According to the latest estimates, 52% of people do not go to crowded market places at present. A large percentage of people do not like to leave home. Changes are observed in consumer behavior because of physical distance, the development of contactless payments / delivery models, and so on. As a result, e-commerce payment platforms are expected to grow by 25.9% by 2020.
