PayPal use in Sweden 2024

The adoption of PayPal for online shopping in Sweden in 2024 was lower than in early 2020, despite its continued popularity among customers as its usage in in-store shopping grew. This is according to two different questions asked throughout multiple surveys from Statista's Consumer Insights. The numbers shown here refer to the share of respondents who indicated they used PayPal in the last 12 months, either for POS transactions with a mobile device in stores and restaurants or for online shopping. Almost a quarter of the respondents from Sweden indicated they had used PayPal in a POS setting between July 2023 and June 2024 - with an additional 63 percent saying they used PayPal during this same time for online payments.

Some countries in Statista's Global Consumer Survey are part of an extended questionnaire. More information on the methodology can be found here.

For countries/territories receiving the extended questionnaire the Global Consumer Survey utilizes a rolling survey system with four survey waves per year: The most recent data set contains the interviews of the last 12 months. This ensures trend stability and a higher number of interviews available for analysis, allowing you to adequately analyze smaller target groups, media and brands.
