According to FMI, the credit card segment is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2022 to 2032.

The increasing application of smartphones and rising penetration of the internet across the globe have resulted in a rise in online payments, which is expected to benefit the payment processing solutions market during the forecast period. Various players and banking entities are developing mobile wallet applications for smartphones, triggering market growth.
Also, the growing demand to enhance the payment process and offer customers value-added services to maintain demand for digital processing is likely to benefit the market in the forthcoming period.

Similarly, French National Cashless Payments Committee was established in 2015 to promote contactless payments.
With ongoing technological development, real-time payment solutions are advancing in various spheres, such as; banking.

For instance, in March 2022, The Clearing House and Fiserv, Inc., a known financial services technology solution provider, announced a strategic collaboration.
Thousands of financial institutions will be able to perform real-time payments for consumers and businesses. In another instance, in October 2017, 13 financial enterprises and banks disclosed a collaboration on a new platform run by New Payments Platform Australia (NPP Australia). Owing to such initiatives, the real-time payment concept is likely to garner significant traction, thereby, benefitting the market in the forecast period.
Further, increasing interest in ‘request for pay’, a secure path for real-time payments, presents various avenues for major payment system changes. Established financial entities have already taken initiatives to launch Rfp applications.
For instance, USA Bank began providing Rfp facilities to corporate billers in the fall of 2021 and disclosed that small business customers and its consumers would be receiving Rfp messages through mail or text messages beginning in Q1 2022.

As per a recent study, about 83% of organizations in the APAC region do not consider cybersecurity while commencing a digital transformation project, making them susceptible to such attacks. Having limited funds and resources, the security measures taken by SMEs against such breaches are generally insufficient. Hackers find it easier to get access to the e-wallets of such SMEs and get away without being caught. This makes citizens reluctant to adopt e-payment services, thus, limiting the market growth in the forecast period.
As per Central Statistics Office (CSO), cyberattacks are likely to result in a loss of USD 6 trillion annually, as against USD 3 trillion in 2015. Moreover, Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) Payments Fraud and Control Survey Report 2019, globally, more than 81% of organizations have witnessed cyberattacks.
