Industry Overview
The global Wireless Charging Market is expected to grow at a high CAGR of 23% from USD 5.2 billion to USD 14.6 billion by 2030 during the forecast period ranging from 2025 to 2030.
Wireless charging refers to the method of energy transmission from the power source to a consuming device without using any wires. The transmitter, or the charging station, supplies the energy that is received by a receiver integrated into a device to recharge the battery. Typically, the process uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to transmit power through a charging station. This process is widely used across several industries, such as automobiles, healthcare, and manufacturing. It is a safe and more efficient process that allows the consistent supply of power to recharge electrical devices. There are several benefits of wireless charging such as mobility, ease of use, safety due to no chances of electric shocks, and flexibility.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a downward trend in the wireless charging market in 2020 as there was less support from the government in other sectors and they were concentrating more on health services to curtail the pandemic. Moreover, supply chain disruptions, lockdowns have also impacted the growth of the market. However, the market is anticipated to recover and there will be an increase in the adoption of wireless charging in consumer electronics and automotive industries.
