FORECAST SUMMARY

By 2024, digital commerce transaction volumes will reach 1.08 trillion globally; rising from 966 billion this year - a very strong 12% growth in a single year.

The strongest growth will be in three markets, driving overall digital commerce adoption. These markets are:

• a) NFC Payments: 30%
• b) Digital Ticketing: 19%
• c) Physical Goods: 12%

NFC payments are surging, boosted by increasing contactless acceptance, particularly within transit. The move to open-loop payment systems within ticketing has had an important network effect; boosting awareness of contactless payments among potential users and increasing usage within markets that previously lagged behind, such as the US and Germany.

The shift towards open-loop payments within ticketing has now begun to reach more remote areas, becoming the default payment method in many markets. We anticipate this momentum to boost contactless payments overall, and also increase open-loop adoption in other areas, such as for EV charging.

With the rising cost of living reducing disposable income, digital commerce vendors need to differentiate themselves to maintain growth. As such, vendors in highly competitive markets, such as money transfer, must focus on reducing the cost of payments as the key differentiator in the current climate.
