internet users; For this statistic, two sets of metrics are displayed: "Share of respondents who used payment services [since 2025] / used mobile payments or online payments [up to 2024]" and "Share of total respondents"
Method of interview
Online survey
Supplementary notes
The question was phrased by the source as follows: "Which payment services have you used in the past 12 months? (multi-pick)". In all editions before 2025, the source asked two questions - which were discontinued in 2025: "Which online payment services have you used in the past 12 months? (multi-pick)" and "Which of these services have you used in the past 12 months to pay in stores, restaurants or other points of sale with your smartphone? (multi-pick)".
The countries provided are part of the extended questionnaire within ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ's Global Consumer Survey, meaning there are no other countries with this same information. More information on the methodology can be found here.
For countries/territories receiving the extended questionnaire, the Global Consumer Survey utilizes a rolling survey system with four survey waves per year: The most recent data set contains the interviews of the last 12 months. This ensures trend stability and a higher number of interviews available for analysis, allowing you to adequately analyze smaller target groups, media, and brands.

Quarterly Apple Pay penetration, online or offline, in China 2018-2026
Apple Pay usage in China was lower in early 2026 than a year earlier, indicating a declining usage among consumers over time. Among respondents who had used mobile or online payment services in the past 12 months, around ** percent said they had used Apple Pay over the course of the year. However, this translated to less than percent when measured against the total respondent base, including non-users of mobile or online payments. The data come from ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æâ€™s Consumer ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ and reflect the share of respondents who said they had used Apple Pay in the past 12 months. Up to 2024, this metric was derived from two separate questions that distinguished between Apple Pay use for online payments and for in-store, restaurant, or other point-of-sale transactions made with a smartphone. From 2025 onward, the survey switched to a single question on payment services used in the past 12 months, without separating online and in-store use. As a result, figures from 2025 represent overall Apple Pay usage, while earlier values may refer to channel-specific usage depending on the series shown.
