More about the Report

India’s digital payments landscape has witnessed phenomenal growth over the past five years. As per the report, India’s digital payments market is at an inflection point and is expected to increase more than threefold from the current US$3 trillion to US$10 trillion by 2026. As a result of this unprecedented growth, digital payments (non-cash) will constitute 2 out of 3 payment transactions by 2026.

The report also talks about how the digital payments ecosystem has been positively disrupted by the entry of multiple new players with diverse offerings driving digital payments adoption at scale. Leading global and Indian fintech players have been key drivers of UPI adoption in India among end users, aided by the buildout of a large QR-code-based merchant acceptance network, and further supported by user-friendly interfaces, innovative offerings, and an open API ecosystem.

  1. Simplified customer onboarding
  2. Continued push for consumer awareness
  3. Expanding merchant acceptance
  4. Merchants getting greater access to credit
  5. Infrastructure upgrades and the setting up of a financial services marketplace driving growth in underpenetrated regions.
  6. It also talks about how IoT, 5G & CBDC will provide further impetus to growth.
