What Are the Drivers Transforming the Mobile Proximity Payments Market?
The momentum in the growth of the mobile proximity payments market is expected to be maintained, spurred largely by heightened smartphone usage. Smartphones, which couple the functionalities of a mobile phone and a computer, enable users to conduct a vast array of digital transactions inclusive of payments. High-speed internet and budget-friendly devices are increasingly available in developing and semi-urban areas, causing a surge in smartphone usage among previously unreachable demographics. The smartphones employ proximity sensors to identify nearby objects and shut down the screen during calls to conserve energy and avert unintentional touches. As an example, the GSM Association (GSMA), a UK-based organization that advocates for the interests of mobile network operators and companies, reported in February 2023 that smartphone penetration in sub-Saharan Africa is foreseen to climb notably, achieving 87% by 2030 compared to 51% in 2022, a clear demonstration of the rapid rate of digital adoption in that region. Consequently, the upswing in smartphone usage is vital to the expansion of the mobile proximity payments market.

What Long-Term Trends Will Define the Future of the Mobile Proximity Payments Market?
The mobile proximity payment market is witnessing a trend of leading companies prioritizing the introduction of innovative solutions like contactless payment options. The use of such solutions facilitates the early detection of fraudulent activities, enhances operational efficiency, and allows optimal resource distribution across different payment environments. These contactless payment solutions are advanced tools and strategies that employ data-driven methods to focus on fraud detection and operational supervision in correlation with the risk associated with specific transaction modes, user patterns, or merchant classifications. For example, in June 2024, the UK-based wearable pay tech company, Much Better, rolled out a state-of-the-art contactless payment ring service as part of its Much Better ADD suite. This service was intentionally designed to make everyday transaction processes easier, safer, and more approachable for consumers. The Much Better contactless ceramic ring employs a unique IoT platform to convert commonplace wearable gadgets into secure, token-based payment and identification devices. The customers obtain the ring free of charge by loading funds into it through the Much Better digital wallet application, thereby posing a direct challenge to the standard retail prices for comparable wearable payment products.
