Mordor Intelligence’s projection shows the market expanding at a pace that far exceeds the 2025 baseline, with the 2026 estimate already at $32.11 trillion—up roughly 12% year‑over‑year. The 12.56% CAGR outstrips broader fintech growth forecasts, reflecting a durable migration of routine banking activities into mobile apps. By 2025, Asia‑Pacific contributed 46.6% of global mobile‑banking revenue, positioning the region as the dominant growth engine and suggesting that further smartphone penetration and digital‑financial inclusion will continue to drive the sector’s expansion.
The report cites three intertwined forces: (1) consumers’ demand for instant digital payments, (2) banks’ investment in more intuitive, secure, and faster mobile platforms, and (3) expanding smartphone adoption worldwide. Bank of America’s 30 billion client interactions in 2025—incl. 16.6 billion digital logins—illustrate how large institutions are already channeling a substantial share of customer engagement through mobile apps [2]. Additionally, the World Bank notes that mobile‑phone technology is boosting savings in developing economies, reinforcing financial inclusion and further enlarging the addressable market.
Fund transfers dominate the service mix, holding 29.8% of market share in 2025, while investments and wealth management are set to grow at a 16.2% CAGR through 2031. Consumer‑to‑business transactions accounted for 54.1% of the 2025 share, indicating that mobile banking is increasingly the conduit for commercial payments. Retail individuals remain the primary end‑user, representing 66.2% of the market, yet small‑ and medium‑sized enterprises are projected to expand at a 14.9% CAGR, highlighting a broadening user base.
The projected $58 trillion market size signals that mobile banking will become a core pillar of financial services worldwide, but the pace of growth will hinge on how quickly banks can translate expanding smartphone access into secure, high‑value mobile experiences.
