Research and Markets: Global Mobile Retail Payment Initiatives 2013

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Mobile Retail Payment Initiatives 2013" report to their offering.

Mobile retail payments based on Near Field Communication (NFC) technology are probably this year's most talked about topic in both the payments industry and the mobile telecommunications industry. NFC is rapidly becoming a standard feature in more smartphones, commercial rollouts are in the works across the globe, and breaking news about new trials and partnerships is a daily occurrence.

Even so, progress in mobile payments still lags behind many expectations, and doubts persist about NFC's future as the way to revolutionize quick and convenient retail payments. At the same time, various alternatives offering mobile payment at the point of sale are continuously being tested, and some have gained traction.

Mercator Advisory Group's latest report, Global Mobile Retail Payment Initiatives 2013, examines different mobile retail payment technologies that are being tested and deployed in various mobile retail payment initiatives across the globe (as of March 2013). The latest developments in select key markets are examined, together with different approaches toward mobile retail payments and the potential direction of those markets.
