The growing adoption of digital payment methods is anticipated to drive the expansion of the payment security market. Digital payments provide a fast, secure, and convenient way to purchase goods and services. Consumer trust, along with concerns about fraud and security in digital payments, is crucial for the future usage of digital payment cards. Payment security measures are essential to prevent fraud and address payment-related concerns. As digital payment methods become more widely used, there will be a substantial demand for payment security solutions, which are vital for secure transaction processes. For example, in January 2024, the European Central Bank, a Germany-based central bank serving European Union countries, reported that the number of contactless card payments in the first half of 2023 rose by 24.3% from 20.9 billion in the same period in 2022, with the total value increasing by 25.9% to €0.5 trillion (approximately $545.27 billion). Thus, the growing adoption of digital payment methods is expected to propel the growth of the payment security market.
The surge in smartphone penetration is expected to be a driving force behind the growth of the payment security market. With smartphones being versatile handheld devices that integrate communication, computing, and various features, there is an increased demand for robust security measures to protect sensitive financial information. Payment security on smartphones involves deploying encryption, biometric authentication, and tokenization to ensure the security of financial data during transactions. For instance, the increased penetration of smartphones in the USA, with 307 million users reported by Zippia in March 2023, showcases the widespread use of these devices. This rise in smartphone adoption significantly contributes to the growth of the payment security market.
Technological advancement stands out as a prominent trend gaining traction in the payment security market, with Three-Domain Secure 2. 0 (3DS 2. 0) leading the way. As digital payments witness increasing adoption, technology is evolving to enhance transaction security in digitalized payment platforms. 3DS 2. 0 represents a significant leap in digital transaction security technology, providing an extra layer of fraud protection for online credit or debit card purchases. The technology leverages contextual data to detect and prevent fraud, creating an authentication pipeline among online merchants, payment networks, and financial institutions. Notably, PayU, a leading online payments solution provider, launched its 3D Secure 2. 0 SDK authentication service in February 2023. This service enhances tokenization capabilities, improving online payment security for both merchants and consumers.
Major companies in the payment security market are strategically forming partnerships to effectively manage risk.
