Market Report I 2022-06-01 I 100 Pages I Mordor Intelligence

The India payments market is expected to register a CAGR of 11.4% during the period of 2022-2027. The primary factor driving the growth of the market in the region is the rising adoption of digital payments supported by government initiatives and strong growth in E-commerce, among others.

Various initiatives by the Government of India, such as digital India, are further driving the adoption of digital wallets and digital payments in the region. Also, as per Union Budget 2022-23, to boost India's digital economy, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will be launching the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) as India's official digital Rupee which is further expected to strengthen the Indian payments market.

Banks are now more focused on providing integrated solutions for payment solutions to their consumers. Digital payments systems have evolved from being viewed as a cost center for banks to a revenue center and a key parameter for customer acquisition. Many banks in the region have introduced their own digital payment app to gain more customer acquisition, such as BHIM Axis Pay, Yono by SBI, HDFC PayzApp, Pockets By ICICI Bank, etc.
However, failed transactions are increasing with the rising number of transactions and technical declines in the region. The rise in UPI payment transactions also tests the banking infrastructure and technological systems, which are not adequately equipped to handle the surge in volumes.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, India has seen lockdowns across the country and cash payments declined during this period. However, even before the pandemic, the country was moving towards a cash-free society, and the pandemic further proliferated the move. Digital payments, app-based payments, and real-time payments grew in the region to avoid the physical contact spread of the virus during the outbreak.

Real-Time Payment Systems segment are expected to gain significant traction


UPI has proven to make the lives of many Indian users much easier. UPI is a popular real-time payment method that allows users to transfer funds from one bank account to the other instantly. There are several benefits associated with the UPI payments system, such as hassle-free online payments anywhere, a safe and secure mode of money transfer, and Users can make payments by scanning QR codes. These factors resulted in the dramatic rise of the UPI payments system as a preferred payment system in India.
Some unique aspects of UPI payment include decoupling the funding source's payment address, further growing its adoption among Indian consumers. A UPI ID relates a merchant or an individual to their bank account and removes the need to share bank account details while initiating a fund transfer. Users can easily reassign the payment address to another bank account at any time without the hassle of informing their transacting parties, and thus UPI redefines customer relationships with banks.

For example, Google Pay or Amazon Pay in India can instantly initiate a fund transfer request to and from any UPI participating bank. However, the scenario is different for fund transfers in other countries. This openness has made India's payment system a favorite destination for some of the largest technology companies in the world.
Furthermore, the UPI payment system is further increasing mobile payments by becoming a single user interface for all of an individual's bank accounts, eliminating the need to download multiple banking apps. Most banks and non-banks have adopted the UPI payment system. For instance, as per NPCI data, the number of banks that were live on UPI increased from 220 in April 2021 to 316 in April 2022.
