India Payment Gateway Market is Expected to Register a CAGR of 8.70% Through 2030

Growth of E-commerce & Digital Transactions and Government Initiatives & Digital Financial Inclusion are likely to propel the market during the forecast period.


According to TechSci Research report, “India Payment Gateway Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, India Payment Gateway Market was valued at USD 1.90 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 3.16 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 8.70% during the forecast period.

The rapid growth of e-commerce in India has been a significant driver for the payment gateway market. As more businesses, from small startups to large corporations, shift to online platforms, the demand for secure, efficient, and scalable payment solutions has increased. The rise of e-commerce platforms such as Flipkart, Amazon India, and new-age online businesses has resulted in a massive volume of digital transactions, creating an urgent need for reliable payment gateways.

India has one of the largest online shopper bases in the world, and this number is expected to continue growing with increasing internet penetration, especially in tier 2 and tier 3 cities. The shift in consumer buying behavior, particularly post-pandemic, where consumers prefer online shopping for both goods and services, has fueled the demand for digital payment methods. Furthermore, the increased trust in online payment methods has encouraged consumers to make payments through debit cards, credit cards, UPI (Unified Payments Interface), and digital wallets. Payment gateways are thus crucial to providing secure and smooth transactions for both businesses and consumers.

In response to the surging demand, payment gateway providers are continually innovating and enhancing their services. These providers offer features such as multi-currency support, faster checkout processes, subscription-based payment models, and customer-friendly interfaces. As e-commerce continues to thrive, India’s digital payment infrastructure, powered by robust payment gateways, is expected to grow even faster, contributing to the overall expansion of the market.

Based on Enterprise Size, The Small & Medium Enterprise held the largest market share in 2024.  Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) dominate the India Payment Gateway market for several key reasons, contributing to their significant presence in the digital payments ecosystem. As the backbone of India’s economy, SMEs account for a large proportion of the country’s businesses, and their increasing reliance on digital platforms has driven demand for efficient and accessible payment gateway solutions.

One of the primary reasons for SMEs' dominance is the growing push toward digitalization and financial inclusion. With government initiatives such as Digital India and Startup India, there has been a concerted effort to bring SMEs into the digital fold, enabling them to tap into a broader customer base. These businesses have realized the importance of accepting digital payments to remain competitive, especially in the face of shifting consumer behavior toward cashless transactions. As more consumers prefer digital payments via credit cards, UPI, and mobile wallets, SMEs have had to adapt quickly to provide convenient, secure, and reliable payment methods. Additionally, payment gateway providers are offering cost-effective and user-friendly solutions tailored to the needs of SMEs. Many gateways now offer affordable pricing models, making it feasible for smaller businesses with limited budgets to implement digital payment systems. The simplicity and scalability of hosted and bank-integrated payment gateways, in particular, are attractive to SMEs, as these solutions do not require significant upfront investments or technical expertise to integrate. The rise of e-commerce has also contributed to the growth of SMEs in the payment gateway market. With platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and others enabling SMEs to easily create online stores, the demand for secure and fast payment processing systems has soared. Payment gateways that offer easy integration with these platforms have become a crucial enabler for small businesses to tap into the growing e-commerce market.

Based on region, North India is the fastest-growing region in the India Payment Gateway market due to several key factors, including the region's robust economic growth, increased internet penetration, and the rising popularity of digital payments among consumers and businesses.

North India, particularly states like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab, has seen significant economic development in recent years. These areas host a large number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and retail businesses transitioning to online platforms, driving the demand for secure and efficient payment gateways. Additionally, the region’s flourishing e-commerce industry, with major players like Flipkart, Snapdeal, and local online marketplaces, has further accelerated the adoption of digital payment solutions.

The widespread availability of affordable smartphones and improved internet connectivity has enabled consumers in North India to increasingly engage in online shopping, bill payments, and money transfers. According to recent data, the number of internet users in the region has surged, particularly in tier 2 and tier 3 cities, which were previously underserved. This shift towards digital engagement fuels the demand for seamless and secure payment gateway systems.

The Indian government's push for financial inclusion and a cashless economy through initiatives like Digital India and the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) has significantly impacted North India. With increasing awareness and adoption of UPI (Unified Payments Interface), digital wallets, and other cashless payment methods, consumers and businesses in the region are adopting payment gateways at a rapid pace. Government-backed campaigns and the implementation of digital payment infrastructure are providing the necessary ecosystem for payment gateway growth.
