The basic properties of mobile, such as personalization, mobility, and prevalence, demonstrate the m-commerce market's enormous potential, tremendous fruitfulness, and high profitability.

Due to the obvious massive move toward smartphones, customers increasingly use mobile phones or computers for online monetary transactions.

The people are involved more in online shopping due to comparative pricing,  website availability, low pricing & discount offers, time-saving, no crowd, and safe payment.

Insight by Payment Modes

Based on the payment modes segment, the Near-field Communication (NFC) segment is expected to be the most significant revenue contributor in the global m-commerce market in 2021 and is expected to retain its dominance in the foreseen period. It's nothing new to have NFC chips embedded in credit cards for contactless payments.

However, the customer’s smartphone can digitize their entire wallet, a more current and admittedly more appealing use case for NFC. Almost every mobile OS manufacturer offers its app with unique NFC features. Android users have the broadest range of options. To begin, users in the United States can download Google Wallet, allowing individuals to access payment facilities through contactless payments.

Samsung Pay, which works similarly, will be available this summer for its owners in the United States and Korea. Looking ahead, it's likely that NFC chips will eventually be adopted to replace all individuals' cards in their wallets. That means that the unique information on their frequent shopper loyalty cards, business cards, and other similar items can be stored and communicated using NFC.

Geographic Overview

North America had the largest revenue share in 2021. In comparison to other areas, the United States has a higher acceptance rate of new emerging technologies, which is expected to promote market growth. Due to substantial funding and investments, major firms such as MasterCard, Google, and many more are headquartered in the North American region, which is expected to fuel the m-commerce business.

Amazon, headquartered in the U.S., combined its m-commerce and e-commerce businesses. This could increase mobile conversions by providing a better customer experience than a company's mobile site. The adoption of new business tactics by big firms is expected to open up a plethora of prospects for the m-commerce market.

Moreover, Asia Pacific is expected to witness a high CAGR in the global market in 2021. The Asia-Pacific market for IT and semiconductors is well-known. The region already boasts the world's most mobile phone users (China and India) and some of the world's fastest network providers (Japan and South Korea). As a result, it is safe to predict that the region will have the fastest m-commerce growth rate in the future years. Furthermore, Alibaba and other such behemoths are projected to boost market growth significantly. Digital wallets are expected to boost the m-commerce market growth in app-based purchases considerably.
