In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. CEOs, CTOs, VPs of digital product development, chief information security officers (CISOs), and heads of mobile strategy from mobile commerce platform providers, fintech firms, telecom companies, payment gateway providers, and financial institutions were examples of supply-side sources. Chief digital officers, heads of e-commerce, mobile app product managers, and procurement leads from retail chains, banks, travel and hospitality organizations, healthcare providers, and government digital service agencies were examples of demand-side sources. In addition to confirming product development roadmaps and API integration timelines, primary research validated market segmentation across transaction types (mobile payments, mobile ticketing, mobile banking, mobile shopping, mobile travel booking), end-user categories (individual consumers, business customers, government agencies, non-profit organizations), device types (smartphones, tablets, wearables), applications (retail and e-commerce, banking and financial services, travel and hospitality, healthcare, education, entertainment), and operator types (network operators, MVNOs, OTT players, and third-party aggregators).
