The number of people who use Apple Pay in the United States is expected to grow by nine million between 2022 and 2026, according to estimates. Such estimates are based on what limited information is available on these mobile payment methods, as well as overall trend developments when it comes to smartphone adoption or overall retail spending trends. Companies such as Apple and Google rarely share user figures on their payment methods, making it relatively difficult to estimate how much these contactless payment methods are used.
