Mobile and Alternative Payments in Canada

NEW YORK, Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: Mobile and Alternative Payments in Canada http://www.reportlinker.com/p01080631/Mobile-and-Alternative-Payments-in-Canada.


html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Payment_Processing Mobile payments are gaining a foothold in Canada: Of an estimated 22 million Canadian adult mobile phone users, some 17% have made a mobile payment in past 12 months, according to Packaged Facts' survey results. But in this very nascent-stage market, the issue comes down to the method of payment. Despite Canada's solid contactless point-of-sale base, we see significant challenges for NFC-based mobile payments. However, mobile P2P has already taken hold, and we expect mobile P2P to continue to lead Canadian mobile payments growth, thanks in large part to PayPal and Zoompass, already popular P2P methods straddling online and mobile payments. While QR code awareness is low, our consumer survey results suggest that mobile payers are twice as likely to use a barcode scanning apps during the next 12 months than during the last 12 months. And with Starbucks' Canadian rollout of its barcode scan-based mobile payment application, usage--and interest--could rise.

Packaged Facts expects Canadian E-Wallet and electronic P2P payments to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 62% during 2012-2015, on the heels of recent and expected mobile payments launches and subsequent consumer uptake.
