Definition and Scope: Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) services refer to financial products that allow consumers to make purchases and pay for them in installments over time, typically without incurring interest. This payment option has gained significant popularity in recent years, especially among younger consumers who prefer the flexibility and convenience it offers. BNPL services are often integrated into online shopping platforms, enabling users to split their payments into smaller, more manageable amounts. The key feature of BNPL services is the ability to defer payment, making it an attractive alternative to traditional credit cards for many consumers. The market for Buy Now Pay Later services is experiencing rapid growth, driven by several key factors. One of the primary market trends is the increasing consumer demand for flexible payment options, especially in the e-commerce sector. As more consumers shop online, they are looking for convenient and affordable ways to finance their purchases.

In addition, the rise of digital payment platforms and mobile shopping apps has made it easier for consumers to access BNPL services, further fueling market growth. At the same time, market drivers such as the growing acceptance of alternative payment methods by merchants and retailers are contributing to the expansion of the BNPL market.
