The global solar charger market was valued at $575 million in 2022, and is projected to reach $ 1.84 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 12.5% from 2023 to 2032.
Solar chargers harness sunlight to generate power for electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets. It comprises photovoltaic panels that convert solar energy into electricity and store it in batteries or are used for direct device charging. Designed for portability, solar chargers are ideal for outdoor activities, travel, and emergencies in areas lacking conventional power sources. They present a sustainable and eco-friendly solution, which reduces reliance on the grid and offers a convenient means of powering devices through renewable solar energy.
Surge in adoption of electric vehicles serves as a driver for the growth of the solar charger market. Rise in need for charging infrastructure driven by the popularity of electric vehicles may be met sustainably and decentralized by solar chargers. The market for solar chargers is expected to play a significant part in determining the direction of sustainable mobility, as environmental awareness, government assistance, and technological advances are propelling this shift.
Rise in awareness of the environmental benefits of converting from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles among customers, companies, and governments led to rise in the adoption of electric vehicles globally. However, expansion of EV use presents infrastructure-related problems, particularly in places where conventional power grids may not be able to support them. Owners of electric vehicles (EVs) may reduce their need on traditional power sources by employing solar chargers, which provide a decentralized and off-grid solution to this problem.
The rise in integration of solar panels directly into electric car designs is another way that solar energy and electric vehicles are related. Several manufacturers are incorporating solar panels into the body of electric automobiles to capture sunlight for additional electricity or to help in the vehicle's battery charge. This comprehensive strategy further promotes sustainable transportation by building an all-encompassing solar-powered ecosystem for electric vehicles with the help of external solar chargers. Thus, increase in adoption of EV vehicles is expected to drive the demand for solar chargers, leading to the market growth.
Development and widespread use of solar chargers are hampered by the intermittent nature of solar energy. The inconsistency of the sun owing to several factors like weather, time of day, and location presents natural problems for solar chargers, which depend on sunlight to generate electricity. The intermittent nature of solar chargers limits their capacity to operate consistently and dependably, thus affecting their suitability as the major or only power source for electronic devices.
The unpredictable nature of electricity generation is one of the main problems caused by solar energy's intermittent nature. As solar chargers rely primarily on sunlight to function, any type of obstacle, like clouds or shade, can drastically lower their effectiveness. It is difficult for consumers to rely entirely on solar chargers owing to this unpredictability, especially in areas with little sunlight or during bad weather.
The intermittent nature of solar energy is exacerbated by the daily and seasonal variations in sunlight. As the sun does not always shine during the day, solar chargers may operate less efficiently in the early morning, late afternoon, and at night. For consumers that depend on a steady and dependable power source, this variability in power generation may pose a serious challenge, particularly during times of peak energy consumption. Thus, the intermittent nature of solar energy restrains the growth of the solar charger market during the forecast period.
Decrease in solar panel costs presented an excellent growth opportunity for the solar charger market. The relatively high cost of solar panels was one of the main barriers to the broad use of solar technologies, particularly solar chargers. While the cost of solar panels decreased due to improved manufacturing techniques, economies of scale, and increased competition, the market for solar chargers has grown significantly.
The combination of market forces and advances in technology led to decrease in the cost of solar panels. The efficiency of solar cells significantly increased over time, which enables producers to create more electricity using fewer components.
Furthermore, advancements in production methods and materials have improved the solar panel manufacturing process's affordability and scalability. The cost per watt of solar power output significantly decreased as production costs have decreased and solar panel efficiency has increased, making solar chargers more accessible and affordable for a wider range of consumers. Thus, decrease in solar panel costs presented a lucrative growth opportunity for the solar charger market.
The solar charger market is segmented by type, solar panel type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the market is divided into portable and standalone. By solar panel type, the market is classified into fixed, folding, and flexible. Depending on application, it is categorized into consumer electronics, transportation, and others. Region-wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
The major players operating in the global solar charger market are Allpowers Industrial International, Goal Zero, letsolar, RAVPower, Renogy, Secur, Solar Frontier Europe GmbH, Solar Technology International, The NOCO Company, and YOLK.
Other players include Anker, BioLite Inc., Choetech Store, Hanergy Thin Film Power Group Europe, Little Sun, OUTXE, Suntrica, ToughTested, Voltaic Systems, and Xtorm.
