India’s UPI (Unified Payments Interface) ecosystem continues to grow rapidly, and July 2025 data shows a clear winner emerging in the digital payments race.
According to the latest numbers, PhonePe has secured a commanding 46.7% share of the UPI transaction volume, reaffirming its position as India’s leading payments app. Google Pay remains a strong contender at 36.2%, while Paytm trails at 7.1%. The remaining 10% is split among smaller players in the ecosystem, including banks’ own UPI apps and emerging fintech platforms.
📌 Key Highlights:
- PhonePe leads the market with seamless integration and broad merchant support.
- Google Pay remains a preferred choice for many due to its clean interface and strong brand trust.
- Paytm continues to hold relevance but faces stiff competition from the top two players.
- The “Others” category—at 10%—includes apps like Amazon Pay, BHIM, CRED, and banking apps.
India’s digital payment space is increasingly consolidated, with PhonePe and Google Pay collectively holding over 80% of the market. This duopoly reflects consumer preferences for reliability, cashback incentives, and a smooth user experience.
As UPI adoption deepens across tier-2 and tier-3 cities, players that innovate on ease of use and ecosystem integration will continue to thrive.
