DUBLIN, October 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global M-commerce Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The global m-commerce market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 27.48% during the period 2016-2020.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from the research team said: The launch of m-commerce apps for wearable devices will be a game changing trend for the global m-commerce market. For instance, Apple Watch is likely to come out with m-commerce apps for major vendors like eBay, Target, and Fandango.

This will not only increase the adoption of wearable devices but also m-commerce activities on wearables. The mobile app for Target stores, for instance, merges the offline and online experiences. The embedded sensors will notify the individual about the items on their shopping list when they enter a Target store, giving the buyers a seamless shopping experience.

According to the report, growing adoption of mobile wallets will be a key driver for market growth. Mobile wallet refers to payments made through mobile devices instead of credit or debit cards, or any other cashless payment method. It stores the customers' credit cards details and enables the user to pay at NFC POS terminals via smartphones.

Transactions through mobile wallets need high-speed internet and interoperability between service providers and issuers. NFC-enabled mobile wallets and mode of payments are gaining popularity as it is convenient and saves lot of time. Thus, the growing awareness of mobile wallet and convenience is likely to support the growth of the m-commerce market globally.
