Rising Online Transactions to Drive Market Growth
The growth of the online transactions market across the globe has been dramatically rapid due to ever-increasing adoption of e-commerce, mobile banking, and digital payment platforms, thereby increasing the danger of fraud in online payment significantly. With more consumers shopping digitally, the various online modes for payments, including credit cards and mobile wallets, are increasingly being used, and fraudsters exploit the weakness of such systems to steal and carry out unauthorized transactions. This increases fraudulent activities, hence, companies have the need to invest in advanced fraud detection solutions to protect customers and trust in the digital marketplace. By using some of the latest technologies, such as artificial intelligence machine learning, and behavioral analytics, companies take advantage of it. These technologies enable them to monitor some suspicious patterns in millions of transactions quickly and thereby enhance the accuracy and efficiency of fraud detection systems.
For example, as reported by the Government of India, total digital payment transactions volume increased from 20.71 billion in FY2017-FY2018 to 134.62 billion in FY2022-FY2023 at a CAGR of 45%. During the current FY2023-2024, digital payments transactions have reached 116.60 crores till 11th December 2023. This shows how digital transactions continue to rise.
Government Initiatives to Act as a Market Catalyst
Governments worldwide are imposing strict regulations to fight online fraud through payments and protect the rights of consumers. To this end, businesses must include strong fraud-detection measures to protect sensitive customer information besides loss mitigation. Failure to comply with such requirements may lead to heavy fines and damage to reputation, and hence the need for compliance that organizations should take quite seriously. Effective compliance with such regulations for online transactions is highly critical to the evolving nature of the online transaction landscape. Several measures, such as Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Directives by the European Union, PCI DSS, and Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), are done to maintain the order.
For instance, in October 2024, Bhutan Computer Incident Response Team (BtCIRT) launched the National Cybersecurity Strategy 2024-2029, during the National Cybersecurity Conference 2024. The Strategy aims to protect cyberspace and combat various aspects of cybersecurity risks and threats that could adversely affect people, businesses, and the government. In nine years, Bhutan Computer Incident Response Team (BtCIRT) under GovTech has handled over 1,388 cybersecurity threats and attacks, with 204 incidents in 2024.
