Extensive digitization is the major factor driving segment growth. Due to the heavy usage of the internet, insufficient battery capacity of smartphones and other mobile consumer electronic products would remain a key driving factor for the growth market.

The penetration of smartphones has led to an increase in data consumption. Smartphones have transformed into high energy-consuming devices, which constantly drain the power of a battery owing to the usage of multiple apps for internet browsing, sending emails, personal entertainment, messaging, gaming, and other activities. As the current battery technologies failed to match up with the increasingly capable smartphones, handset manufacturers got back to the drawing boards and made the mobile consumer electronics economical to energy hence downsizing the hardware, so that there remains more space for a big battery. The 8,001 mAh-20,000 mAh segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to the ability of these power banks to charge a device multiple times.

Energy Source Insights

The electric segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 72.8% in 2022. They offer benefits, such as easy availability, low cost & weight, and compactness, and are suitable for charging moveable electronic devices. These features are contributing to the growth in demand. The solar segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2023 to 2030. With the increasing popularity of solar panels and other renewable energy sources, there is a growing trend toward power banks that can be charged using renewable energy. Some power banks are designed to be charged using a built-in solar panel, while others can be charged using a separate solar panel or wind turbine. Moreover, the growing popularity of solar energy as an environmentally friendly alternative is projected to boost the market during the forecast years.

Most of the users possess multiple electronic devices, hence they need a portable energy source, which simultaneously can recharge multiple devices. This is attributed to creating sustainable demand for the industrial power bank. Industrial power banks are designed as a portable energy storage system that allows companies to seamlessly continue operations using “instant-on” backup power for their industrial devices.
