The global micro-mobility charging infrastructure market size was valued at USD 27.70 billion in 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.9% from 2023 to 2030. Increasing awareness about green transportation modes is expected to drive the adoption of micro-mobility vehicles across the globe. An increasing number of people are preferring e-scooters for traveling over shorter distances as these vehicles take less parking space and can recharge within a shorter time.
Additionally, several charging stations for e-scooters provide a dedicated parking space, which helps reduce traffic congestion. Furthermore, these charging stations can be efficiently designed as per the available space and are adaptable to any e-scooter design. These factors are expected to create growth opportunities for the market over the forecast period.
The growing preference for wireless charging stations to charge micro-mobility vehicles at a faster rate with more convenience is expected to drive the demand for wireless charging stations. Several companies are also launching intelligent dock systems called wireless charging systems that work both indoors and outdoors. For instance, in May 2020, Magment GmbH, a charging station provider, launched its intelligent wireless charging systems to provide flexible wireless charging to e-scooters. These wireless charging stations can be easily installed near streetlamps, parks, and electronic advertisement boxes.
The introduction of solar-powered charging stations with smart parking systems is expected to create growth opportunities for the micro-mobility charging infrastructure market. Market players are also focusing on developing and providing solar-powered charging stations for e-scooters. Solar-powered charging stations help to charge network operators to reduce their dependency on grid stations. For instance, in October 2020, Swiftmile Inc introduced free solar-powered charging stations across various locations in the U.S.
The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to adversely impact the market. The market suffered during the pandemic but is expected to witness growth opportunities in the near future as citizens avoid public transport amid the pandemic. Moreover, the demand for wireless charging stations has increased as they offer touchless operations and help eliminate the risk of spreading the virus.
