The global solar mobile charger market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period. The global solar mobile charger can charge lead acid or Ni-Cd battery banks up to 48 V. Such type of solar charger setups generally uses an intelligent charge controller. A series of solar cells are installed in a stationary location and can be connected to a battery bank to store energy for off-peak usage. They can also be used in addition to mains-supply chargers for energy saving during the daytime. The solar battery chargers are perfect for rural settings without electricity. Solar power is an effective solution for those who vandalize electrical power lines. The solar cell panel on the solar charger does not require much maintenance once they are brought up to its extreme efficiency. Apart from that, the solar cell panel is very reliable as it can last longer than other sources of energy. The solar charger is very environmentally friendly which enables in reduction of global warming and the greenhouse effect and also does emit zero pollution. It also aids in reducing costs such as electric bills as the solar charger source of energy is free. The solar charger also operates quietly and this does not contribute to noise pollution.

The rising electric vehicle market is expected to boost the solar mobile charger market in the forecast time. An electrical vehicle is a battery-powered vehicle. The vehicle gets energy from the battery the place of any fossil fuel. As per International Energy Agency, about 750 thousand electric vehicles were sold in 2016 globally. The countries such as Norway have 29.0% market share of Electric vehicles. Netherland and Sweden have the 6.4% and 3.4% respectively market shares of e-vehicle in 2016. China is the largest market for electric vehicles in 2016 with about 40.0% of the global market share. It is expected that the electric vehicle market will grow ata very fast pace. The number of electric vehicle sales can be between 9 million to 20 million in 2020 and 40-70 million in 2025. The increasing number of electric vehicles will increase the need for electric vehicle chargers in the near future.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Solar Mobile Charger Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a considerable impact on the Solar Mobile Charger market. The spread of COVID-19 had a detrimental influence on the market due to supply chain disruptions as a result of protracted plant closures around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has broken out, and the situation is still uncertain. However, there are facts to consider. Lockdowns in several countries restricted the production and sales of EVs, which also negatively impacted the growth of the EV battery market. For instance, in February 2020, automotive industry sales plummeted 79.0% in China due to the coronavirus outbreak. With the spread of COVID-19 in the other parts of the globe, production plants were shut down along with the retail EV outlet. In China, Tesla’s plant was closed for 10 days in February. On 23rd March, the company has to stop production in its California, US plant.

The Transportation Segment is Anticipated to Hold Prominent Share in the Global Solar Mobile ChargerMarket

The transportation segment is expected to hold a prominent share. The market is driven by increasing awareness regarding the EV across the globe. Further, the rising environmental concerns and increasing government support will continue to boost electric mobility, which is expanding at a rapid pace. For instance, Norway is planning to phase out conventional cars by 2025, followed by France and UK in 2040 and 2050, respectively. Moreover, in October 2017, Germany’s Bundesrat passed a resolution to ban IC engine-based vehicles by 2030. Additionally, to keep the mobility sector going, market players and the governments are pushing the plan for rolling out EVs and hybrid vehicles on road. In 2020, the Government of France had announced to ban sales of new fossil fuel cars by 2040. Moreover, it has also announced a target of a fleet size of 500,000 PHEV and 600,000 battery-based EVs by 2023. 

Regional Outlooks

The global solar mobile charger market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East &Africa, and Latin America).  The market can be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement. Among these, the North American regional market is expected to cater to considerable growth during the forecast period.
