Why Is the Market Expanding? Key Drivers
1. Growing Demand for Graded Cards & Collectibles
Collectors increasingly treat cards as investment or collectible assets, especially graded (e.g., PSA / BGS) cards.
This drives demand for secure, high-capacity display solutions.
2. Revival of Real-World Card Shops
Despite digital gaming trends, physical card shops are experiencing a resurgence as hubs for community, collecting, and in-person browsing.
Investments in shop fixtures and optimised layouts are rising.
3. Global Expansion Including Asia-Pacific
