IHS Technology: Five Wireless Power Predictions for 2016
January 7, 2016 | IHSEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
According to IHS forecasts, in 2016 the one-millionth wireless charger will be installed into public infrastructure. As the rollout picks up speed, however, not all of them are still functioning or in use. As the proportion of consumers with wireless-charging-enabled mobile phones rises, so does the potential for hotels, restaurants and other businesses to entice them with offers of free and convenient power.
5. At least one OEM commitment to uncoupled technology
Uncoupled wireless charging technology is not a direct competitor to tightly or loosely coupled technologies. Instead there will be a divergence between sessions of high power at small distances (i.e., tightly or loosely coupled) and continuous low power at higher distances (i.e., uncoupled). 2016 will be the year development changes focus. Internet of Things (IoT) applications play on the strengths of uncoupled technology, too.
“We do not expect mainstream product launches of uncoupled wireless-charging receivers; arguably those will not enter the market until 2017, at the earliest,” Green said. “However, in 2016 we expect to see at least one major original equipment manufacturer sign development agreements within the uncoupled space.”
