The Paypers has launched The Global Overview of Payments Providers 2023 , the most recent market analysis of key payment providers in the B2B and B2C commerce payments ecosystem. The report examines key industry trends, investment patterns, mergers and acquisitions, and partnerships established in the past months, along with promising startups to watch.

It also features insightful perspectives on payment strategies that stakeholders should consider and comprehensive profiles of key players in this field, outlining their distinct capabilities and portfolios. The global ecommerce payments market – state of play The global market for ecommerce payments was estimated at USD 206.7 billion in 2022, and it is projected to reach a revised size of USD 612.1 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14.5% over the analysis period 2022-2030. In spite of this intimidating number, 2022 was the year in which previously rising trends have begun to be finetuned, more tailored to the market than ever.

After the decade debuted with a boom in ecommerce volume, and technology needed to keep up with demand, in 2022 payment enablers and merchants focused more on personalising experiences and technologies, paying close attention to specific verticals. Transaction security has been centre stage, and real-time payments have become a reality – with national real-time payments rails gaining traction all over the world, and FedNow being scheduled for launch in 2023. 2022 also marked a significant transformation for global economies, with notable shifts in consumer spending patterns due to inflation, supply chain disruptions, and higher interest rates.

Moreover, from B2B commerce to the meteoric rise of embedded finance, the market seems to have found a balance between offering a seamless customer experience and securing a viable liquidity runway amid talks of recession. Therefore, building resilience and hypercompetitive services has never been more current. This is the environment, both on a B2C and B2B level, where ecommerce and payments professionals have a duty to stay ahead of the curve.
