Value of cards and alternative payments in B2C worldwide 2022, with a 2027 forecast
Alternative payment methods are expected to grow with a CAGR over ** percent between 2022 and 2027, a faster growth than payments performed with cards. Credit and debit cards are set to remain the biggest digital payment method within both point-of-sale (POS) and e-commerce, but growth is set to slow down, especially in an offline environment. Alternative payment methods — or APMs, as the source calls them — can be any form of noncash payment that does not involve a credit or debit card. This can include mobile wallets but also buy now, pay later, or payments performed with cryptocurrency or stablecoins. It is a broad category that can include many payment technologies.
