The M-Commerce Payment Market is valued at USD 16.4 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 33.9% to reach USD 226.6 billion by 2034.The M-commerce Payment Market refers to the ecosystem of mobile-based financial transactions that facilitate purchases made via smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices. It encompasses mobile wallets, QR code payments, in-app purchases, and near-field communication (NFC) technologies. As digital adoption accelerates globally, mobile commerce has emerged as a key driver of retail and service industry transformation. The rise of mobile-first users, coupled with increasing trust in contactless payments, is shifting the e-commerce landscape toward app-centric and frictionless transactions. This market plays a vital role in retail, travel, entertainment, food delivery, and peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers, offering convenience, speed, and personalization to consumers and scalability to businesses. The m-commerce payment market continued to grow rapidly, driven by expanding smartphone penetration and mobile internet usage in both developed and emerging markets. Retailers and fintech firms enhanced their mobile payment capabilities by integrating biometric authentication, AI-powered fraud detection, and personalized checkout experiences. Contactless payment surged in offline environments, especially among restaurants, public transport, and quick-service retailers. Super apps in Asia-Pacific and mobile banking expansion in Africa showcased the increasing versatility of m-commerce platforms. Additionally, digital wallets partnered with loyalty and rewards programs, creating new monetization models and improving customer retention. The market is expected to evolve toward more secure, decentralized, and intelligent payment experiences. Blockchain-based mobile transactions and tokenized credentials will play a greater role in ensuring payment integrity. Embedded finance, where banking and payment functions are natively built into non-financial mobile apps, will gain momentum. Augmented reality (AR) and voice commerce will further reshape user interactions. Regulatory frameworks across regions will standardize mobile payment security and interoperability. As the boundary between online and offline commerce continues to blur, businesses offering seamless, device-agnostic payment experiences will capture the most value in an increasingly mobile-driven economy.
