Wireless phone charging market led by the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Nokia Lumia

The wireless phone charging market has been forecast to reach a total of $33.6 billion by the end of 2019, increasing from a value of $3 million in 2012.

As people move to mobile devices and mobile computing, they tend to use their smart phones and tablets to access apps. These power-intensive applications mean charging of devices becomes a significant aspect of doing business.

Charging can be done anywhere just by setting the phone down, inductive charges will be in restaurants, kiosks, tables, night stands, hotels, airports, and public places.
