By 2017, almost 20 percent of worldwide mobile payments will be transacted using NFC technology. NFC payments will surpass $391 billion in volume in 2017.

There were 516 million people banking by mobile device at the end of 2012. That number will pass 1 billion in 2014, and go on to pass 1.5 billion in 2016.

International mobile remittance is another growing segment of the mobile commerce space. Worth almost $25 billion in 2012, the value of this market will surpass $50 billion in 2016, and $70 billion in 2017.
