AC Adapter Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global AC adapter market is expected to grow in the forecast period of 2025-2034 at a CAGR of 3.00%.

Rise in the Number of Consumer Electronics to Boost the Market Growth of AC Adapters

The global market for AC adapters is being driven by the rising demand to convert high voltage alternating current to a lower voltage direct current. Direct current is required in devices that operate on a relatively constant voltage, such as consumer electronic devices like laptops and smartphones.

The rise in the market ownership of these devices in the recent years, owing to expanding per capita incomes and the rising WFH culture as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. AC adapter is an external power supply which converts high voltage electricity into relatively constant voltage by providing various advantages like safety, reduced size and weight of the device, heat reduction, and ease of replacement. These are some of the factors contributing to the market growth of AC adapters.
