Global Power Bank Market Grows Steadily at a CAGR of 3.92%

A power bank is a portable battery with an energy storage circuit that can be charged from an external source and discharged when the user needs power. These devices are currently fashionable across the globe as a result of the increased adoption of digital products. The demand for them among tech-savvy consumers is also fueled by their distinctive qualities, such as portability, versatility, fast charging, and low price. A power bank is the best option to prevent the device from turning off in the event of a prolonged power outage or an erratic electricity supply.

Market Dynamics

Rising Demand for Smartphones Drives the Global Market

The rapid expansion of the internet and the pervasive use of social networking sites in China, India, and Indonesia contribute to accelerating smartphone adoption. The prevalence of online banking and shopping has also increased consumer demand for smartphones, which has boosted the power banks’ market. Due to increased internet usage, rapid connectivity, and the installation of power-hungry apps, mobile phone batteries deplete quickly. The global power bank market is expected to grow due to the rising use of power banks to extend the battery life of smartphones.

Growing Use of Hydrogen and Solar Cells Creates Tremendous Opportunities

Solar and hydrogen cell technology will eliminate the need for electric power in power banks. These cells further the green energy movement by encouraging the use of renewable energy sources. Solar and hydrogen cells are expected to transform and expand the power bank's functionality from a backup/plug-in charger to an entirely new independent energy source to attract new clients and user groups. As a result, it is predicted that incorporating solar and hydrogen cells into power banks will create lucrative market expansion opportunities.
