One of the key factors driving the growth of the mobile payment security industry is the increasing frequency of data breaches. As the number of data breaches rises, so makes the amount of money lost as a result of them. As a result, the demand for mobile payment security solutions is increasing.

The analysts found that increasing sales of mobile payment security solutions can also be related to the rising needs of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) rules, increased end-user knowledge of mobile payment security, and government attempts to promote cashless payment.

Furthermore, the demand for mobile payment security solutions is predicted to grow due to recent technology advancements in mobile commerce. This factor has enabled consumers to undertake digital transactions such as purchasing goods and applications through wireless networks, redeeming coupons and tickets, banking, and completing point-of-sale payments from their smartphones.

The research also notes that the expanding use of wireless networks among individual consumers has boosted the sales of mobile payment security solutions. Mobile payment security has become more important as the use of wireless networks in mobile devices for payment in retail outlets has expanded.

Researchers predict that the mobile payment security market is likely to rise significantly as a result of the recent outbreak of Covid-19, owing to the growing use of digital payment services. However, the mobile payment security market’s expansion is being hampered by a lack of trust in online banking.

Increased demand for mobile payment security solutions for digital e-commerce and increased use of payment applications across various business verticals, on the other hand suggest the researchers, is likely to provide lucrative opportunities for mobile payment security market expansion throughout the forecast period.
