Digital Wallets, QR Codes emerge as Cash Cows for Global Mobile Money Market, COVID-19 fuels usage of Digital Currency – Future Market Insights

An inflexion point has been reached with regard to business transactions amid the pandemic crisis. Aversion to cash and card payments due to the risk of contracting the coronavirus is prompting individuals to utilize e-commerce platforms to purchase consumer goods, augmenting the usage of digital wallets.

DUBAI / ACCESSWIRE / June 18, 2020 / Future Market Insights: As digitization and automation becomes increasingly sophisticated with each passing day, individual lives are being revolutionized in all spheres of life. A major development has been observed across the payments industry. While internet banking and cashless transactions have pervaded human lives since the past several decades, the 21st century has especially generated a spike in cash free transactions. As more people possess smartphones, tablets and laptops, the proportion of digital literacy has increased, augmenting the use of digital wallets. According to the Electronic Transactions Association, over a quarter of the small businesses in the United States have reported an increase in contactless payment services such as Apple Pay.

It has taken a global pandemic to usher in a radical shift towards mobile banking. As people have become confined to their houses in the wake of maintaining social distancing, reliance on e-commerce to conduct daily transactions has increased, prompting e-commerce giants to invest heavily in streamlining their online platforms. Various e-commerce behemoths such as Amazon, eBay and Alibaba have collaborated with digital payment service providers to facilitate smooth payment gateways and offer multiple options for consumers to choose from. As native users become more adept at using digital payment platforms, the mobile money market penetration is set to deepen, expanding at a stellar rate during the forecast period of 2020-2030.

"Provision of incentives such as discounts, cashbacks and reward points are attracting and encouraging more customers to adopt digital wallets as their primary approach towards payment for goods and services. Vendors must therefore capitalize and adopt similar trends in order to remain afloat in the mobile money market," concludes a leading FMI analyst.

Rising adoption of digital wallets and internet banking for payments have compelled service providers to streamline their payment gateways to facilitate smooth exchange of goods and services. Growing preference for contactless transactions to avoid the spread of COVID-19 has prompted consumers to use mobile wallets.

During the initial stages of the pandemic, a general trend of panic buying has led consumers to amass essential products such as foodstuffs, medicines and groceries. Due to the implementation of social distancing measures, most of these goods were purchased via e-commerce platforms.

This trend is still continuing and will remain the most preferred option even in the post-pandemic scenario. Going by a comparative scenario, the volume of digital transactions during the second quarter of 2020 has registered a significantly higher proportion of digital payments as opposed to the same time period in 2019.
