Dublin, Jan. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "UAE Buy Now Pay Later Industry Outlook to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

UAE BNPL market expanded with substantial growth in between 2017 and 2022 with massive expansion in the adoption of BNPL as the mode of payment due to rising industry valuation, trend of contactless payments and the emergence of BNPL lending startups going beyond the typical BNPL card issuance model.

The primary factors driving the market growth is the emergence of instant payment anytime and anywhere, rising internet penetration in the country, growing awareness among the users, controlled, secured and efficient transactions with convenience of use and a highly rewarding experience provided by the market players to their users.

Several startups and global BNPL players are offering their innovative products and deferred payment services for consumers in the UAE. Moreover, the adoption from merchants is also on the rise as more and more consumers are demanding the BNPL payment method for both in-store as well as online purchases.

These payments are assisted by advanced technology and are, therefore, quick, simple and convenient. On the other hand, consumers too are increasingly being drawn to digital payments due surging adoption of contactless payments post COVID-19 which is also contributing in the growth of BNPL market by increasing their userbase.

In the UAE, the global pandemic has resulted in a shift in consumer spending habits and accelerated adoption of online shopping platforms. This shift in the overall consumer behavior, along with the rise of digital payment solutions, is resulting in buy now, pay later (BNPL) becoming one of the fastest-growing payments methods in the country.

As more and more people across India, including people in rural areas, use smartphones, they get increasingly exposed to digital payment modes. Gen-Zs and millennials are already comfortable with using them as they grew up with technology. Merchants are linking themselves to new-age online payment gateways to allow more and more consumers to access and shop for their products easily.

UAE Buy Now Pay Later Market Future Outlook and Projections

It is anticipated that BNPL industry will grow at a substantial rate owing to factors such as due to wider acceptability at shops and better product offerings in a competitive landscape in the coming years.

UAE has been culturally conservative towards BNPL and it is always seen as a debt trap instrument.

Traditional players need to take a cue from these players to enhance their offerings in the coming future. Players in this sector need to focus more on building the omnichannel ecosystem to cater to both the offline and online market.
