The growing acceptance of online banking, mobile banking, and e-commerce among consumers is anticipated to propel the growth of the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) payment market in the foreseeable future. Online banking provides users with a one-click solution for various banking tasks, including money transfers, access to transactional data, and other financial activities, either through secure websites or mobile applications. The adoption of online banking and mobile banking, fueled by their advanced and convenient features, is contributing to the expansion of the P2P payments market. For example, a recent global survey conducted by Finder Row Pty Ltd., an Australia-based proprietary company, in April 2022, revealed that 26% of respondents in India already have a digital bank account, and an additional 13% plan to open one within the next year, bringing the overall percentage to 39%. The survey anticipates a further increase, reaching 46% by the end of 2027. Consequently, the increasing acceptance of online banking, mobile banking, and e-commerce by consumers is a key driver fueling the demand for the growth of the P2P payment market.

The anticipated increase in cyber threats is set to drive the growth of the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) payment market in the foreseeable future.

P2P payment platforms, involving the exchange of sensitive financial information between users, are susceptible to cyber threats, with cybercriminals exploiting this information for identity theft, financial fraud, and other malicious activities. As of February 2023, data from the Australian Cyber Security Centre, an Australia-based cybersecurity agency, revealed a significant uptick in cybercrime reports, reaching 76,000 in 2022, reflecting a 13% increase from the previous year. Consequently, the escalating cyber threats emerge as a key driver propelling the growth of the P2P payment market.
