India is paying with QR codes too. :- www.deekpay.com

　　It's true that UPI (Unified Payment Interface) is gaining popularity and growing at a very fast pace in India, thanks in no small part to the digital payments policy promoted by the Indian government. However, in terms of the size of the real-time payments market, it is true that China's Alipay and WeChat Pay have a larger market share and higher penetration.

　　Alipay and WeChat Pay have penetrated into people's daily lives in China and are almost ubiquitous, from street stalls to large shopping malls, and from online shopping to offline payments, their reach and user base are huge. According to multiple studies and reports, the size of China's mobile payment market far exceeds that of other countries, including India.

　　As for whether India is the world's largest real-time payments market, the claim may be a bit exaggerated. While UPI's transaction volume is growing, China's Alipay and WeChat Pay have a much higher record in terms of number of transactions and transaction value. Therefore, in terms of overall market size, China is more likely to be the world's largest real-time payments market.

　　However, the speed at which digital payments are developing in India is indeed noteworthy and shows the potential and momentum in the fintech space. And China's experience and model in payments technology has really had an impact on the development of payment systems in countries like India. So, while India may be learning from China in some ways, China still holds the lead in the race for the global real-time payments market.
