A recent study, conducted by the strategic consulting and market research firm BlueWeave Consulting, revealed that the India mobile wallet market was worth USD 30.1 billion in 2020. According to the study, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 46.3%, earning revenue of around USD 429.2 billion by the end of 2027. India mobile wallet market is flourishing at a high rate because of the increasing number of smartphone users and growing awareness among consumers regarding the convenient payment options through mobile wallets. In addition, merchants are adopting mobile wallets at a rapid pace due to the lower set-up infrastructure and transaction fees compared to traditional card-based payment systems. However, poor internet connectivity and limited internet accessibility as well as risks associated with cybersecurity may severely hamper the market's growth.
Flourishing E-Commerce Sector Propelling the India Mobile Wallet Market Growth
The flourishing e-commerce sector is among the major driving factors for the India mobile wallet market. Once a user pays on a shopping site for the first time, mobile wallets save his or her data automatically and enable one-tap payments in the future. This makes it convenient for the customers to make payments without any hassle. Additionally, several e-commerce websites partner with mobile wallet platforms to offer attractive deals and discounts, which are projected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
Market growth will be driven by the increasing number of smartphone owners & internet users
According to the IAMAI-Kantar ICUBE 2020 report, the number of active internet users in India is projected to surge from 622 million in 2020 to 900 million by 2025, with groundbreaking growth of 45%. The report also revealed that there will be more internet users in rural India than in urban India by 2025, declining the rural-urban gap of internet access. Likewise, according to a data released in 2019 by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), India's telecom regulator, the country's mobile phone subscriber base exceeds one billion. Thus, with increasing internet accessibility and the number of smartphones in the country, the India mobile wallet market is also anticipated to surge in the upcoming years.

Thus, many previously unwilling citizens began using mobile wallets during the pandemic. The market also witnessed a sharp surge due to the high dependence on e-commerce platforms during the COVID-19 period. A rise in the number of smartphones due to work-from-home and online schooling scenarios is also expected to influence the growth of the India mobile wallet market in the forecast period.
