Digital Payment Infrastructure Market Size, Share & Growth Report 2032

Digital Payment Infrastructure Market Report Scope & Overview:

The Digital Payment Infrastructure Market was worth USD XX billion in 2023 and is predicted to be worth USD XX billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of XX between 2024 and 2032.

The growth of the Digital Payment Infrastructure Market has been facilitated by several factors that have been key in the way it has evolved. By 2023, more than 2.144 billion people worldwide had involved themselves in digital payments, and that number is set to further increase. The first four years of the same decade have been marked by the permanent demand for online shopping, which is popular among consumers due to its convenience and better terms. Consequently, the related growth of online transactions has fueled the increased use of mobile wallets, QR code payments, and contactless technologies.

Information technology and new developments have been equally important in contributing to the growth of the digital payment infrastructure. The introduction of contactless and wireless technologies such as NFC, RFID, and HCE has increased the speed of the transaction and the level of security in both B2B and B2C sectors. In 2023, the global use of contactless payment options rose by almost 30% annually. Due to the overall acceptance of mobile payment, more than 5.209 billion people are expected to be using mobile wallets by 2025. Social infrastructure turning into cashless systems, and governments pushing to consolidate the move, have equally stimulated the growth of digital payment. This includes India’s national Digital India and China’s Greater Bay Area, which facilitated 29.29 billion transactions in 2023. Finally, the change in customers’ use of mobile wallets and currencies is currently going to drive the growth of the digital payment infrastructure. In the UK, it is already used by 34% of consumers at least once a month in 2023.

Digital Payment Infrastructure Market Dynamics

Drivers

Policies promoting cashless societies and digital transactions boost infrastructure development.

The growth of the Digital Payment Infrastructure Market is facilitated primarily by governmental policies. Governments introduce a range of initiatives to ensure that their economies are digital-friendly, which will attract businesses and stimulate even faster economic growth. These policies focus on both the supply and demand of digital payments, which means that together they create a trend and foster an environment suitable for the growth of infrastructure. On the supply side, digital-payment-friendly policies motivate businesses to accept these payments, which helps attract even more customers who wish to use e-wallets or mobile banking. On the demand side, the government invests in the growth of digital payments and therefore fosters the infrastructure to accommodate the increasing demand for these types of transactions.

The digital-payment-friendly policies of numerous governments globally focus on the economic benefits of digital payments. For example, as the McKinsey report states, India grows to be more connected, becoming a truly digital economy. The country launched the “Digital India” initiative, which focuses on encouraging customers to shift to using digital wallets, online banking, and other similar platforms. Moreover, these policies usually include a range of regulations that make digital transactions secure and smooth – these regulations help build consumers’ trust and make digital payments more widely accepted. Finally, the government invests in expanding the digital payments system, including the development and partnership with private companies to create secure web payment gateways, faster broadband offerings, and faster real-time payment solutions systems. The governmental initiatives also include tax benefits for customers and businesses to stimulate the use of digital payment, as well as direct subsidies for digital infrastructure conducting. Overall, making these transactions more affordable and available attracts greater and greater numbers of customers and underpins the Digital Payment Infrastructure Market growth.

The rapid expansion of online shopping drives the demand for secure and efficient digital payment solutions.
Increased use of mobile wallets and contactless payments is fueling market growth globally.

Restraints

Inadequate internet infrastructure, especially in rural areas, limits the accessibility and efficiency of digital payment systems.

Lack of adequate internet infrastructure, especially in rural areas, hampers the growth of the Digital Payment Infrastructure Market. Digital payment systems require fast, stable internet connections for transactions to process smoothly, data to be processed securely, and systems to be run seamlessly. With internet access being low and sometimes unreliable in rural regions, such systems are not able to function properly. People in these areas do not also have a conducive environment to allow them to properly adopt digital payment, both businesses providing the services and customers. Poor internet infrastructure leads to extended transaction time, errors in transactions, or, in the worst-case scenario, failure of the transaction. E-commerce is an example where transactions need to be conducted quickly, reliably, and effectively. The problem becomes even more pronounced due to the high costs of internet subscriptions and data charges paid in rural regions. With the inconvenience imposed on customers and the added cost, the systems are not likely to be adopted as they will be deemed to be both unreliable and unnecessarily expensive. The result of this inconvenience is the immunity of the infrastructure market and the services that it offers, as customers abandon their use due to inconvenience.

The absence of adequate internet connectivity also dampens the rapid growth of mobile payment solutions M-Payments, which have been rising in popularity because of the high number of smartphone users in rural regions. The different methods of mobile payment, including mobile wallets and QR code payments, require fast and reliable internet infrastructure to be operated effectively, and in cases where this is not available, they are not adopted. This will continue to be the case in the absence of proper internet infrastructure and will hamper market growth.

Increasing digital transactions raise concerns about data breaches and fraud, hindering trust in digital payment systems.
The cost of setting up and maintaining digital payment infrastructure can be prohibitive for smaller businesses and developing regions.

Such software can be expected to develop increasingly more advanced features, such as improved security measures and real-time analytics; in addition, the software will be made to be seamlessly compatible with mobile wallets.

By Payment Mode

In 2023, the Credit/Debit Cards segment accounted for a major share of the Digital Payment Infrastructure Market. It was dominant due to the strongest relations with customers and services provided with a strong use of credit and debit card transactions both for online and retail purchases. Consumer trust and convenience are key benefits of the sector’s dominance, with e-commerce expansion on a global scale and a move towards cash-free transactions. Furthermore, the sector is helped by a strong track record of safety improvements, including EMV chip technology and tokenization, which improve customer trust. In general, this segment of the market will grow steadily because a majority of consumers will opt for digital-first payment methods. The future forecast is that this sector will steadily lead because it is related to a range of ongoing innovations across the industry and a worldwide push for digital payment solutions.

The fastest CAGR in the Digital Payment Infrastructure Market is expected to be recorded for the Mobile Payments segment. It is anticipated because of such changes as the growing number of smartphone and mobile wallet users, as well as rising interest in contactless methods. It can also be associated with changes involving mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay and the expanding use of QR code transactions.

Regional Landscape

North America accounted for the largest share of the Digital Payment Infrastructure Market in 2023 As a result of this near-perfect storm of tech infrastructure, a large percentage of the populace connected to the internet, and the high rates of digital payment adoption, the region sits firmly atop the mountain. In the US and Canada, we have been amongst the early adopters of mobile payments, contactless cards, and e-commerce platforms. Additionally, the growing regulatory framework and government initiatives to promote a cashless society are further set to boost market growth. North America is also all set to be on the leading edge due to the rapid adoption of modern technologies like cloud-based solutions, blockchain, and AI. North America is expected to maintain its dominion over the market as the region continues to make substantial investments in digital payment systems while 5G utilization steadily expands throughout the continent.

Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the Digital Payment Infrastructure Market. Rapid industrialization, the increasing penetration of smartphones, and established mobile wallet acceptance in countries like China, India, and Japan are the major reasons for the market growth. There is significant growth in e-commerce in the APAC region, alongside government-backed schemes to promote cashless transactions, as evidenced by its Digital India campaign. The increasing number of middle-class people in the region and the growing prevalence of digital financial services in emerging countries escalate the rapid growth of this market.
