Global Digital Wallets Market: Insights for 2024


The digital wallets market has experienced rapid growth in recent years, driven by the increasing consumer demand for convenience and security, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of contactless payments.
As we discuss in our latest research, modern digital wallets encompass a variety of use cases, such as payments, identity, and ticketing, with diverse implementations across different platforms and devices. However, payment use cases provide the most significant revenue opportunities for stakeholders. In developed markets, using digital wallets for storing event or travel tickets is relatively common, particularly through OEM wallets. However, monetising non-payment wallet functionalities remains challenging, which is why most dedicated digital wallets are designed primarily for payment transactions, often generating revenue via transaction fees charged to merchants or users.
As the market continues to evolve, emerging trends such as Open Banking and the integration of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) services are set to enhance the capabilities of digital wallets further. These innovations allow wallet providers to offer more flexible payment options and tap into new revenue streams, thereby attracting a broader user base. By embracing these trends, digital wallets can solidify their position in the financial ecosystem, catering to the diverse needs of consumers while driving ongoing growth in the sector.
