Payment Processor Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)


Posted May 20, 2021 by statzyreports

The changing aspects in the payments industry are fluctuating as businesses and consumers change dollars from cash and checks to digital payment approaches.

 
 Cards dominate the in-store retail channel, but mobile wallets are seeing a quick uptick in practice. At the same time, e-commerce will take away at brick-and-mortar retail as smartphones attract a growing part of digital shopping. When it comes to cyberattacks, eCommerce is an extremely vulnerable industry due to the sensitive information exchanged on websites. According to ecommerce-platforms.com, 32.4% of all cyber-attacks are carried out on eCommerce websites.

- Major driving factors that are expected to drive the global payment processing market are the rising government initiatives for the promotion of digital and online payments, increased production of smartphones, improving customer experiences, and their demand for the imminence of payments and settlements. The quantity of online transactions globally across trades is proliferating. It is asserted in the world payment report 2019 that non-cash transactions had reached 539 billion in 2017, growing at 12%. According to retail tech news, e-commerce retailing includes almost 12% of the total retail industry.

- Besides, debit cards, credit cards, and credit transfer accounted for 17%, 11%, and 10% respectively in top growth in non-cash payment instruments. The enraged demand for online retailing globally is expected to drive online payment, thereby propelling the payment processor market over the forecast period. Credit card remains to be the preferred way to pay in department shops, most possibly owing to people who choose a credit card for procurements in a higher value. On the other side, strict regulations in the payment industry and the growing cases of cyber-attacks and data breaches are restraining the growth to an extent.

- With businesses across the board witnessing a sharp slowdown owing to COVID-19, the digital payments sector is supposed to have registered a decline of around 30% in transaction value over the past few weeks, according to Economic Times. For instance, transactions on the platform BharatPe, a QR-code based payments startup, have reduced by nearly 10%-15% due to COVID-19. Aviation, which adds almost one-fourth of all online digital transactions, has seen a drop of nearly 40% due to cancellations and refunds because of restrictions on international travel.

- Besides, according to Mercury Processing Services International, consumers are increasingly ready to embrace digital wallets and contactless payments. New research suggests traditionally distrustful US consumers are becoming more interested in contactless payments, while in Germany, more than half of payments currently made by card are contactless, compared with 35% before the coronavirus crisis hit. Online payment transaction volume is surging as consumers confined to their homes are turning to digital purchasing channels. Global e-commerce transactions were up 23% in mid-March compared with average weekly size.
