This forecast, made exclusively available for ForecastView clients, sizes and forecasts the transaction value of mobile payments in the EU-7 countries and details the growth of mobile in-person payments, remote mobile commerce, and mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) payments. While cash continues to be the bedrock of consumer transactions in the EU-7, mobile payments will see a CAGR of almost 23% over the next five years.
