Report Description

According to PayNXT360’s Q4 2021 BNPL Survey, BNPL payment in China is expected to grow by 52.7% on annual basis to reach US$ 83562.5 million in 2022.

The BNPL Gross Merchandise Value in the country will increase from US$ 54705.7 million in 2021 to reach US$ 338658.7 million by 2028.

Over the last few quarters, there has been a surge of interest in BNPL products among consumers in China. While the deferred payment industry is still at a nascent stage, it is poised to record significant growth over the next four to eight quarters. A few of the factors that are fueling the perfect storm for the growth of the BNPL sector include the cashless society, huge e-commerce market, and young population.

The Chinese BNPL market is primarily held by big technology firms such as Ant Group. However, as the Chinese Government continues to crack down on these big firms, PayNXT360 expects new and modern-day firms to emerge in the BNPL sector over the next four to eight quarters. With strong consumer demand the overall need for the BNPL product in the Chinese market, PayNXT360 expects the industry to record robust growth from the short to medium-term perspective.

Fundraising activities are rising in the Chinese BNPL market

• In December 2021, Ant Group-owned consumer finance arm announced that the firm is raising US$3.5 billion to boost its growth in the BNPL sector. Notably, the firm announced that the capital increase would allow it to advance more credit to consumers in the country over the next few quarters. This will subsequently assist the firm in further increasing its market share in the region.

PayNXT360 expects more BNPL firms to raise funding rounds in China over the next four to eight quarters, which will further intensify innovation and competition in the Chinese deferred payment industry from the short to medium-term perspective.

Automotive companies are offering pay later option to attract consumers in China

As the popularity of the BNPL payment method continues to grow among consumers in the country, more and more businesses are offering consumers flexible payment solutions to boost sales and growth in China. For instance,

• In November 2021, Tesla, one of the leading and most valuable electric vehicle manufacturers, announced that the firm is allowing consumers in the country to buy a Tesla without any upfront cost. While it is not exactly a BNPL payment option, the firm is offering consumers a zero-payment installment plan to take a Tesla home.
• This move from the firm at a time when Tesla is trying to boost its sales figure in the country. With this payment scheme launch in China, the firm has made it easier for consumers in the country to buy its cars, which is thereby expected to boost its sales figure from the short to medium-term perspective.

Overseas BNPL companies are expanding their reach in the Chinese BNPL market

• Singapore-based BNPL firm Atome is looking to expand its presence in the Chinese deferred payment industry. Since launching its services in Mainland China in September 2020, the firm has rapidly expanded to cover Tier I and Tier II cities across several regions in the country. Moreover, the firm has partnered with 1,500 local and international brands across all the markets it operates in, some of which include big names such as New Balance, Tissot, and Nike, among others.
