Mobile Payments I: The many faces of global mobile payments

Statista trend report on the mobile payments market in various countries across the world

Mobile Payments I: The many faces of global mobile payments

Part 1 of 2 in a series that focuses on fintech-led payment digitalization, this report investigates the trends that are forming mobile payment markets across different regions of the world, on a country-by-country basis.

Technology that allows mobile devices to initiate a payment transaction continues to spread, accelerated by COVID-19 measures. Well before the pandemic, however, countries took different approaches to digital payments. This, and the new technologies knocking at the door are set to change the way how consumers pay in a e-commerce or retail environment across the world.

This report can be read together with "Mobile Payments II: The business models behind mobile payments", but the two studies can stand on their own from each other.
