Juniper Research has released its report, Mobile Payments for Digital & Physical Goods: Players, Markets & Opportunities, 2010-2014. The study focuses on two major sectors within the mobile payments industry: digital goods payments for things such as a music track or mobile ticket; and physical goods payments, where payment is made for almost any consumer product, such as a book or DVD via the mobile internet or a mobile app.
The report includes forecasts for the number of digital mobile payments users over the next five years, along with digital mPayments traffic and transaction value. It also forecasts gross merchandise sales values for the total digital and physical goods market.
In addition, it examines a number of key drivers for the digital and physical goods payments market, including the trend in the developing world for money transfer providers to partner with digital and physical goods providers. The report also considers a number of constraints for the market, including an examination of the viral impact of poor user experience when using an mPayment service.
