Research forecasts the total value of worldwide mobile payment transactions will be $721 billion by 2017. – Gartner. The integration and development of these mobile wallets is growing fast organically with investment from wireless carriers, financial institutions, venture capitalists, retailer and software developer’s all looking to capture a niche in the market.
Yet the industry is grappling with ways to engage the consumer with a holistic shopping experience stemming from a strong value proposition offering loyalty benefits, secure payments, and streamlined shopping both online and offline.
Mobile Wallet Wars Project Director Shreya Ganapathy stated, “Despite the entire buzz surrounding mobile wallet connectivity, no one yet has the title of master of the digital wallet with high consumer adoption. The space is wide open." She continued, “2014 is the year in which the mobile payments ecosystem will embrace key breakthroughs to build consumer adoption using innovative tech and secure data driven business models to engage the connected consumer.”
