Wireless Charging Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Technology (Inductive, Resonant, RF, Others), By Application (Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Industrial, Healthcare, Defense, Others), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Report Overview

The global wireless charging market size was valued at USD 12.92 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4% from 2023 to 2030. Growth prospects for the market seem very bullish due to the growing adoption of this technology in consumer electronics devices such as smartphones and tablets. Other sectors, such as automotive, industrial, healthcare, and defense, are also expected to spur industry growth as end-users have tended to minimize the hassles of wires for powering various devices.

The inductive segment dominated the market with the highest revenue share of 45.9% in 2022. Leading standards such as WPC (Qi technology) and PMA are based on inductive technology. In addition, Electric Vehicles (EVs) also use inductive technology for power. The ability to charge multiple devices simultaneously and the integration of wireless charging pads into various surfaces and furniture have further fueled the growth of the inductive segment.

Resonant technology is expected to grow considerably over the forecast period. Resonant technology aids in powering devices across small distances and does not require direct contact, thereby increasing convenience. The technology also allows numerous devices to be charged simultaneously.

The RF technology is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 21.5% during the forecast period as it eliminates the need for proper alignment in the case of small devices such as wearables and medical implants. Companies like Humavox have been investing in this technology due to its perceived advantages.

Application Insights

Consumer electronics dominated the market with a revenue share of 62.2% in 2022. Eliminating the hassles caused by wired chargers and the unavailability of electric points at most public places has resulted in the growing prominence of cordless power.

Healthcare and defense are expected to emerge as promising application sectors at a CAGR of 19.1% and 17.4%, respectively, over the forecast period. Researchers at Stanford University developed a new way to charge sensors and cybernetic implants wirelessly, paving the way for a new generation of ultra-small devices that can penetrate deeper inside the body. These devices help maintain the charge of these implants for longer and even operate without a battery.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 38.0% in 2022. Consumer’s inclination towards spending more for such power, especially their smartphones and tablets, has resulted in North America, particularly the U.S., being a key regional segment.

MEA is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 18.6% over the forecast period. The MEA region has witnessed increased technology awareness and adoption, driven by a young and tech-savvy population. As consumers become more familiar with wireless charging technology and its benefits, the demand for wireless chargers continues to grow.

As a lucrative industry for consumer electronics devices such as smartphones and laptops and a promising regional sector for hybrid electric vehicles, the Asia Pacific wireless charging market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. Latin America and Africa are relatively untapped markets and are expected to witness high adoption of cordless charging over the forecast period.
