Why does the market matter?
- The global digital lending platform market is projected to reach a value of $27.1B by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 18.13%, according to Verified Market Research.
- Today, BNPL accounts for a small portion of the overall annual spending on payment cards (including credit, debit, and prepaid cards) — which currently sits around $8T. However, BNPL is at an inflection point. By 2025, the global BNPL industry is expected to grow 10–15x its current volume, topping $1T in annual gross merchandise volume by some estimates. This growth trajectory has incumbents paying close attention and increasing their efforts to improve the digital user experience.
- There have been major acquisitions in this space as well, such as Square acquiring AfterPay for $29B.
