Battery Chargers 2016

Global market for Battery Chargers is projected to reach US$16 billion by 2020 (according to Global Industry
Analysts, Inc., (GIA)) , driven by the growing demand for battery-powered electronic devices and equipment.
Emergence of new classes of Batteries based on innovative materials is giving rise to increased demand for
sophisticated charging mechanisms capable of improving charging speed and ensuring safety. Especially poised to
benefit are safe chargers that prevent overvoltage and protect the battery and electronic device during charging.
Growth in Asia-Pacific, a major market, is led by rising standard of living, huge population base, and adoption of
mobile phones and electric vehicles.
Battery chargers are devices that integrate charge control circuitry to charge batteries for electronic devices. A battery
charger is distinct from an external power supply, which is an external electrical device that is used to convert
household AC electric current into DC current or low-voltage AC current to provide power to a device. Over the years,
battery chargers have become more powerful, safer, and faster, yet increasingly smaller and affordable. Battery
chargers are used by numerous devices such as laptops, smartphones, feature phones, EVs, tablets, DSCs, music
players, portable gaming devices, smartwatches and power grids.
Technavio's analysts forecast the global battery chargers market to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% over the period 20142019.
