Customers cite merchant adoption as the greatest obstacle
eCommerce growth drives mobile wallet usage growth
eCommerce use has increased swiftly due to growing mobile wallet usage, with convenience when accessing eCommerce being a critical factor in the success of different wallets. Yet for eCommerce sellers, it remains a difficulty to know what mobile wallets to support. With numerous wallets accessible, the expenditures of acknowledging all payments types is too costly. Merchants must thus decide on the markets and payment methods that will be most lucrative while collaborating with partners that can hasten their distribution.
China
It’s undeniable that China is the most highly developed mobile payments market in the world, with two hugely successful wallets–WeChat Pay and AliPay–accounting for 1 billion and 1.2 billion users respectively and forming a duopoly. The incomparable levels of cohesion among these two wallets and their immense user bases have resulted in merchants, even overseas ones, routinely accepting them as payment. Although growth in the number of Chinese users will almost certainly remain unchanged in the next five years, we anticipate continued increases in transaction amounts and value.
India
India is one of the more deeply-rooted mobile payments ecosystems in the world. In 2020, 200 million wallet users were registered and this figure is predicted to expand to 434 million by 2025. Evidence of widespread adoption of Paytm was seen in 2016 when India’s demonetization regulations were implemented which ultimately allowed the wallet to accrue up to 10 million users in 2017.
