Online Consumer Payments: Sizing the Opportunity
Summary
This report examines the online consumer payments market in 28 global markets, considering the overall market size and its development, as well as the importance of mobile devices as opposed to desktop and laptop computers.

Online consumer payments remain the biggest growth market in payments, and will continue growing strongly as more consumers gain access to the internet and to tools that can be used online.
