Airport Phone Charging Station Global Market Report 2025

The airport phone charging station market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.05 billion in 2024 to $1.16 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing passenger traffic, a rise in smartphone usage, a growing demand for airport amenities, the proliferation of low-cost airlines, and the early adoption of digital infrastructure.

The airport phone charging station market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.84 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of contactless charging technologies, integration of phone charging with digital advertising platforms, growing smart airport initiatives, increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions, and rise in business and leisure air travel post-pandemic. Major trends in the forecast period include deployment of wireless and fast-charging stations, use of solar-powered charging kiosks, integration with biometric and AI systems, mobile app-based charging reservations, and customized branding and advertising on charging units.

The forecast of 12.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through rising expenses for fast-charging power management Integrated Circuits(ICs) and durable enclosure materials, largely imported from China and South Korea, making public charging infrastructure more costly to install and maintain. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growing number of passengers traveling is expected to drive the expansion of the airport phone charging station market in the future. This increase in passenger numbers is largely due to rising disposable incomes, which allow more people to afford leisure and business travel, boosting demand across transportation sectors. Airport phone charging stations provide travelers with a convenient and dependable way to keep their devices powered, ensuring uninterrupted access to boarding passes, travel updates, and communication. For example, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, the number of air passengers in the EU reached 973 million in 2023, representing a 19.3% increase compared to 2022. Consequently, the rising volume of passengers is fueling growth in the airport phone charging station market.

Companies in the airport phone charging station market are focusing on sustainable energy solutions, such as pedal-powered dynamos, to lower electricity consumption and improve the passenger experience with environmentally friendly charging options. A pedal-powered dynamo works by converting mechanical energy generated from pedaling into electrical power, offering a renewable way to charge devices or power stations. In January 2023, VINCI Airports, a France-based airport operator, launched innovative cell phone charging stations at Guanacaste airport. These eco-friendly stations engage passengers by allowing them to generate energy through pedaling, helping reduce the airport’s carbon footprint and supporting the aviation sector’s sustainability goals through green technology.

In January 2025, Heathrow Airport, a UK-based aviation company, partnered with ChargeBox Ltd. to begin a six-month trial of advanced fast-charging stations in Terminal 2. This collaboration aims to improve passenger convenience with state-of-the-art mobile charging solutions, enhance operational efficiency, and collect data to guide future infrastructure development and commercial strategies. ChargeBox Ltd., based in the UK, specializes in providing advanced mobile device charging solutions, including fast-charging stations designed for busy locations like airports and shopping centers.

An airport phone charging station is a designated spot within an airport where travelers can recharge their mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops. These stations usually offer USB ports, power outlets, or wireless charging pads. Their primary function is to help passengers keep their devices powered during transit, supporting communication, navigation, and entertainment needs.

The main types of airport phone charging stations include standard charging stations, wireless charging stations, portable charging stations, multi-device charging stations, and custom-branded charging stations. Standard charging stations are fixed installations with multiple USB and power outlets, allowing several devices to be charged simultaneously in public areas such as airports. These stations employ various charging technologies, including USB charging, fast charging, inductive charging, solar power systems, and smart charging technology. They are deployed in locations like gates, lounges, boarding areas, check-in zones, and security checkpoints, serving end users such as travelers, airlines, airport management, retail shops, food and beverage outlets, and corporate lounges.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the electrical and electronics sector. Key components such as semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals crucial for batteries and motors are now facing heavy duties. Consumer electronics companies are seeing profit margins shrink, as fierce competition makes it difficult to pass on rising costs to consumers. At the same time, industrial electronics firms are experiencing project delays due to shortages of tariff-impacted parts like printed circuit boards. In response, businesses are shifting assembly operations to tariff-exempt nations, building up inventory reserves, and redesigning products to reduce reliance on restricted materials.
