COVID-19 IMPACT

Increased Contactless Transaction Boosted the Market During the Lockdown Period

The COVID-19 coronavirus has had a significant impact on both humans and the global economy. The channels and modes of transactions between consumers and businesses have been significantly altered. People these days are more cautious when using cash to make purchases while out in public. The demand for contactless payment methods, including mobile wallets, NFC, QR codes, and others, has suddenly increased as a result of this. The World Health Organization (WHO) advised consumers worldwide to switch to contactless payments in March 2020. This has increased the number of mobile payment transactions and boosted contactless payment methods like carrier billing, tap-to-pay NFC, and QR code, among others.

A sizeable portion of customers worldwide are utilizing contactless payment to preserve safety and hygiene, according to a poll by MasterCard. Following the epidemic, these customers are likely to keep using remote mobile payments. The volume of transactions and cross-border payments have decreased as a result of the temporary closure of manufacturing and industrial facilities. However, there has been a substantial increase in the use of mobile transaction modes. As a result, it is anticipated that during and after the pandemic, the mobile-based payment option would see substantial development.

LATEST TRENDS

Use of Artificial Intelligence to Push the Growth of the Market

The market for remote mobile payments is predicted to have strong growth thanks to artificial intelligence (AI). Businesses may examine their data and spot trends with the help of Al. Furthermore, it aids in identifying and tracking consumers' purchasing patterns. Customers of Starbucks, for instance, can order and pay for items using their mobile devices through the My Starbucks Barista app. The designated amount is immediately taken from the user's account with the aid of Al technology when the customer's location is close to the store.

Al's ability to recognize patterns makes it a valuable tool for spotting fraud in these mobile payments made remotely. Al is capable of spotting fraudulent activities in real time using use-cases and previous data trends. For improved consumer experiences and safe mobile transactions, artificial intelligence is increasingly being used, which is fueling industry expansion. For instance, Visa Inc. introduced Visa Net +Al in February 2021 to solve the problems and challenges associated with daily settlement faced by financial institutions, merchants, banks, and customers. Al assists service providers in providing safe, clear, dependable, and immediate payments.

DRIVING FACTORS

Incentives Facilities to Augment the Market

There is intense rivalry in the consumer market as a result of several payment service providers investing in their companies. The firms that make payment apps, like Google Pay, Alipay, Amazon Pay, and others, are utilizing innovative tactics to keep their existing client base and get new ones. For instance, Google Pay provides scratch cards that may be obtained through a small number of transactions and contain a particular amount. Such initiatives are assisting in preserving client loyalty among those who use cellphones to make payments. Additionally, businesses have begun to compensate customers who choose to do purchases through mobile channels with perks and rebates.

Implementation of Rewards and Coupons to Boost the Market

To help users keep track of their points, the companies are providing an app. For instance, Samsung Pay rewards users of its smartphones with points for each purchase they make.

For instance, in order to increase customer engagement, Hilton Worldwide started accepting payments and accepting reservations through their own app, Honors. The market share for remote mobile payments worldwide is anticipated to increase as a result.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Consistent Habit of Using Traditional Paying Methods to Hamper the Market

Although remote mobile payment solutions offer a number of advantages like improved operability, reliability, and flexibility, the majority of end users are still totally reliant on cash for their daily activities. Since most people have been using the traditional payment method for some time, they are hesitant to adopt new technologies. Customers prefer the traditional method of payment when the transaction amount is large because it is consistent with their habits. Along with other information, the payment method also saves personal data like location, balance, buying habits, and card PINs. Due to this, there is a higher chance that this personal data will be used without authorization, which makes customers more concerned about security. The market's growth is probably going to be hindered by this.
