Mobile Commerce and Payments

Market Drivers for SMS, Mobile Internet, and Mobile Applications



While discussed for years, mobile payments have been slow to grow significantly. ABI Research believes this is due to systemic issues with NFC and because of a lack of focus on practical consumer use cases. In what instances would mobile payments make sense, compared to the ways in which consumers pay today?

This study examines several emerging markets in which consumers are or will be using their mobile devices to purchase goods or services using SMS and mobile Internet. It highlights important players within the space, suggests who should play and who will benefit, and outlines what MNOs, merchants, and financial services providers can do to take advantage of these opportunities. The report includes forecasts for mobile Internet shopping, parking, movie tickets and taxis.
