The Mobile Payments Market is Projected to Reach $
Post# of 193
Experts project that the global mobile payment market will be worth a whopping $1.16 trillion by 2032. The mobile money market has seen significant advancements over the past decade thanks to technological advancements that have made it possible for hundreds of millions of people worldwide to access virtual payment services.
Projections show the market will have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 36.2% between 2025 and 2032, raising its valuation to $1.161 trillion by 2032. Expanding use cases for mobile money across various industries coupled with tech innovations and expanding digital adoption will be the main drivers for this growth. 5G networks are expected to play an integral role in the mobile money market’s growth, especially for high-value, real-time transactions, due to its low latency and faster internet speeds.
With an increasingly larger portion of commerce occurring online, mobile money platforms like Apple Pay, Alipay, and WeChat Pay are becoming the dominant form of payment for a growing number of people. Extended mobile phone penetration, particularly in Asia and the West, as well as surging demand for convenient payment systems that are secure, seamless, and easy to use, have also encouraged the mobile money market’s growth.
Mobile payment services went truly mainstream during the COVID-19 pandemic as people moved away from physical currency to virtual payments to avoid infection and their popularity has soared in the years since due to their flexibility and convenience. They allow registered customers to transfer funds, pay bills, make purchases, and in many cases, store digital currencies using tablets, smartphones, and even smartwatches.
Currently valued at billions of dollars, mobile money is poised to grow due to several factors. Increased smartphone adoption in emerging nations, improved payment security, the proliferation of P2P (Peer-to-Peer) payment systems and digital wallets, and the increased popularity of contactless payments will be critical to the market’s growth. Financial institutions and banks have also embraced mobile money and are partnering with fintech companies to develop solutions for the growing pool of customers who want mobile-first banking.
Research and innovation in blockchain, QR codes, and NFC technology will also drive the mobile market industry’s growth by boosting mobile money security, accessibility, and efficiency. Growth in the e-commerce segment and a rising preference for online shopping will also provide an environment where mobile money services are the easiest and most convenient payment method, particularly among younger shoppers who use smartphones more frequently.
This bullish forecast for the mobile payments space presents significant growth opportunities for enterprises like FingerMotion Inc. (NASDAQ: FNGR) that have ventured into the provision of virtual payment services in major markets like the Chinese market.
