Global Mobile Wallet Market is valued at approximately USD 7.42 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 28.3% during the forecast period 2023-2030. A mobile wallet, functioning as an electronic wallet, facilitates seamless payments using credit/debit cards or linked bank accounts, ensuring the security of user data. It functions as a virtual wallet, allowing users to link credit/debit cards or bank accounts for digital payments. Users leverage mobile wallets for various transactions, including mobile recharges, bill payments, booking movies/travel, and transferring money between bank accounts. The market is being propelled by the widespread adoption of smartphones, increased internet penetration, enhanced security features and the shift towards contactless payments.
In addition, the surge in e-commerce and online transactions is acting as a catalyzing factor for market growth across the globe. The booming e-commerce sector, with the shift towards online shopping and digital transactions, acts as a significant driver for the Mobile Wallet Market. According to Statista, in 2015 the global retail e-commerce sales were USD 1,548 billion and the number is anticipated to reach USD 8,148 billion by 2026. As a result, the rising e-commerce sector is anticipated to create a lucrative demand for the growth of the Mobile Wallet Market over the estimated period. Moreover, the growing emphasis on technological advancements in technologies such as Near Field Communication (NFC) and biometrics, as well as the supportive government policies and initiatives promoting digital payments and financial inclusion present various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the limited merchant acceptance and the rise of data privacy concerns by end-users are challenging the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Mobile Wallet Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022 owing to the growing population, widespread smartphone adoption, increasing internet subscribers, and the rapid expansion of the retail and e-commerce sectors in countries such as India and China. Furthermore, government initiatives such as Digital India and Make in India are anticipated to boost smartphone and smart device penetration, leading to a high demand for mobile wallets. Whereas, Latin America is expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast years. The supportive regulatory frameworks and infrastructure established by governments and financial institutions, coupled with the shift towards contactless payments and convenience and accessibility are significantly propelling the market demand across the region.
