In terms of volume, the global merchant acquiring market stood at US$27.80 trillion in 2021 and is estimated to reach US$41.75 trillion by 2026. In terms of transaction flow, the global merchant acquiring market reached 421.03 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach 987.95 billion by 2026. Merchant acquisition is an essential component of card payment transaction processing. Merchant acquirers enable merchants to accept card payments by acting as a bridge between merchants, issuers, and payment networks, offering merchants authorization, clearing and settlement, dispute management, and information services.
Over the past few years, merchant acquiring market growth has been driven by its adaptability to the rapidly changing payment ecosystem. The merchant acquirer multiples have grown owing to the rapid digitalization wave across industries which has increased the usage of non-cash payments, globally. In addition, key growth drivers for merchant acquiring include eCommerce and mobile digital transactions, as well as the adoption of integrated payments and value-added services. The global merchant acquiring volume market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period of 2022-2026.
Market Segmentation Analysis:
-- By Payment Method: The market report has segmented the global merchant
acquiring market into seven segments on the basis of payment method:
(Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Local Card Networks,
and Alternative Payment Models). The Visa card network segment held more
than 41.9% of the share in the merchant acquiring market in 2021, as the
Visa card network has been the largest card network holder during the
historical period of 2017-2021.
-- By Company Type: The report splits the global merchant acquiring market
into two different segments: scaled incumbent acquirers, and modern
acquirers. The modern merchant acquiring segment is the fastest growing
segment with a CAGR of around 35.2% during the forecast period, as the

divided into five major regions: Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, and
the Rest of Asia Pacific), North America (The US, Canada, and Mexico),
Europe (UK, Germany, France, Italy and Rest of Europe), Latin America,
and the Middle East and Africa. The Asia Pacific enjoyed the major share
of 41.2% of the global market in 2021, primarily driven by the region's
rising banked population, improving payment infrastructure, growing
consumer preference for electronic payments, and rising merchant
acceptance. Asia-Pacific is noted for being the first geography to show
digital wallets as the primary eCommerce payment modality, which
continues with digital wallets representing 68.5% of eCommerce
