Emerging Technology Trend: In-Vehicle Wireless Charging

The market for wireless device charging is predicted to grow rapidly not only for consumer devices but also for in-vehicle applications in the next decade. In-vehicle wireless charging systems allow car drivers and passengers to recharge the battery of their mobile device by simply setting it on a charging pad rather than plugging the device into the cigarette lighter, 12v charger, or USB port. This solution is more convenient than the traditional approach and is a nice feature to have in the car. This insight will provide an overview of current status of in-vehicle wireless charging applications in the automotive segment, as well as some future perspectives on the market.
