Global Mobile payment market

The important driver increasing growth in the global mobile payment market is the growth in e-commerce. Significant growth in e-commerce through online businesses such as online retail shopping, recharges, money transfer, gas refill and so on is giving rise to mobile payment. The online world is rapidly expanding due to factors like rising number of broadband connections and availability of internet network. E-commerce gives shoppers’ convenience to shop from any location at any time; the physical distance between the buyer and the seller is removed. E-commerce has spread to developing countries like India, China, Nigeria, Kenya and Bangladesh, where a large number of urban as well as rural population shops online.

Mobile P2P transfer is sending/ receiving money domestically or internationally over a mobile phone. Mobile P2P transfer service works on SMS based model where money is transferred via SMS. Mobile P2P applications are widely utilized in African and Asian countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Philippines, and Vietnam etc. Prominent mobile P2P players are Vodafone M-Pesa, Airtel Money and GCash. Many players are entering into the P2P market; from large IT companies to small startups. For example, Google Wallet is one of the key players in the market. The P2P market is hugely impacting the global economy by diminishing the need for check and cash.

Security threats, spyware and malware attacks, and interoperability are the major factors hindering the mobile payment market. Security threats are considered to be the biggest concern for any mobile payment services. There are various mobile applications available in the market out of which mobile payments are considered to be vulnerable to security threats. Security is of paramount importance when it comes to money transfer or any online transaction. The mobile payment transaction is exposed to risks of frauds via data theft. Since several parties are involved in performing the payment service, there could be a breach in security at several points, and this could be more dangerous when a mobile payment provider outsources consumer data without proper oversight. This can invite hackers and fraudsters to misuse the data by making unnamed transactions by stealing the data from the outsourced company.
