Dublin, Oct. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Payment Systems in the UK - Industry Market Research Report" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Payment Systems industry's revenue is slated to climb at a compound annual rate of 6.6% over the five years through 2024-25 to reach £9.7 billion. The industry has enjoyed a sizable growth spurt, mostly thanks to tech-friendly consumer behaviour pushing digital and contactless payments into the limelight. The notable slump in cold, hard cash has left more room for plastic counterparts in our wallets and pockets. The industry's transaction volumes have boomed as contactless payment technology has become a staple in our shopping routines, giving industry revenue a notable lift.
Trends and Insights
- Climbing card payments and growing e-commerce drive revenue growth: The declining use of cash, bolstered by the convenience of contactless payments, and soaring online shopping are propelling card usage, driving payment systems' revenue up.
- More pension payments fuel BACS growth: Automatic pension enrolment has hiked the number of pension payments being made through the system, but growth is slowing now that the automatic enrolment rollout has ended.
- London's talent pool draws in payment systems: The city's vast tech and finance sectors create a workforce adept in computer science and finance - both are key in this industry.
- Technical expertise is paramount to staying competitive: It can bolster security and enhance system efficiency, giving companies an edge in a fiercely contested market.
- More card payments mean higher revenue: According to UK Finance, card payments outnumbered cash payments for the first time in 2017. The sustained downturn in cash usage since then has benefitted the industry in terms of transaction volumes and revenue.
- Payment system providers reap the rewards of resilient demand for payment services: The critical role of payment systems in the UK's economy means that demand for payment systems will remain strong in the years to come
- Bankers' Automated Clearing Services (BACS) grow with the increase in pension payments: The BACS payment system enables efficient money transfers between bank accounts, benefitting both businesses and individuals. . In 2018, BACS (the company responsible for operating the BACS system) became a subsidiary of PAY.UK.
