A new study by global tech strategists Juniper Research has found that the value of cross-border payments will reach $62.9 trillion by 2030 globally; up from $50.8 trillion in 2026.
This impressive 24% growth is being driven by:
The research identified that as domestic growth stagnates across many developed markets, cross-border trade is seen as increasingly vital to sustained business growth. Payment infrastructure such as stablecoins will be critical to allowing businesses to trade across borders more seamlessly; unlocking opportunities for growth that are currently limited by inefficient and costly cross-border payments capabilities.
Cross-border eCommerce Means Local Payment Strategies
The report identified cross-border eCommerce as the fastest-growing segment within cross-border payments; forecast to grow by 54% globally, in value terms, between 2026 and 2030.
Senior Analyst Lorien Carter commented: “As brands look to sell across borders, the ability to facilitate consumer payments in the right local payment methods will be vital to success. Cross-border payments are complex, but to the consumer, cross-border eCommerce must be no different from domestic eCommerce, or it will fail to gain traction in a highly competitive eCommerce market.”
Businesses will require payment infrastructure that allows them to receive payments in many different ways, but does not create complex settlement and reconciliation processes. As many of the businesses expanding internationally will be smaller businesses, cross-border payments specialists must ensure that their solutions add value, not complexity.
