Mobile payment market is expected to reach USD 201.39 billion by 2030

The rapid acceptance of digital currencies and the increasing availability of secure and reliable payment solutions worldwide with the high penetration of smartphones and the internet are major factors for the growth of the digital payment market.

According to a new research report by Next Move Strategy Consulting, the global Mobile Payment Market size was valued at USD 83.39 billion in 2022, and is expected to reach USD 201.39 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 13.5% during the forecast period, 2023–2030.

Mobile payment is witnessing a rapid growth in adoption, owing to the growing internet penetration for e-commerce and m-commerce. This, in turn, drives the growth of the market. Moreover, with the rising adoption of sound wave-based mobile payments, payments are made using sound waves and processed using special sound waves that contain encrypted payment information. This method eliminates the use of existing technologies, including banking apps or mobile wallets, near-field communication (NFC), or card terminals. Mobile payments based on sound waves do not require the internet. This, in turn, is expected to propel the growth of the market.

However, security concerns and the threat of data breaches further lead to the loss of personal information. This, in turn, hinders the market growth. On the other hand, the introduction of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence and virtual & augmented reality, to improve the functionality and convenience of mobile payment systems is expected to create ample growth opportunities for the market.
