Global Mobile Wallet Market Analysis
Some of the primary reasons influencing market growth are the emergence of payment-enabled mobile phones, connected and real-time marketing, and the social media influence. Mobile commerce and mobile ticketing are the top markets with the highest revenue and growth rates. The rise in smart phone penetration, as well as enterprises' attempts to improve mobile commerce platforms, services, and apps as a result of high usage, are important market drivers for the mobile wallet market prediction. In the case of mobile ticketing, the predicted widespread use of NFC-based ticketing solutions for transit reasons is likely to fuel growth. However, the mobile wallet industry is projected to be hampered by fierce competition.
In the future years, low trust in mobile wallets might be a major stumbling point for the industry. According to a study conducted by yourgov, 43% of mobile users do not trust mobile wallets, and 38% have insufficient security confidence. Similarly, most consumers are cautious to use mobile wallets since contactless payment carries a considerable risk of fraud, such as data leakage, hacking, and e-wallet flaws. Furthermore, there is a misunderstanding about the benefits of using mobile wallets for online payment and purchasing expensive items over cash, credit cards, and debit cards.
The expansion of the worldwide mobile wallet market in emerging economies was fueled by the unbanked population, internet shopping, and person-to-person money transfers. Low- and middle-income countries, such as Africa, have the largest unbanked populations, providing tremendous opportunities for mobile wallet companies like M-Pesa. The global mobile wallet has grown rapidly in low-middle income nations such as Africa and Nigeria, thanks to the rigidity of banks and strict government restrictions and policies. Emerging markets like India, China, and Brazil are likely to play a big role in the global mobile wallet market's expansion. A growing number of start-ups and banks are joining the mobile wallet sector, creating more opportunities.
