Key Industry Insights

Driver

Rising Consumer Demand for Versatile Payment Methods

A change occurs in the BNPL market: younger customers, especially Millennials and Gen Z, demonstrate a preference for accessible payment solutions. Through BNPL, users achieve better financial planning to use the waiting period for desired purchases instead of paying high-interest credit debts. The behaviour shift drives retailers to offer BNPL checkout options so they can maximize both conversion rates and average order values. The BNPL service providers now target industries above retail, including healthcare and tourism to make essential services more flexible and obtain wider customer adoption.

Restraint

Lack of Clear Regulations

The BNPL sector encounters major obstacles because of the lack of defined regulations in various nations. The absence of regulation leads to uncertainty for providers, hindering compliance efforts and restricting their capacity to expand with assurance. Due to the absence of clear regulations, consumers are vulnerable to unregulated credit risks, heightening the likelihood of undisclosed fees, ambiguous repayment conditions, and potential debt buildup. BNPL companies face challenges from abrupt regulatory changes by governments.

Opportunity

Growth in Developing Markets

The BNPL market offers business prospects to penetrate areas lacking access to conventional financial systems. Customers in various regions of Southeast Asia, along with Latin America and certain areas of Africa, often find credit cards and loans unattainable, whereas BNPL presents a viable option. The implementation of adaptable payment options allows providers to attract customers seeking feasible financing solutions. BNPL firms must provide localized services, mobile payments, and tailored support for underdeveloped financial areas.

Challenge

Competition from Traditional Credit

The BNPL sector encounters significant rivalry from conventional financial offerings such as credit cards and personal loans, which boast solid customer bases and widespread acceptance. In contrast to BNPL, credit cards frequently offer rewards programs, cashback opportunities, and revolving credit, which appeal to consumers. Furthermore, banks and financial institutions possess strong risk evaluation systems, providing them with an advantage in handling credit risk. This fierce competition compels BNPL providers to distinguish their products and foster customer loyalty.
