The digital remittance market was valued at $20,190.0 million in 2023 and is estimated to reach $102,149.6 million by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 17.4% from 2024 to 2033.
Digital remittance refers to the process of transferring money electronically across borders using digital platforms, often through mobile apps, online banking, or dedicated remittance websites. Unlike traditional money transfer methods that rely on physical agents or cash handling, digital remittance leverages advanced technology to provide faster, more secure, and cost-effective solutions for sending money internationally. It is widely used by individuals, particularly migrant workers, to send funds to their families in different countries.
The global digital remittance market is witnessing robust growth due to factors such as increase in smartphone penetration and enhanced internet access, particularly in emerging economies. According to a study published by the GSMA Mobile Connectivity Index-a global mobile connectivity and digital economy guide covering 170 countries and 7 sub-regions-approximately 4.6 billion individuals were mobile internet users in 2022. In addition, with an estimated 281 million international migrants in 2020-as stated by the World Migration Report 2024-the demand for seamless and efficient money transfer solutions has surged significantly, driving the adoption of digital remittance platforms. Moreover, digital remittance services provide unbanked and underbanked populations access to the formal financial system, which fosters the market growth. For instance, digital wallets and mobile money services are bridging the gap in regions like sub-Saharan Africa. Furthermore, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift from cash-based to digital payments due to mobility restrictions and the need for contactless transactions, thereby augmenting the growth of the digital remittance market. However, high transaction fees significantly hampers the market growth. In addition, inadequate digital infrastructure in rural parts of Africa or South Asia limits the adoption of digital remittance platforms. On the contrary, the incorporation of AI, blockchain, and API-based platforms has streamlined processes, ensuring faster, more reliable, and scalable remittance services. Blockchain, in particular, has gained traction for enabling cost-effective and secure transfers. Such developments are expected to offer remunerative opportunities for the expansion of the global market during the forecast period.
