Quarterly UnionPay penetration, online or offline, in China 2018-2024
UnionPay adoption for online shopping in China stayed roughly the same in 2024 when compared to 2020, still making it a popular solution for consumers. 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 UnionPay in the last 12 months, either for POS transactions with a mobile device in stores and restaurants or for online shopping. Three out of 10 respondents from China indicated they had used UnionPay in a POS setting between April 2022 and March 2023 - with an additional four out of 10 saying they used UnionPay during this same time for online payments.
