Graph 1.5 While global acceptance metrics are important to capture, regional nuances are key to understanding the dynamics of payment enablement. For example, CMSPI estimates and analysis highlight differences in digital wallet acceptance across regions. In APAC, merchant acceptance of staged digital wallets reaches 75% while pass-through digital wallet acceptance stands at 62%. On the other hand, Europe shows quite a different trend, with staged digital wallets at just 47% and pass-through digital wallets at 93% acceptance. Such contrasts reflect attributes like payments ecosystem maturity, regulatory landscapes, and technological
focuses alongside consumer payment preferences. Digital Wallet Acceptance in Europe and APAC
