In this year’s report
Digital wallets, account-to-account, buy now pay later and cryptocurrencies are changing the payments landscape, impacting what merchants need to do to support consumer preferences. These types of digital payments grew from just 3% of global in-person shopping value in 2014 to 38% in 2024; and increased online from 34% in 2014 to 66% in that time.
The sweep to digital payments is the overarching trend in the report, made more pronounced when looking with a wide lens at the last decade.
