The wireless EV charging market size was valued at USD 13.1 million in 2022, and is expected to reach USD 567.7 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 55.6% from 2023 to 2030. In terms of volume, the market comprised 3,626 units in 2022, and is anticipated to escalate to 231,693 units by 2030, registering a substantial CAGR of 63.1% from 2023 to 2030.
Wireless electric vehicle charging (WEVC) represents a cutting-edge technological breakthrough, enabling EVs to recharge their batteries without the constraints of conventional cables and plugs. This pioneering approach leverages the principles of electromagnetic induction or resonant magnetic coupling, facilitating the seamless wireless transfer of energy from a dedicated charging pad to the EV. Consequently, this innovation provides EV owners with a streamlined and efficient means of battery replenishment. By eliminating the requirement for manually inserting and removing plugs, this system offers a convenient and highly efficient charging experience. This efficiency, in turn, plays a pivotal role in fostering the widespread adoption of EVs. The wireless EV charging infrastructure comprises a strategically positioned ground-based charging pad or coil, thoughtfully deployed by charging infrastructure providers within the dedicated parking spaces for these eco-friendly vehicles.
Upon positioning an EV with a compatible receiver pad above the designated charging pad, an intricate interplay of magnetic fields ensues. This magnetic interaction orchestrates the seamless transmission of energy from the ground pad to the vehicle's receiver pad, effectively initiating the charging process. This process takes place without the need for any physical wire or cable connections.
The surge in EV demand, driven by the rising fuel costs and a strong environmental focus, is propelling the growth of the wireless EV charging market. According to the latest report published by the Center for Sustainable Energy, over 3.67 million plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have been sold in the U.S. from 2010 to 2022. Moreover, the growing government initiatives such as grants and tax credits to promote the adoption of EVs and the construction of charging infrastructure are further boosting the growth of the WEVC market. For instance, the government of the U.K. announced substantial funding of USD 21 million under the ChargePoint scheme in August 2022. This funding initiative aims to address the increasing demand for EV chargers by enabling the installation of over 1,000 new EV charge points across the country. Moreover, the rapid progress in wireless charging technology coupled with growing collaboration among top players to develop advanced wireless charging technologies are further driving the growth of the wireless EV charging market. For instance, in March 2023, Israeli wireless charging tech firm Electreon joined forces with Toyota Motor and Denso to develop advanced wireless charging solutions. This partnership aligns with their shared mission for carbon neutrality in the automotive sector. It is also aimed to accelerate the adoption of EVs and drive a more eco-friendly and sustainable transportation landscape.
However, the adoption of wireless EV charging is impeded by the challenges such as high initial costs and slower charging rates. These factors pose substantial restraints in the global wireless EV charging market growth. The substantial investment required for developing and deploying wireless charging infrastructure and the slower charging speeds compared to traditional wired charging present barriers to widespread acceptance, particularly for budget-conscious consumers and commercial fleet operators.
On the contrary, wireless EV charging market players are developing dynamic wireless charging infrastructure for EVs that allow these vehicles to charge while in motion. This factor is expected to create ample opportunities for the market in the coming years.
