Apple Pay to Account for 1 in 2 OEM Pay Users Globally by 2020 [Report]

The mobile contactless payments market will be driven by Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Google Pay, and other OEM Pay wallets for the next few years, according to a report from Juniper Research.

OEM Pay wallet users are expected to reach 450 million by 2020 with Apple accounting for 1 in 2 OEM Pay users.

Research author Nitin Bhas explained: “We believe that growth over the next 5 years will continue to be dominated by offerings from the major OEM players. Additionally, we now have the likes of Huawei Pay and Fitbit Pay launching in several markets; this is now included in Juniper’s contactless forecasts”.


Juniper forecasts that OEM Pay wallet users will process over $300 billion in transactions by 2020, about 15% of total contactless in-store transactions. Juniper also forecasts rapid growth in contactless tickets, with nearly 10 billion mobile contactless ticketing transactions by 2020.
