial objectives with consumer privacy expectations and European Union data requirements.

Competitive Landscape

Competition in the Spain loyalty program market is expected to intensify over the next two to four years. Major participants include Club Dia, Club Carrefour, El Corte Ingles, Lidl Plus, Repsol Waylet, Iberia Club, Aena Club and card-linked providers such as Iberia Cards.

Recent developments emphasize partnerships and ecosystem expansion rather than major consolidation. In January 2026, Club Carrefour and GLS Spain announced an agreement providing delivery-related benefits through ChequeAhorro and adding more than 100 GLS collection points in Spain. Repsol continues to expand Waylet within its mobility strategy, while Iberia and Aena are broadening loyalty across travel-related services.

The most competitive programs will combine immediate savings, convenient payments, active mobile engagement and relevant partner benefits. Programs unable to demonstrate incremental spending, repeat purchases or meaningful customer value are likely to be simplified or repositioned.
