Merchant led report tackles complex payment industry dynamics


ATLANTA--BUSINESS WIRE--

Today, CMSPI released a State of the Industry Report in collaboration with the client-led Insights Advisory Council (IAC) formed in 2023. The Council consists of global business thought leaders from Amazon, Best Buy, Columbia, iHerb, lululemon, Kroger, McDonald’s, Shell, Sony, Target, and Walmart aligned with the purpose of shaping a more optimal paying experience for both merchants and consumers.

The CMSPI State of the Industry Report is intended to educate and inform merchant leaders, payments industry professionals, and global policymakers.

“We greatly appreciate the Council’s engagement and collaboration in developing this significant industry research,” said CMSPI CEO Elley Frost. “We look forward to our continued partnership with the Council to highlight the foremost strategic payments considerations facing the world’s leading merchants and partners.”

The State of the Industry Report provides a merchant-centric perspective on payment acceptance, including cost, supply chain dynamics, ecommerce growth, geographic market distinctions, and global policy developments.

“Behind card payments lies a complex web of infrastructure rules and practices that have shaped the payments industry,” notes CMSPI Chief Economist Callum Godwin. “The CMSPI Insights Advisory Council State of the Industry Report seeks to educate industry stakeholders and demystify the rapidly changing global payments landscape.”

State of the Industry Report by the numbers:

  • U.S. merchants paid $224 billion to accept card payments in 2023.
  • U.S. merchants’ like-for-like payment costs increased by approximately 34 basis points since 2009.
  • Since 2019, increased ecommerce spending and rising card fees resulted in an estimated $2.4 billion per annum increase in interchange and network fees paid by U.S. merchants.
  • While over 300 global payment policy interventions have had varying impacts, procompetitive dual network debit card routing has produced an opportunity for approximately $4 billion in annual savings in the U.S. and $800 million in Australia.
