Apple continues to add wireless charging, driving wireless charging chip orders surge?

Set a micro-mesh news, a new generation of Apple mobile phones to increase wireless charging across the board, triggering the market for wireless charging applications concern, especially for Apple wireless charging function with AirPower accessories priced up to 199 US dollars, Shenzhen, the recent price of only about 50 US dollars The surge in sales of wireless charging boards has led to a significant increase in demand for wireless charging boards, wireless charging chips and modules. IC design houses such as Siu Yi Innovation, New Tang, Holtek and Gambo already have wireless chip solutions in place, Be optimistic about the subsequent shipment of wireless charging chip kinetic energy.

Although the smart phone wireless charging function is not a new application, earlier Android camp phone brand manufacturers have also tried, but Apple officially introduced wireless charging fully detonated the market response.Industrial design manufacturers have pointed out that the past, the monthly demand for wireless charging board product market Only about a few hundred thousand units in size, led by Apple's mobile phone, making the recent mainland wireless charging board market demand jumped significantly to 1 million units per month scale, and are still rising.

Meanwhile, the new iPad and Apple Watch in 2018 are also expected to upgrade with wireless charging capabilities, detonating other consumer electronics products simultaneously upgrade specifications.Industry insiders pointed out that the global wireless charging chip market in 2018 is expected to double the size of the downturn, or even May greatly increase the size of 2 to 3 times, for the layout of the wireless charger has been ahead of the layout of the IC design firms, the success of follow-up orders are expected to be quite strong.

Recently, Holtek Semiconductor Vice President Li Peiyong Semiconductor Resource Management Center said that in September 2017, Apple released the iPhone 8, iPhone X equipped WPC's Qi wireless charging specifications, the cooperation of vendors for the relevant MCU significantly increased the degree of consultation, Holtek Wireless charging MCU program is expected in the fourth quarter of 2017 shipments will exceed 1 million, the market is expected to grow exponentially in 2018. Siu Yi innovation senior product marketing manager Kim also agree that the adoption of iPhone will make next year's wireless charging market There is an opportunity for explosive growth, the current trillion easy wireless charging solutions are also shipping one after another industry insiders said micro-set on the set, a mainland client boldly estimated next year its wireless products shipped in the millions of orders of magnitude, Reflect the market heat.

In fact, in the wireless charging market, MCU (microcontroller) has been playing a decisive role as more and more terminal manufacturers to invest in the development of a variety of devices with wireless charging capabilities, but also to enhance the relevant hardware modules Of the shipments.According to the IHS report estimates that by the end of 2017, the global wireless charging receiver shipments can reach 325 million units, an increase of nearly 40% over 2016, is expected in recent years wireless charging will usher in the outbreak, the annual compound The growth rate will exceed 50%; 2019 wireless charging market will exceed 10 billion US dollars, the terminal penetration rate of 60%, by 2024 the market size of nearly 100 billion yuan.

Driven by the iPhone 8 series of handsets, domestic handsets such as Xiaomi, Huawei, Jinli, Hammer, Nubia, Glory and VIVO have all been put into wireless charging pre-research and are expected to have more handsets with wireless charging next year The introduction of the full range of products, such as Apple's mobile phones, tablets and watches, along with the introduction of wireless charging capabilities, coupled with the rapid follow-up of Android devices, will surely drive a new wave of growth in the global wireless charging market in 2018.
