The buy now pay later market is poised to grow at an accelerated pace over the medium term in the Philippines. The availability of the payment method at point-of-sale, coupled with the fast-growing e-commerce market, will drive the BNPL industry growth in 2024. To tap into the growth potential, providers are expanding their footprint in the country and the trend is projected to further continue over the medium term.

Overall, the publisher maintains a positive growth outlook for the sector in the Philippines from the short to medium-term perspective.

Rising adoption of flexible payment solutions at checkout and point of sale to drive BNPL sales in the Philippines

Higher inflation has resulted in a significant uptake of buy now pay later schemes among Filipinos over the last 12 months. The uptake is projected to increase further over the medium term, however, other factors such as the fast-growing e-commerce market, are projected to aid the industry growth over the medium term.

According to a report from UnaCash, one of the leading Filipino BNPL providers, 15% of all online transactions are completed using the payment solution. The report also revealed that the anticipated increase in the total value of items purchased through BNPL options in 2024 is expected to outpace the 154% growth estimated in 2023, but is projected to be slightly less than the 178% surge observed in 2021.

The expected growth in BNPL usage in 2024 will be likely influenced by an anticipated 84% growth in the e-commerce market in 2024. UnaCash attributes this growth to the rising popularity of mobile commerce, which involves making transactions using devices such as smartphones or tablets.

BNPL providers are expanding their footprint amid the fast-growing e-commerce sector in the Philippines

To benefit from the rising demand for buy now pay later schemes and the growing m-commerce market, providers are expanding their footprint in the Philippines market. This trend is projected to continue further in 2024.

UnaCash, in 2023, onboarded various merchant partners across industry verticals. This includes appliances, gadgets, and general merchandise. Going forward, in 2024, the firm is planning to further boost its presence to accelerate business growth in the Philippines. The firm is forecasting an over 200% increase in its existing merchant partners. UnaCash is also opening new branches to have a bigger slice of the growing market. The firm, for instance, ended December 2023 with 128 branches. This is 300% higher compared to July 2022.

The broadening presence of BNPL providers across the Philippines is, therefore, expected to support further BNPL penetration in the market. This will subsequently drive the growth of the industry over the next three to four years.

Regional providers are forging strategic partnerships to expand in the Philippines buy now pay later market

With the projected growth at an accelerated rate over the next three to four years, regional providers are entering into strategic partnerships with financial services firms to expand in the Philippines market.

Atome Financial, in August 2023, revealed that it is renewing a US$100 million debt facility in partnership with HSBC Singapore. This move is aimed at growing its presence in the Philippine market. The collaboration not only supports Atome's expansion efforts but also takes advantage of HSBC Singapore's worldwide network, regional presence, and banking knowledge to enhance Atome's influence and outreach in the Philippine market.

Atome, notably, has a strong presence across Asia. The firm has disbursed more than US$4 billion in loans and has partnered with over 15,000 retailers in ten Asian markets. The plan to expand in the Philippines market is part of the firm's strategy to drive the next growth phase over the medium term. With a significant portion of the population needing access to financial services, Atome is well-positioned to fill the financial gap in the Philippines. From the short to medium-term perspective, the publisher expects more global and regional BNPL firms to enter into strategic collaborations and expand in the Philippines market. This will drive the competitive landscape and industry growth over the next three to four years.

The BNPL payment industry in Philippines has recorded strong growth over the last four quarters, supported by increased e-commerce penetration.
