The global QR code payment market size is estimated to reach USD 61.73 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 20.0% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.

An increasing number of smartphone and internet users and rising demand for smart alternatives to traditional payment methods such as bank cards or cash is boosting the QR code payments industry’s growth.For instance, as per the Groupe Speciale Mobile Association’s (GSMA) The State of Mobile Internet Connectivity Report 2021, by the end of 2020, 51% of the population across the world, or more than 4 billion individuals, were using mobile internet, a rise of 225 million since the end of 2019. In addition, worldwide, smartphones held 68% of entire mobile connections in 2020, compared to 64% in 2019 and 47% in 2016.

The volumes of digital payment transactions were already witnessing a rise owing to the growth of e-commerce. Furthermore, the increasing government initiatives to digitize payments are further expected to create market growth opportunities. For instance, in August 2020, the government of Andhra Pradesh, India, launched an initiative to drive financial inclusion and promote digital payments in rural areas to encourage and allow citizens to make and receive cashless payments using QR codes.

Furthermore, COVID-19 has brought numerous changes in the payments industry, including the adoption of mobile payment solutions. The demand for QR code payment solutions has increased post-COVID-19 as these solutions help prevent direct contact with any external system like the Point of Sale (POS) of the retailer. In addition, rapid growth in the e-commerce sector during the COVID-19 period also increased the demand for QR code mobile payments.
