Developments in the Mobile Payments Market

NEW YORK, September 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

According to a research report by eMarketer, mobile payments in the U.S are growing at a rapid pace. The report estimates the value of US proximity mobile payment transactions will total $49.29 billion in 2017 or up 78.1% from last year. The growth rate of online payments market is projected to remain in double digits through the forecast period of 2021, at which point it will slow down to 23.9%. That year, eMarketer estimates that US consumers will use their mobile phones to pay for $189.97 billion worth of goods and services at a physical point of sale (POS). Glance Technologies Inc (OTC: GLNNF), PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL), Square, Inc. (NYSE: SQ), Verifone Systems Inc. (NYSE: PAY), Total System Services, Inc. (NYSE: TSS).

The report indicates that Americans are not likely to use their phones to pay for expensive items. eMarketer claims that new data shows that US consumers are using their phones at the POS to pay for coffee, fast food and other low-value, high-frequency purchases at a growing rate. "The average annual spend per proximity mobile payment user in the US will reach $1,026 in 2017, surpassing $1,000 for the first time. That figure will continue to grow through 2021, when it will reach $2,646," according to eMarketer.

"Our US expansion is key to our strategy of signing large North American restaurant chains," says Glance CEO, Desmond Griffin. "Silicon Valley is an ideal location for us to access the world's premier high tech ecosystem as we continue to develop our technology."
