Amid the consequential uncertainties of an unregulated state of USB C type chargers, recently released specifications for type C connectors by USB-IF are likely to streamline the manufacturing which can further leverage full potential of this new USB interface.

Primarily, an exponential rise in smartphone adoption has fuelled the revenues of USB wall charger market in past decades. USB charging has become an indispensable requirement in commercial, residential as well as public infrastructures.

To meet the behemoth demand, multiple small and mid-sized players have emerged in the USB wall charger market, representing a highly fragmented landscape. Distinguished product offerings at an affordable cost and with features such as multi-port, higher output and universal application remain the primary focus of these players to maintain a competitive edge in the market.

A senior analyst at Fact.MR said, “Although talking about future of USB wall chargers seems outmoded, as tech-savvy consumers are eyeing on disruptive technologies like fast charging and wireless chargers, technology giants are still engaged in debugging the errors of current launches. As economic development plays a significant role in success of new technologies, with the expanding middle class, USB wall charger market is likely to witness stabilizing adoption in the future.”

Fact.MR studied the adoption of different types of USB wall chargers and their utilization across different applications. The estimations reveal that sales of 1 port USB wall chargers will continue to account for a greater share as compared to other multi-port chargers.

In 2018, nearly 5 in 10 USB wall chargers sold were with 1 UBS port feature. The higher sales are likely to continue as individual smartphone owners prefer 1 port USB wall charger. Low cost is another factor that drives the sales of 1 port USB wall chargers.

USB wall chargers with 2 ports accounted for over 2 in 10 chargers sold in 2018. As their sales grew at over 6% y-o-y, consumer preference for 2 port USB chargers are projected to rise rapidly in the future. Convenience of charging more than one device can be attributed to the projected rise in the sales of 2 port USB wall charger.

Growing Focus on Certified USB Chargers: Challenge for Unorganized Players, Opportunity for Leading Players

Marked preference by end-users for certified USB chargers is becoming more evident than ever. Consumer orientation toward quality than quantity is likely to favor the growth of leading players in the market. However, the unorganized players may face a decline in adoption of their products.

Prominent players such as Belkin International, Inc., Anker Technology Co. Limited, and Philips have ensured quality-based and standard certifications to enhance customer retention. A recent sampling and compliance project was held by Health Canada, wherein multiple numbers of uncertified USB chargers were tested and were found to pose unacceptable risks of electric shocks. Moreover, ‘The Certified USB Charger Initiative’ was designed with an objective of helping consumers get rid of low-quality or non-compliant USB chargers. Particulars, as such, are likely to make it tough for the unorganized manufacturers to scale up in terms of profits in the USB wall charger market space.

USB Wall Charger Sales Highly Consolidated among Individual Buyers

Fact.MR study estimates that purchase of USB wall chargers remains highly consolidated among individuals. Over 60% of the USB wall chargers were purchased by individuals in 2018.

Sales of these chargers remain comparatively lower in the commercial applications as individuals carry their personal chargers or prefer portable charger devices. However, in a bid to deliver convenience to office workers, adoption of USB wall chargers in commercial applications such as office infrastructures.
