The postcard market in Bangladesh is a thriving industry that offers a unique glimpse into the beautiful culture and traditions of the country. Postcards are popular among tourists as souvenirs and serve as a means of communication for locals, especially those living in rural areas with limited access to technology. Postcards were first introduced to Bangladesh during British colonial rule in the late 19th century. They were primarily used for official purposes such as sending government notifications and announcements. However, with the development of postal services, postcards soon became popular for people to stay in touch with their loved ones.
According to 6Wresearch, the Bangladesh Postcard Market size is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 5.8% during 2025-2031. The growth of the Bangladesh Postcard Market indicates promising opportunities ahead. Factors contributing to this growth could include the increasing popularity of postcards as collectibles or souvenirs, the expansion of the tourism industry, and advancements in printing technology making it easier and more affordable to produce high-quality postcards. Additionally, the rise of e-commerce platforms could further stimulate market growth by providing broader access to postcards for both domestic and international consumers. Further, the postcard market in Bangladesh is currently dominated by traditional paper postcards, which are sold at various tourist spots and markets across the country. However, with the advancement of technology, digital postcards are also gaining popularity among younger generations who prefer to send and receive virtual greetings.
Some of the leading players in the Bangladesh postcard industry include local and international companies such as Asiatic Exports Ltd, Bay Leaf Communications, ACI Limited, and Walton. These companies offer a wide range of postcards featuring traditional designs as well as modern and digital options. To attract more customers and stay competitive, postcard companies in Bangladesh continuously innovate and diversify their products.
The Bangladesh government has taken steps to support the growth of the postcard market in the country. In 2011, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications declared postcards as a national heritage product, emphasizing their cultural significance. This declaration not only raised awareness about postcards but also encouraged local businesses to invest in this industry. Additionally, the government has also implemented policies to promote small and medium enterprises in the country, which have positively impacted the postcard market. Furthermore, in recent years, the government has also implemented policies and initiatives to promote the growth of small businesses, including postcard companies. This has provided opportunities for local entrepreneurs to enter the market and contribute to its growth. With increasing support from the government and a growing interest in preserving cultural heritage, the postcard market in Bangladesh is expected to continue thriving in the future.
The future of any market involves a degree of uncertainty, but here are some potential insights into the future of the Bangladesh postcard market: As digital communication continues to evolve, the postcard market may see a shift towards digital postcards or e-cards. These digital alternatives offer convenience and can be easily shared via social media or messaging platforms. However, traditional printed postcards may still retain their appeal as tangible keepsakes and collectibles. With Bangladesh's growing tourism industry, there could be an increased demand for postcards featuring popular tourist destinations, cultural landmarks, and unique experiences. Consumers may increasingly seek personalized and customized postcards, allowing them to add their photos, messages, or designs.
