Overview
Mobile online purchasing, through apps or browsers, is surging to new heights, reaching $120 billion in 2015, having grown more than 60% from 2014. Mobile devices have become the growth engine for online retail payments as a whole, outpacing PC retail payments’ dollar growth 12 times over. Increasing smartphone saturation and consumers’ growing comfort making purchases through their phones are powering this wave of mobile commerce. Too many merchants, however, still offer experiences that are optimized for larger screens and that fail to meet consumers’ expectations for speedy checkout and payment options. This report examines how providers, recognizing mobile’s disruptive impact, are pioneering new tools like augmented reality to create the next generation of immersive shopping experiences. These merchants are poised to capture the attention of tomorrow’s mobile shoppers and tap into a mobile online retail payment market set to grow to nearly $320 billion by 2020.
