This report has been compiled using a mixture of primary and secondary data sources.
Primary refers to our own surveys and commissioned research; whereas secondary
refers to authoritative third-party vendor data, and other publicly available data.
The report also draws upon Worldpay’s decades of experience in providing global
eCommerce solutions. The eCommerce projected growthgures contained in this
report were sourced from
GlobalData’s E-Commerce Analytics
database and relate to
the eCommerce industry as a whole, not Worldpay’s business. GlobalData collected
this data using consumer surveys, B2B surveys and desk research. Any indicative
predictions based on the data we have used should be treated as such.
It’s also worth noting that this year Charge and Deferred Debit Card was broken out as
its own category for therst time. Previously those payment methods were included
in the Debit Card share, so in markets where Charge and Deferred Debit exists,
Debit Card is likely to have declined in share from last year. Also, the Card Scheme
Breakdowngures are representative of total payments and are not exclusive to
eCommerce. Due to changes to the way data is collected by our provider (GlobalData),
some baseline eCommerce projected growthgures may be di erent from last
year’s edition.32
The report is intended to provide a useful at-a-glance snapshot of the current
eCommerce payment situation in selected countries, as well as highlighting scenarios
and trends over the nextve years. It’s important to note that all predictions and
conclusions are indicative only, based on current data. They’re naturally subject to
changes in world events and market dynamics over the period concerned (to 2021).
As well as the primary and secondary sources mentioned above, sources used for this
report also include speci c organisations and publications such as:
Local card, banking and/or payments associations
Card scheme and payment providers
eCommerce industry reports and studies
Other payments, surveys and reports
Third-party news articles
International organisations such as World Bank and IMF
