    Quick Summary

    The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the global digital payment market, with a surge in contactless payment solutions and significant growth expected in APAC.

    Contactless Payment Surge Boosts Global Digital Payment Market

    Digital payment is referred to as those payments that take place using the various types of electronic medium. These methods do not require payment to be made in the form of cash or providing cheque. At present, there are multiple modes and types of digital payments that are prevalent across the globe such as Banking Cards, USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data), UPI (United Payment Interface), Mobile wallets, Point of Sale Machines (PoS), Mobile Banking, Internet Banking, and many more.

    According to the report analysis, ‘Global Digital Payment Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2020-2026)’ states that ACI Worldwide, WEX, Adyen, Dwolla, Fiserv, Novatti, PayPal, Paysafe, Worldpay and Wirecard are some of the prominent players operating in the Global Digital Payment market. Several M&A’s along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate costumers with more efficient and innovative payment solution.

    Payment services are a foundation of every economy. With digitization and continued technological development, they can increasingly offer consumers and businesses ways of paying that are tailored, convenient and flexible. Digital payments can also aid financial inclusion, facilitate budgeting, and enable action to prevent and tackle economic crime. Therefore, global digital payment market was valued to be in USD billion in the year 2019, owing to the sudden COVID-19 outbreak demand for the contactless payment. The government recognises that the growth in the use of digital payments has been swift, and it wants to ensure that everyone has the option to be able to pay for goods and services digitally. That is why the government has undertaken a significant program of work that, by supporting innovation and competition, has already helped make digital payments simpler, quicker, and cheaper.

    Moreover, the report covers a deep-dive analysis of the Digital Payment, detailed regional-level analysis of North America (US, Canada, Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, UK, France, Italy, Spain, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Singapore and Rest of Asia-Pacific) and Rest of the World has been conducted. United States generated significant revenue in 2019. However, APAC is expected to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period 2021-2026.

    The demand for digital payment has increased globally as developed economies have implemented a cashless payment infrastructure based primarily on credit cards several decades ago, but in recent years, the legacy structures have suddenly become a burden. The “Western” markets are now much slower to adopt new payment solutions than growing economies such as China, India, or Eastern Europe. A large share of the population in the developing economies of Asia, Africa, and Latin America has also been under banked until the rise of mobile payment and wallet innovations that completely rely on accessible mobile technology.
