Increasing Smartphone Penetration in India to Drive Market Growth

India's increasing smartphone penetration has been a significant driver of growth for the fintech market. India has over 700 million smartphone users, including 425 million in rural areas, as of January 2023. It has created a massive opportunity for fintech companies to leverage mobile technology to offer innovative financial products and services. Mobile banking, digital wallets, online lending, and investment services are some of the ways that increase smartphone penetration, driving the growth of the fintech market in India. Moreover, comprehensive growth in the distribution network of smartphone companies has made smartphone devices easily available for end-users. For example, Samsung and MI are major mobile phone brands in rural India, owing to their pan-India distribution channel, making online payments accessible to the rural population via their mobile phones. Moreover, the increase in the use of smartphones and the expansion in faster connectivity have enabled retailers and customers to receive and make payments through their smartphones leading to growth in the fintech market.

Rising Demand for Digital Payments

With the government actively promoting a cashless economy, there has been a surge in demand for digital payment solutions such as mobile wallets, payment gateways, and online payment platforms. Retail digital payments in India grew from 162 crore transactions in FY2012-13 to over 14,726 crore transactions in 2023-24. The rise in digital payments and wallets was triggered after demonetization and continues to operate the payment landscape in the country. Companies are leveraging this trend by offering innovative digital payment solutions that are faster, more convenient, and more secure than traditional payment methods. Mobile wallets have become increasingly popular in India, with companies such as Paytm, PhonePe, and Google Pay gaining millions of users in recent years. August 2023 recorded the highest-ever volume of UPI transactions at 10.58 billion. In addition to mobile wallets, there has been a significant increase in demand for online payment platforms and payment gateways as well.

Cloud Revolution in Indian Fintech

The fintech industry in India is expanding quickly, especially in the realm of cloud-based services. Companies in this sector are turning towards cloud technology to boost their security, scalability, and overall efficiency.
