IDTechEx: Wireless charging 2016-2026
Wireless charging of portable devices such as mobile phones and medical
implants has come center stage recently. Latest mobile phones and
wearable electronics use too much electricity that they typically expire
before a charging station is found. Charging is then long and tedious.
Cutting someone open to change their battery is grotesquely bad
practice. Better batteries and energy harvesting such as solar cells
have not proved adequate so ubiquitous top-up charging without plugging
in is receiving eager attention. Users love it. The new report from
IDTechEx Research Wireless
Charging 2016-2026: Phones & Small Electronics, Electric Cars & Other
Vehicles describes the good and bad of this including a standards
battle going on and what will result.
Plug in cars are proving problematic with the dirt, weight, vandalism
and delay this causes so a similar solution is arriving here too.
Wireless charging of vehicles is largely being resolve into one
compatible set of standards and it will be fitted on some new cars from
2017 plus buses etc.
From phones and other portable devices to cars this is one subject. The
specifications overlap in capability and leading providers of
intellectual property such as Qualcomm (News - Alert) and WiTricity
span the whole capability. The report
gives deep interviews recently carried out in both Europe and the USA
with both of these companies and with a large number of other
participants and innovators throughout the emerging value chains.
This is completely new research, as befits analysis of a topic that is
now changing rapidly. It includes improvement timelines, sales over the
coming decade, alternatives to current wireless charging methods and a
strictly independent view of the global market. It is all here.
This
unique report was almost entirely researched in 2015 in an intense
travel schedule by PhD analysts. Interviews, visits, conference
attendance and our 15 year experience of the subject underpin the
analysis which is presented in easily understood form with detailed ten
year forecasts and timelines. Original IDTechEx tables and infographics
pull together this analysis. Only a global and up-to-date view makes
sense in this subject as it is changing very rapidly.
