Payment processing solutions facilitate business organizations and consumers to make money transactions securely and economically using either traditional point-of-sale terminals, web-based payment gateways, or cellular phones. Increased demand for less cash-based transactions, in conjunction with the ubiquity of smartphones and internet connectivity, has driven the take-up of these solutions across industries such as retail and hospitality, healthcare and transport.

The market is being reshaped by changing consumer behaviour and changing technologies. Contactless payments, hybrid payment channels, and mobile wallets are gaining traction with ease of such products as well as greater consumer convenience. Additionally, changing security customs like tokenization, encryption, and biometrics have kept fraud and data protection issue at arm's length while driving higher take-up of digital payments.

Providers in most cases nowadays provide flexible and customized platforms appropriate for SMEs and solo entrepreneurs to become competitive in the digital economy. Payment processing companies are also offering add-on services to payment processing, such as analytics, customer analysis, and loyalty schemes, to provide value-added services to consumers.

Market Drivers

Increasing Focus on Security and Fraud Prevention

• Establishing consumer trust, safeguarding sensitive payment data, and minimizing financial risks associated with fraudulent transactions are the primary motivations for the increased focus on security and fraud protection in payment processing solutions. Merchants and payment processors can ensure secure and reliable payment transactions and establish consumer trust in electronic payment systems by implementing robust security practices and fraud prevention measures.
• Encryption methods ensure secure transmission of payment details between the retailer, consumer, and payment processor. This encryption prevents unauthorized access or interception of the financial details by converting the same into a meaningless code. Two-factor authentication also enhances payment processing security. The users have to provide additional authentication, such as their normal login credentials and an OTP sent to their registered mobile number. Only users who are authenticated can initiate and complete payment transactions due to this authentication method.

Market Opportunities

Global e-commerce growth

• A vast opportunity for payment processing products is provided by the ongoing expansion of e-commerce. Secure, convenient, and dependable payment processing products will be in ever-growing demand as more companies set up online stores and more shoppers shop online. To accommodate a range of consumer preferences, this means accepting a variety of payment methods, including digital wallets, credit/debit cards, and alternative payment types. Apart from that, there is a tremendous scope for payment processing solutions as mobile payment solutions are being utilized more and more in the e-commerce industry. People are using mobile payment solutions more and more because mobile apps are simple to use and everyone has a smartphone. Payment processors can take advantage of this growing customer segment by providing strong mobile payment features, such as in-app buying and mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) systems.

Market Restraining Factors

Lack of digital literacy in emerging countries

• Development of online and mobile payments is inhibited by digital illiteracy among most of the developing world, which negatively impacts the development of the payment processing solutions market as well. Ability to read and comprehend technical information that helps consumers use and control digital tools is only one among several skills encompassed under digital literacy. Since most African countries have very low digital literacy levels, individuals cannot utilize the potential of digital technologies to their advantage. Since there are not so many digital transactions, technology providers are also not prepared to invest. It is thus expected that the payment processing solution market will develop at a slower pace in emerging economies because of low digital literacy levels.
