Mobile payments have the opportunity to swell the ranks of online shoppers around the whole world as more and more fast-growth economies are looking to expand cashless societies. Usage of alternative payment methods is growing not only as a response to consumer demand but also as a government prerequisite.

As a result of the substantial adoption growth in recent years in mature markets, GlobalWebIndex conducted an in-depth study takes a close look at how mobile payment technologies differ across the world, comparing local services with global brand offerings, and digging into key mobile payment, mobile commerce, and consumer trends.
