The Global Solar Charger Market size is expected to reach $1.3 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 12.1% CAGR during the forecast period.
The growing demand for solar chargers has increased the availability and variety of products in the North American region. Consequently, the North America region would acquire nearly 12% market share by 2030. North America has a strong outdoor culture, with many individuals engaging in camping, hiking, and backpacking activities. The vulnerability of traditional power grids to disruptions has led individuals and businesses in North America to consider energy resilience.
Urbanization often coincides with initiatives promoting clean energy alternatives. Sustainable living advocates and local governments in urban areas actively promote using these chargers to reduce residents' carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment. Sustainable building practices are gaining traction in urban development. Solar panels integrated into building architecture are known as building-integrated photovoltaics or BIPV. Thus, because of the growing urbanization and sustainable living, the market is anticipated to increase significantly. Additionally, these chargers can be integrated into electric vehicles, providing an additional power source to recharge the battery. Ongoing advancements in solar technology, including more efficient solar panels and improved energy storage systems, contribute to the feasibility and effectiveness of integrating these chargers with electric vehicles. Hence, rising adoption of electric vehicles has been a pivotal factor in driving the growth of the market.
However, the complex regulatory landscape introduces uncertainty for investors financing solar charging projects. Regulatory complexities may cause the acquisition of permits and approvals for solar charging infrastructure installation time-consuming and complex. Thus, lack of complex regulatory landscape can slow down the growth of the market.
