Wireless Charging is a process of electric power transfer from charging device/s or node to receiver devices powered by battery/ies and also equipment/s electrically without tangible wired power transfer. Wireless Charging Equipment consists of two components a charging system (Transmitter) which transmits electric power through the electromagnetic field and a Device Inbuilt Receiver which charges the battery. The Global Wireless Charging Market is estimated USD 9.79 billion in 2020 and anticipated to reach USD 71.4 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 22% during the forecast period. However, it has many industrial applications such as electric vehicles, handheld terminals, contactless charging of subsea vehicles, factory automation, etc. Industrial applications of wireless charging demand the workability of portable equipment and its wireless charging system in the harsh conditions. With the absence of wired power transmission, a wireless charging system can be impregnable to the industrial environment. Moreover, due to the absence of wired power transfer, the usage of wireless charging is safe from hazards such as electrocution & fire escalation because of stray spark during connecting & disconnecting wired power transfer cable. In terms of applications, consumer electronics is the dominant industry in the market due to rapid and efficient consumer electronics manufacturing. Manufacturers have been aiming mobile & rechargeable consumer electronics such as laptops and smartphones.
