The Payment Security Summit Series: Shaping the Future of Secure Payments
The Payment Security Summit Series is a global initiative aimed at shaping the future of secure payments across six countries: India, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, South Africa, Turkey, and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). As of 2024, the payment security landscape in these regions reflects a dynamic interplay of technological advancements, regulatory developments, and emerging threats.
Global Payment Security Market Overview
The global payment security market has witnessed significant growth, driven by the increased adoption of digital payments and the imperative to protect consumer data. In 2022, the market was valued at approximately USD 23.13 billion and is projected to reach USD 64.34 billion by 2030, expanding at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.9% from 2023 to 2030.
