The growth delivered a market of 600 million units which will, says IHS, double by 2023.
“Wireless power technology continues to evolve rapidly, with reach expanding beyond smartphones to wider applications and product segments,” says IHS’ Dinesh Kithany, “wireless power technology is also undergoing further sub-segmentation, with regard to wider power levels and distance range.”
Mobile phones comprised 71 percent of all receiver units shipped last year and they are expected to continue to drive this market over the next five years.
Beyond the mobile ecosystem – which also includes smartwatches, wireless earphones, and wearables – wireless charging is expanding into computing devices, smart home devices, IoT sensors, medical devices, small home appliances, power tools, robots and drones, augmented reality and virtual reality devices, gaming applications, industrial sector, 5G applications, electric vehicles and public infrastructure. “
”This wireless charging expansion creates opportunities for emerging wireless power solutions such as high-frequency-based resonant and radio-frequency, infrared and other uncoupled solutions to gain entry into the overall wireless power market,” says Kithany.
Led by smart speakers, the wireless charging enabled smart home market is expected to grow to more than 100 million units in 2028, says IHS,
“Smart thermostats, air-control devices, electronic door locks, garage-door systems, intruder alarms, video cameras, video doorbells and other smart home devices will follow,” Kithany said. “The IoT sensors market alone is expected to add more than one billion wireless charging devices to this market in the next five years.”
