Over 65% of the Population in China is Forecast to Use Proximity Mobile Payments by 2025

Smart payment transaction value is forecasted to exceed a trillion euros by 2026 in Japan

The report Snapshot: Asia-Pacific Digital Payment Forecasts 2022-2025 provides insights into the future trends of the APAC digital payment market. Among other findings, the publication reveals that by 2025, mobile wallet user penetration in India is projected to nearly double to almost a third of the population.

By 2025 the volume of non-cash transactions in the APAC region is forecasted to surpass the one trillion mark

The APAC online payments industry was profoundly shaped by the COVID-19 global health crisis in 2020, which has led to a major advancement in the market. The rate of adoption of cashless payments has accelerated dramatically and is projected to grow even more. In fact, the region is estimated to add the most value to the number of cashless payments compared to other regions worldwide in 2021 and further.

Asia-Pacific is expected to be the global leading market for mobile wallet payments

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the use of mobile payments worldwide since 2020. This is attributed to the enhanced security and cross-channel payment features of mobile contactless payments. In 2021, China is expected to be the leading country in the share of contactless mobile payment users, accounting for more than 4 out of 5 smartphone users, followed by South Korea. In addition, mobile wallets have become the primary way to make payments in a number of nations, as authorities attempt to reduce the use of cash. In Asia-Pacific, for example, the number of mobile wallets in use is projected to more than double from 2021 to 2025.
