Worldpay launches GPR 2025: the past, present and future of payments

If you take payments, you need the GPR to learn the latest trends driving the industry. GPR 2025 guides merchants through the past, present and future of payments.

In this year’s report

Digital wallets, account-to-account, buy now pay later and cryptocurrencies are changing the payments landscape, impacting what merchants need to do to support consumer preferences. These types of digital payments grew from just 3% of global in-person shopping value in 2014 to 38% in 2024; and increased online from 34% in 2014 to 66% in that time.

The sweep to digital payments is the overarching trend in the report, made more pronounced when looking with a wide lens at the last decade.

If the script can be flipped in just 10 years, what comes next?

To answer questions like this, Worldpay publishes its Global Payments Report. The 10^th edition unpacks a decade of unprecedented payment innovation, market guides, vertical insights and much more.
