Square : Extensive Mobile Device Usage is Set to Drive the Global Mobile Payments Market Growth

NEW YORK, December 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The rapid growth of the Internet and mobile devices has caused a major disruption in the mobile payments market. Mobile devices allow users to simply access payment platforms in order to make payments or send transactions between one another. Advancements made in technology have transformed mobile phones into not just communication devices, but also monetary transferring devices. According to data compiled by Mordor Intelligence, the global mobile payments market was valued at USD 718.49 Billion in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 2.73 Trillion by 2023. Additionally, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 24.5% during the forecast period. With the rate at which the global economy is growing and the increasing penetration of smartphone devices, the mobile payments market will continue to experience robust growth.

E-commerce growth has also contributed heavily to the mobile payments market. According to the E-Commerce Foundation, the e-commerce industry made USD 1.84 Trillion in revenue, with most sales coming from mobile devices. More than 25% of consumers have purchased a product online through e-commerce platforms. The growth in the e-commerce market has prompted many businesses, especially retailers, to adopt a form of digital payment for its consumers. "With the rising popularity of ecommerce and mobile payment options, it's no wonder that retail companies are now switching over to the digital world as their main storefront," said Shin Park, author at the Mobile Payments Conference, "Now we can see the shift starting from e-commerce on the desktop to mobile. Countless companies are seeing most of their customers coming to their sites through mobile devices."
