Key Market Overview:
Wireless power transmission market size was worth over USD 7.3 Billion in 2022 and is estimated to reach over USD 32.6 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 20.5% during the forecast period (2022-2030).
Wireless Power transmission or WPT involves transmitting electrical energy from a source to a device without the use of any wired connections such as cables or wires. WPT is achieved through several technologies, including electromagnetic induction, magnetic resonance, and radio frequency (RF) energy. Moreover, such WPT is typically preferred in consumer electronics as electromagnetic induction which uses magnetic fields to transfer energy between two coils. In this method, a charging pad or mat creates a magnetic field. Further, the coil in the device, which needs to be charged, converts such magnetic energy into electrical energy to charge its battery. Magnetic resonance WPT uses resonant inductive coupling between two coils to transfer energy wirelessly. Thus, such technology in wireless power transmission allows for attaining a greater distance between the power source and the device being charged.
The ability to charge devices without the need for physical cords or wires mainly supports the large demand for WPT within applications such as automotive, consumer electronics, construction, and others. The applications in such industries include wirelessly charging smartphones, electric vehicles, security equipment, industrial machines, and others. Moreover, the growing demand for wireless charging solutions and advancements in technology offer significant growth opportunities for manufacturers. The increasing popularity of smartphones and other electronic devices, along with the growing demand for electric vehicles, has created a growing demand for wireless charging solutions, providing manufacturers with a growing market to target. However, manufacturers have the opportunity to invest in research and development to stay ahead of the curve and develop innovative products that meet the needs of consumers. Also, such manufacturers are required to navigate regulatory requirements and certifications to ensure their products meet safety and quality standards.
