Middle East Portable Solar Charger Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2020-2030)

The Portable Solar Charger is designed to trap solar energy and store it in a rechargeable battery to charge electronic devices. The portable solar charger is a mechanism to limit the over-current flow in the circuit and to prevent the draining of the battery and low voltage operation is incorporated into the system. Many low-voltage devices, including mobile phones, can be charged using this system and the charge in the battery is displayed with the help of an LCD and a microcontroller.

The portable solar charger market in the Middle East is growing rapidly due to several factors. There is an increasing awareness and concern about environmental issues, including the need for sustainable energy sources. Solar power is seen as a clean and renewable energy option, and portable solar chargers provide an easy and convenient way to harness solar energy on the go. Moreover, the growing demand for renewable resources is escalating the market size of portable solar chargers. Further, various manufacturers are developing portable solar chargers that are lightweight, high-quality, and affordable devices designed to meet the consumer's daily utility needs. For instance: In 2023, Namene launched the Zafi charger, an affordable lightweight solar charger that is capable of charging a range of portable devices - from phones to fan.

Based on the Type, the market is segmented into small portable chargers, foldable portable chargers, and backpack solar chargers. Small portable chargers cater significant share of portable solar chargers. The small portable charger is feasible and reliable for charging various electronic gadgets coupled with rechargeable products such as lanterns, lamps, torches, and batteries in order to increase energy access to people not connected to the electric grid. Moreover, the increasing use of various electronic surveillance equipment by the military is also boosting the demand for small portable chargers.

Based on the panel type, the market is segmented into monocrystalline solar chargers, polycrystalline solar chargers, and others. Among these, the monocrystalline panel caters significant share of the portable solar charger market. It is mainly owing to its durability and a higher energy efficiency rate of around 15-20%. In addition, monocrystalline panels are space-efficient, as they can produce more power per square foot and have the longest life compared to polycrystalline. Moreover, various players in the portable solar charger use monocrystalline panels as it has better heat tolerance, making them suitable for extreme heat conditions.

Based on the application, the market is segmented into individual consumers, defense, transportation, and others. Individual consumer segment caters to an extensive share of the market. It is mainly due to increasing outdoor activities such as biking, hiking, and mountain, especially in developed economies are driving its market growth.

For a better understanding of the market adoption of portable solar charger the market in middle east region is analyzed based on its presence in the countries of Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Rest of the Middle East). The Middle East is known for its high levels of solar radiation, making it an ideal region for solar power generation. The abundance of sunlight in the region creates a favorable environment for the use of solar chargers. Furthermore, the Middle East has a sizable population that relies heavily on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. These devices require regular charging, and portable solar chargers offer a convenient and reliable solution, especially in areas with limited access to electricity. The market for portable solar chargers in the Middle East is also supported by government initiatives and policies that promote the use of renewable energy sources. Several countries in the region, such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, have set ambitious renewable energy targets and are investing in projects to develop their solar power infrastructure. This creates a favorable environment for the adoption of portable solar chargers.

Some of the major players operating in the market include: Goal Zero, Voltaic Systems, Powertraveller International Ltd., Instapark, Gomadic Corporation, GigaWatt Inc., Renogy LLC, Suntactics, Zamp Solar, Jackery Inc.
