Global Wireless Power Transmission Market Estimated to Reach $20B by 2026
September 19, 2018 | Transparency Market ResearchEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
The global wireless power transmission market was valued at around $4 billion in 2017 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of more than 15% from 2018 to reach $20 billion by 2026, according to a new report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR) titled Wireless Power Transmission Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026.
Wireless power transmission is the transfer of electric energy from one place to another, without the use of conductors such as wires or cables. In wireless power transmission, electric energy is transmitted from a power source to electric loads such as laptops and mobile phones. A wireless transmitter is connected to a power source and transmits the field energy generated in the power source to one or more receivers. The field energy in the receivers is again converted into electric current and then used.
The use of wireless power transmission has been increasing. It has opened new avenues for energy management, hassle-free charging, and efficient power transfer. Technological advancements and the increase in digitization are expected to drive the global market for wireless power transmission during the forecast period.
Demand for wireless power transmission is driven by its advantage in terms of elimination of cables, while providing clutter-free charging. This benefit is especially driving the development of consumer electronics devices that can be wirelessly charged. Wireless chargers can sense the amount of power that each electronic device requires so that batteries are not overcharged. Moreover, electricity loss in wireless power transmission is less compared to wired power transmission, as there is no AT&C loss in wireless power transmission. This is anticipated to increase the usage of wireless power transmission further, thereby augmenting the global wireless power transmission market. Other factors driving the market include high operational efficiency, rise in the use of network communications, digitization, and development of infrastructure.
Lack of Common Standards, High Cost of Technology Continue to Restrain the Market
Technologies utilized for wireless power transmission is primarily inductive coupling (Qi standard) and magnetic resonance (A4PM standard). Presence of different charging techniques has resulted in confusion for OEMs, component providers, and customers also, in terms of standard adoption. This is likely to restrain the market in the next few years. The impact of this restraint is anticipated to lessen with the establishment of common standards. A key disadvantage of wireless power transmission is its cost. Users need to buy the latest wireless chargers to get higher output from wireless charging devices, as old chargers are slow at charging. Consequently, users need to invest more in the latest chargers.
Companies Focusing on Expanding their Product Portfolio
Rising number of applications of the wireless charging technology in health care and industrial sectors is anticipated to help companies expand their product portfolio in the near future. Implementation of the technology in medical scanning devices, implanted medical devices (IMDs), and hearing aids in the health care sector is estimated to provide lucrative growth opportunities to the wireless power transmission market in the near future. Innovations are required to overcome the range barrier in inductive, magnetic resonance, and RF technologies. This is likely to enhance usage of the wireless power transmission technology in the automotive industry in the next few years. This is anticipated to boost the wireless power transmission market during the forecast period, due to high demand for hybrid electric vehicles and eco-friendly electric vehicles.
