Online Consumer Payments: Sizing the Opportunity

Summary

This report examines the online consumer payments market in 28 global markets, considering the overall market size and its development, as well as the importance of mobile devices as opposed to desktop and laptop computers. The report also breaks down the online market by the type of goods consumers buy and the tools they choose to pay with, considering how consumer buying behavior has changed and the drivers of this change.

Online consumer payments remain the biggest growth market in payments, and will continue growing strongly as more consumers gain access to the internet and to tools that can be used online.
