Real-Time Payments Market Analysis

Payment Type Segment Analysis

The person-to-business (P2B) segment of the market is anticipated to hold the largest revenue share of 40% by the end of 2035. The growth is driven by the expansion of e-commerce and burgeoning sales of retail e-commerce. An increased preference, among consumers, for speed and convenience when making payments, is boosting demand for instant payment solutions. Companies are incorporating real-time payments to better manage their cash flows, shorten payment cycles, and improve customers' experience. The development in the services of digital wallets and mobile payments has also contributed to the rise of P2B. Even as more retail and service providers begin offering instant payment functions, the share of consumers utilizing instant payments will continue to grow; consumers are bound to get used to better spending from improved investment in payment infrastructure and improved confidence in digital payments.

Deployment Mode Segment Analysis

The cloud segment is likely to account for a major revenue share in the market led by scalability and cost efficiency. Payment solutions that are securely delivered in the cloud create the capacity for businesses to scale their operation up or down based on demand. This is especially critical when businesses offer real-time payments to merchants, which must be highly performant and be able to efficiently process a large volume of transactions. Furthermore, cloud services tend to have lower upfront capital and ongoing maintenance costs by having a subscription and pay-as-you-go model. The cloud also enables businesses to deploy new features and updates more frequently because of its inherent nature of enhancing innovation and improved security.
