The global payment gateway market size was valued at USD 22.1 Billion in 2021 and is expected to surpass USD 58.7 Billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 21.2% during the forecast period, 2022-2030. The growth of the market is attributed to the rapid digital transformation of payment systems and the rising popularity of cashless payment through mobile methods.
A payment gateway refers to an electronic platform through which a consumer can make the payment digitally or make cashless transactions possible. It is a high-end payment service system that allows consumers to pay directly to merchants using either their smartphones or swiping debit or credit cards to the card reading machines.
The payment gateway basically provides a better payment experience and payment security for consumers as it offers a safe mode of transaction and reliable payment methods. As a result, several merchants adopt several payment gateway methods such as point-of-sale terminals, especially at most brick-and-mortar stores to ensure a convenient and effective checkout process for customers.
Similarly, these payment platforms are also widely used as a ‘checkout’ portal for online stores to complete the payment process of consumers. Every provider of payment gateway had to link with banking organizations to facilitate payment services such as UPI, RTGS, or NEFT using net banking facilities by customers.
The COVID-19 pandemic opened up several opportunities for market expansion as consumers had to rely on online platforms for buying their essential house items due to movement restrictions, impacted by emergency lockdowns. This resulted in a rapid surge in online sales, which led to the massive growth of e-commerce platforms. Moreover, government regulations encouraging consumers to use digital platforms to allow contactless and cashless payment in a view to curb the virus spread further boosts the market during the pandemic.
