In September of last year, Apple’s new computer lines introduced wireless charging technology. Since then, I believe everyone has heard this saying: The air outlet for wireless charging has already arrived. Many outsiders and even industry practitioners in the industry are skeptical. Think it's an exaggeration, technology is not mature enough to get fire.
Little do they know that when a technology is fully mature, the first pioneers of crabs have already left behind others who are not aware of it. Then how big is the wireless charging market? The report of WPC Wireless Charging Alliance began to demonstrate.
Global wireless charging market rapid growth forecast
According to the data of the WPC Wireless Charging Alliance, the growth trend of the global wireless charging market for 2017-2026 is summarized, which covers two major blocks of the delivery end and the delivery end of the delivery. It can be seen that both have increased exponentially year by year, including the receiving end. The number of shipments is several times that of the transmitter.
As for specific figures, it is estimated that there will be approximately 550 million receivers and 200 million transmitters by 2018, and it is estimated that by 2020 there will be 1 billion receivers and 400 million transmitters, which will almost double! In 2025, there are Two billion receivers and 800 million transmitters will double again!
Not only the WPC report reveals the huge potential of the wireless charging market, but IHS is also very optimistic about this market. On April 20th, at the “2018 (Summer) China Wireless Charging Industry Summit Forum” held by Rechargeable Network, WPC Wireless Charging Alliance According to Yu Shuang, the Chinese liaison representative, IHS forecasts the wireless charging market and the industry has great potential. Both the transmitter and the receiver will have a strong development trend. The growth rate is rapid. The figure shows the data of IHS in 2017, we believe that the follow-up years The development will exceed this expectation.
WPC membership changes
In fact, the reason why the wireless charging market can be so hot and its prospects are promising is due to reasons. According to the statistics of the charging head network, as of April 30, 2018, the number of WPC members has increased to 534. Last September, Apple’s new iPhone was confirmed to carry wireless charging. At that time, there were only 251 WPC members. Now the number of members has doubled directly, which directly reflects the degree of fire in the wireless charging market.
Apple Drives the Wireless Charging Market and Surges in Shipments
September 12, 2017, is a landmark day for the wireless charging industry. Apple released three new iPhone X and iPhone 8/8P all equipped with wireless charging capabilities. Since the introduction of this technology, in the huge apple Driven by the rallying force, the industry has followed up with the wireless charging function. Take domestic mobile phone manufacturers, Jinli, Huawei, Xiaomi, Meizu, hammers and other companies have adopted this function.
On November 26, 2017, Jinli released its first wireless charging new machine, the M7 Plus, the first mobile phone equipped with a wireless fast charge. On March 27 this year, Huawei and Xiaomi inevitably held a press conference on the same day and released Huawei's first wireless charging phone Huawei Mate RS, Xiaomi MIX 2S. On April 22nd, Meizu released its first wireless charging device: Meizu POP True Wireless Headset and Meizu Wireless Charger. Among them, Meizu POP True Wireless Headset leads. Apple AirPods added wireless charging. On May 15, Hammer Technology also brought its flagship new machine, the Nut R1, which also added wireless charging for the first time.
WPC Wireless Charging Alliance
WPC is the first industry standard organization for wireless power supply and is the creator of the 'Qi' specification. There are a large number of members worldwide, and so far there have been more than 500: Including Apple, Samsung, Google, Huawei, Xiaomi, Haier and other domestic and international famous enterprises. Ms. Yu Shuang was previously the Marketing Director of the IEEE Standards Association. WPC has established a normative industry standard for 15W low power applications. The purpose of this standard is to achieve interoperability between various charging boards and portable devices.
Products that have been certified by the WPC Consortium will be marked with the logo 'Qi', and terminals with 'Qi' may be recharged on all charging boards marked with the logo. The annual fee charged by WPC from USD 5,000 to USD 25,000 is not charged. Etc. Only QPC certification can be obtained if you join the WPC Wireless Charging Alliance.
