Explore Market Trends and Opportunities in Global Ecommerce – The Paypers’ New Report
)
The first edition of the Global Ecommerce Report highlights the transformative shifts in the ecommerce and payments industries. With the increased tendency towards globalisation, digitalisation, and hyper-personalisation, cross-border ecommerce is no longer just about selling across borders – it has become a global experience driven by customer choice and enabled by evolving technologies.
We’re living in an era characterised by change, and businesses interested in doing more than just surviving must stay informed about industry trends, emerging payment technologies, and thriving growth markets. The Global Ecommerce Report – Tackling Challenges and International Expansion with Strategic Partnerships aims to be a guide for navigating this complex landscape. In this new edition, The Paypers has compiled insights from key stakeholders – top industry consultants, merchants, and payment service providers (PSPs) – who answer the most pressing questions and share winning strategies.
Report highlights
Here’s a glimpse into what to expect:
- An exploration of the current ecommerce landscape – from how emerging trends drive ecommerce and the new generation of domestic card schemes to regulatory developments to consider when balancing protection and industry growth;
- Strategic partners as key enablers in keeping up with the pace of change – learn about the payment trends and developments shaping global commerce, how to navigate the industry’s complexities, how optimised payments can unlock business growth, and the importance of FX for merchants;
- How to improve performance with payment orchestration – from how the technology impacts ecommerce and can help solve merchant challenges to what it means for interoperability;
- Payment trends and opportunities in growth markets – including a global perspective, as well as a close-up on the APAC, LATAM, and MEA regions;
- Payment shifts in travel, retail, and gaming – merchant contributors explore payment considerations when expanding across borders, the effect of GenAI on ecommerce, and the role younger generations play in changing payments in the gaming industry.
Original research by The Paypers
Setting out to address one of the biggest trends of the payments industry, namely payment orchestration, the Global Ecommerce Report 2025 includes an infographic with the capabilities of payment orchestration providers worldwide. Moreso, it features a section that details the regions where these players activate, seeking to offer an educational resource and starting point for businesses interested in partnering when expanding across borders.
A second infographic within the report focuses on six growth markets, namely Brazil, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The Paypers analysed each one, covering significant local developments – ecommerce trends, popular payment methods, and customer behaviours –, regulatory aspects impacting payments, ecommerce, and fraud, anticipated future developments, and relevant payment methods. The infographic also showcases stats regarding ecommerce market size projections, payment method shares, and POS card scheme shares.
Both infographics have been crafted to serve as tools for those players seeking to expand their reach.
