NEW YORK, USA: Markets for advanced charging technologies (including solar-powered handsets, solar chargers, wireless power units, fuel-cell battery charging products and public charging kiosks), worth about $1.5 billion in 2010, are forecast by ABI Research to grow at a robust CAGR of more than 86 percent to exceed $34 billion in 2015.
As people carry and use increasing numbers of portable electronic devices, they have a growing need to charge their batteries on the go. Today’s road warriors can tell you it’s not always feasible to plug a cellphone handset into a wall outlet or car adapter for a quick charge.
That is why a number of vendors are developing and commercializing advanced charging technologies that can top up batteries wirelessly or using solar or wind power, or which provide for a fast download of electricity while waiting for one’s flight.
