Proximity mobile payment growth in Canada is stagnant, posing a challenge for providers. We expect them to counter this trend by boosting customer engagement rather than seeking out new users.
Slow adoption in the Canadian proximity mobile payment market is mainly due to a mature contactless card ecosystem and expensive mobile data. These conditions aren’t set to change in the next several years as customers largely remain locked into their payment habits.
To overcome stalling user growth, wallet providers are likely to adopt a strategy of increasing customer engagement by improving the user experience and targeting key demographics.
