Ecommerce is projected to keep growing, as a rising number of consumers are using online platforms to shop instead of visiting retail stores. This trend was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Mobile commerce (m-commerce) is growing at a rapid rate and is especially popular among millennials and Gen Z consumers. It is projected to account for 50% of eCommerce by 2021 and will eventually become the main way consumers shop online. Furthermore, the online payments industry is fragmented due to the sheer number of participants involved in payment transactions and also due to the large number of payment options available to consumers.
