2016: Key Trends in Consumer Payments - New Market Research Report

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Wed Apr 20 2016


The increased levels of innovation and interconnectivity in banking and payments have resulted in an ever-expanding range of transactional possibilities, and are notably triggering a rewiring of the entire commerce experience. Several trends will drive developments in consumer payments in 2016, including increased competition in the mobile wallets space, the rise of social commerce, and the issuance of more explicit rules and guidelines for online and mobile payment security. Payment providers will have to react by enhancing their propositions, keeping abreast of new standards, and exploring the opportunities social commerce presents.

Key Findings

* Strong emphasis will be placed on positioning mobile wallets as a mainstream alternative to cash and cards, with building merchant acceptance levels a top priority in the near term. Registration incentives, and usage rewards will be commonly used tactics to drive consumer uptake within the space.
* Regulators and industry standard-setting bodies will issue more explicit rules and guidelines for online and mobile payment security. The sharing of cyber security threat data between the government and businesses will form a crucial part of fraud prevention strategies going forward.
* Social media commerce will evolve from a concept to a reality over the next few years. 2016 will be a critical turning point for the space as it goes through the 'proof-of-concept' stage. Social media providers will ramp up their efforts to host a more streamlined and targeted shopping experience for both online and real world transactions.
