Digital wallet usage is by far highest in China, where 45% of adults use the payment method daily, and an additional 41% do so at least once a week. By comparison, just 6% use digital wallets daily in the US.

Beyond the chart: Digital wallets are a major driver of ecommerce adoption, particularly in mobile-first economies. In China, for example, 90.5% of internet users will make an online purchase this year, representing the largest digital buyer base worldwide, per our estimates. India, which ranks No. 2 in digital wallet use, will boast the second-biggest base with just 60.0%, thanks to the sheer size of its population.
