COVID Banner:
The COVID-19 crisis is creating uncertainty in the stock market due to immense slow-down in the supply chain of various business, falling business confidence, and increasing panic among the customer segments. The overall impact of the pandemic is impacting the production process of several industries including semiconductor and electronics, and many more. Trade barriers are further constraining the demand and supply outlook. As the governments of different countries have already announced total lockdown and temporary shutdown of industries, the overall production process is adversely affected.
COVID-19 is having a large impact on both consumer and the economy. Electronics manufacturing hubs have been temporarily shut down to limit the COVID-19 spread among the individuals. This has majorly affected the supply chain of semiconductor market by creating shortages of materials, components, and finished goods. Lack of business continuity has ensured significant negative impacts on revenue, shareholder returns, and revenue, which are expected to create financial disruptions in the compound semiconductor industry.
By Distribution Channel
Online segment is projected as one of the most lucrative segments.
Rechargeable batteries have become a trend for battery development. Even during the COVID-19 lockdown, demand for rechargeable batteries has risen particularly in Europe. However, the pandemic has resulted in limited production leading to a serious decline in business inputs. The market for 2020 has witnessed a sudden decrease due to COVID-19, which has majorly affected the R&D and supply chain of power banks. In addition, this factor is expected to affect the planned investments by companies globally in the market. Furthermore, the per capita income of individuals has also been affected due to this pandemic, which has led to decrease in demand for consumer electronics accessories such as power banks and other mobile phone accessories.
Top Impacting Factors
Factors affecting the growth of the global power bank market include rise in demand for smartphones across the globe and reduced cost of power banks and increase in demand of power banks for laptops & wearable devices. However, the emergence of wireless charging technology for smartphones and increasing preference toward rental power banks among users has a significant negative impact on the market growth. Furthermore, increase in use of solar and hydrogen cells in power banks, strong distribution network and emerging trends toward wireless power banks act as the key impacting factors.
Increase in demand of power banks for laptops and wearable devices
By Price Range
Mid-Range segment is expected to secure leading position during forecast period.
Laptop chargers have several features such as lightweight, efficient power outputs and promote fast charging. Most of the laptop chargers support several laptops up to 60 watts. Latest technology in laptop chargers promotes usage of LED indicators, which displays battery percentage and charging status.
