According to data presented by BuyShares.co.uk, the European digital payments industry is set to maintain its growth in the following years, with the transaction value jumping over $1trn by 2022.

The Rise of the Mobile POS Payments

The global digital payments industry has seen many innovations in the last few years, including real-time payments, mobile wallets, and P2P mobile payments. These simple-to-use, cashless payment methods have drawn many users and led to online payments' impressive growth.

In 2017, the European digital payments industry reached $507.1bn transaction value, revealed the Statista Global Consumer Survey. In the next two years, this figure rose to $666.8bn. The increasing trend continued this year, with millions of people choosing webshops instead of brick and mortar stores amid COVID-19 lockdown. Statistics show the total transaction value of the European digital payments market is set to reach $708.4bn in 2020, almost 40% jump in three years.

Statista data indicate the following years are expected to witness a surge of the cashless payments in Europe, with the transaction value rising over $1.5trn by 2024.

Digital commerce represents the largest segment of the market, with more than $545bn transaction value in 2020. However, statistics show the following years are set to witness an impressive growth of the European mobile POS segment, with transactions reaching nearly $407bn value by 2022, a 150% jump in two years. By the end of 2024, the European mobile payments are expected to surge by 398% and hit $798.3bn transaction value.

The average transaction value in the mobile POS payments segment is also forecast to witness impressive growth in the following years, with the figure rising from $1,590.67 in 2020 to $4,765.11 in 2024.

In 2020, the UK digital payments market is expected to reach $164.4bn value. By the end of 2024, this figure is set to rise to $366bn, a 122% jump in four years.
