The global contactless payments market is
expected to reach USD 2.23 trillion (transaction value) by 2025, according to a
new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The contactless payments industry is
expected to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to
innovations in technologies such as IoT, which acts as a major market driver.
Benefits such as
reduction in transaction time and improved service delivery offered by
contactless payments have resulted in a significant rise in the number of
users. Some of the key features of contactless systems include easy
installation and cost effectiveness. The rising trend of making payments
through QR codes and mobile phones is expected to drive the market demand.
Individuals largely prefer using contactless payment as it eliminates the need
to carry cash.
North America is
expected to emerge as one of the key regional markets over the forecast period.
The growth is mainly attributed to the increasing deployment of cloud-based
contactless payment technologies in various verticals such as transportation.
Europe is expected to be another major region for contactless payments owing to
the growing number of smart card rollouts. Countries in the Asia Pacific
region, such as Australia, Taiwan, and Japan, have witnessed a higher penetration
rate of contactless payments compared to other countries.
The contactless payments
market can be segmented on the basis of devices into smartphones and wearables,
point of sale terminals, and smart cards. The market can also be segmented on
the basis of solutions into payment terminal solution, transaction management,
security and fraud management, hosted point of sale, and analytics.
