Wireless power transmission (WPT), as we know, means transfer of energy or power from one medium to another without being connected through wires. Their ease-of-use and lower cost is what makes it popular among consumers. WPT devices are being increasingly becoming popular, especially in consumer electronics devices, industrial, automotive, defense, and healthcare sectors, thereby boosting the growth of WPT market.
Drivers and Restraints
The growth of the global wireless power transmission market is majorly driven by the following factors:
- Growing preference and demand for wireless connectivity from consumers
- Increasing need for charging battery-enabled devices
- Ability of WPT technology to charge more than one device at a time
- Increasing use of smartphones and wearable electronic devices
Moreover, the adoption of “go wireless” technique and huge demand for consumer electronics devices coupled with rising adoption of advanced technologies is driving the market in Asia-Pacific.
Although, the lack of common standards of charging poses major challenge in front of this market since it creates confusion for the component providers as well as customers, this problem is likely to diminish in the near future, thereby boosting the growth of this market further.
Market at a Glance
The global wireless power transmission market which was valued at USD 0.72 Billion in 2014, is expected to reach USD 13.11 Billion by the end of 2020, growing at a CAGR of 51.5% during the forecast period. In 2014, Asia-Pacific held the largest market share, and it is also expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the projected period, with China, India, Japan, and South Korea being the key markets for WPT as well as consumer electronics.
