The increasing availability of data and analytics tools is one of the primary factors driving the market growth.

In February 2023, global payment acceptance solutions provider Ingenico and Splitit, the white-label installment platform that uses existing consumer credit, formed a partnership. The partnership aimed at enabling no-interest, one-touch BNPL capability at the physical checkout experience. They plan to achieve this by leveraging Splitit's Installments-as-a-Service solution and Ingenico's cloud-based Payments-Platform-as-a-Service (PPaaS).
The economic uncertainties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic have made many consumers more cautious about their spending, leading to an increased demand for payment solutions that allow for budgeting and financial planning.
