Ericsson further predicts that emerging markets, including the Asia Pacific, will account for 80 percent of overall new subscriptions in the coming years. However, the emergence of smartphones has dramatically changed the way people use internet, making it a one-stop solution for all the needs, including financial transactions. Somewhere around four years back, Ericsson also claimed that mobile data usage would observe tenfold growth by 2020, and Asia Pacific would contribute to around 45% of that growth. It does not come as a surprise therefore, that Asia Pacific mobile wallet market share is on a steady rise of late.
Apart from the abovementioned factors, some government initiatives and reforms have also had a significant impact on the remuneration graph of the mobile wallet market over the last few years. A classic example for the same includes India’s demonetization of INR 500 and INR 1000 notes, which amplified the adoption of cashless payments by leaps and bounds in the nation.
Powered by an array of factors such as affordable smartphones, emerging middle-class, high network speeds, and decline in mobile data costs the Asia Pacific has established itself as a mobile-first region. Considering the increasing popularity of mobile wallets, market players are also integrating newer features and services for mobile payments, which indicates mobile wallets would continue to become more ubiquitous in the Asia Pacific marketplace.
