What Are The Main Market Drivers Shaping The Progression Of The Mobile Proximity Payments Market?
The increasing adoption of smartphones is expected to propel the growth of the mobile proximity payments market going forward. Smartphones refer to portable electronic devices that combine mobile telephone functions with computing capabilities, enabling users to perform a wide range of digital activities, including payments. The growth of smartphone adoption is largely driven by the expanding digital infrastructure in developing and semi-urban regions, where affordable internet and budget devices are making smartphones more accessible to previously untapped populations. Smartphones use proximity sensors to detect nearby objects and turn off the screen during calls to save power and prevent accidental touches. For instance, in February 2023, according to the GSM Association (GSMA), a UK-based industry organization that represents the interests of mobile network operators and companies, smartphone penetration in sub-Saharan Africa is projected to rise significantly, reaching 87% by 2030, up from 51% in 2022, reflecting rapid digital adoption across the region. Therefore, the increasing adoption of smartphones is driving the growth of the mobile proximity payments market.
