Average Online Customer Spend to Exceed $1,000 Globally per Annum by 2024
BASINGSTOKE, England, Sept 17 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- New data from Juniper Research has shown that the total transaction value of remote payments for digital and physical goods will exceed $6 trillion by 2024; representing a growth of 53% from 2019.
The new research, Mobile & Online Remote Payments for Digital & Physical Goods: Opportunities, Pain Points & Competition 2019-2024, revealed that online sales will be dominated by physical goods; forecast to account for almost 80% of online retail purchases by 2024. It urged traditional retailers to offer omnichannel offerings to ensure services align with ever-increasing consumer expectations.
‘Mobile First’ Consumers Changing the Payments Equation
Remote payments will be driven by purchases made via mobile devices, with the number of smartphone buyers increasing by nearly 60% between 2019 and 2024. Consequently, just 21% of purchases will be made using PCs, laptops and connected TVs globally by 2024.
The shift to mobile has impacted purchasing behaviour, with the average value of transactions expected to decline by 2024. Underpinning this growth, and change in average transaction values, is the adoption of mobile ticketing - which is becoming increasingly remote and cashless.
