WHY DOES THE MARKET MATTER?
- The fintech market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 23.41% to reach a value of $324B by 2026, according to Market Data Forecast.
- Today, BNPL reflects a small portion of the overall spending on payment cards (including credit, debit, and prepaid cards), an industry that sees roughly $8T in annual spend volume in the US. However, there is growing evidence that 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.
