Fast Charging has become almost a standard feature.
-
Smartphones with fast charging (>10 watts) accounted for almost 80% of global smartphone sales in Q1 2023, compared to 74% in Q1 2022.
-
In Q1 2023, the average power for fast-charging smartphones globally reached 34W, compared to 30W in Q1 2022.
-
Chinese smartphone brands are leading this trend by introducing higher-wattage charging across different price points.

-
Notably, this also ties well with our Consumer survey done earlier this year. According to the findings,
- 65% of smartphone users go through emotional discomfort due to battery drainage.
- 72% of the respondents start feeling anxious at a battery level of 20% or less*.
-
This makes sense considering how important a smartphone has become with people spending 4 to 5 hours a day on their smartphones. This has resulted in NoMoPhobia.
-
Hence consumers are looking for both - a long lasting battery as well as fast charging.
