Southeast Asia Payment Gateways Market Growth Drivers

Central Bank-Mandated Real-Time and QR Payment Infrastructure Driving Gateway Adoption

The growth of Southeast Asia's payment gateways market is increasingly being driven by government-backed payment infrastructure rather than consumer behavior alone. Central banks across the region have established interoperable real-time payment and QR payment networks that financial institutions and payment providers are required to support. As a result, payment gateways must integrate these national payment rails to remain competitive and serve merchants effectively. For example, Malaysia's DuitNow QR transaction volume doubled from 1.5 billion transactions in 2024 to 3 billion in 2025, while Thailand's PromptPay surpassed 82.21 million registered users by December 2025. These milestones reflect regulatory initiatives such as interoperability standards and low-cost digital payment policies that have accelerated nationwide adoption.

The impact of this infrastructure becomes more pronounced as transaction volumes continue to grow. According to the State Bank of Vietnam, QR code payment volume increased 106.24%, while transaction value rose 128.15% in 2025, alongside sustained growth in overall non-cash payments. Consequently,
