Structural shift of EV adoption toward longer-range BEVs needing infrequent but faster charge events is strengthening DC fast charging as the commercially chosen technology for public infrastructure investment.

 

Wireless Charging is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, driven by increasing investments in dynamic wireless charging for public transport and expanding standards for passenger vehicle inductive charging. Wireless charging for EVs removes physical cable connectors through resonant inductive power transfer between ground-embedded charging pads and vehicle-mounted receiver units, delivering power at outputs currently ranging from 3.7 kW for residential systems to 50–100 kW for commercial and bus applications under development.

 

Charger categories include:

•      AC Charging

•      DC Fast Charging (Largest Segment)

•      Wireless Charging (Highest CAGR Segment)

 

Analysis by Connector Type

GB/T held the largest market share in 2025 driven by its mandatory national charging standard in China, the world's largest EV market accounting for approximately 60% of global EV sales and the largest installed base of public charging infrastructure globally. China's Standardization Administration mandates GB/T connectors for all publicly accessible EV charging equipment within the country under GB/T 20234 standards, which govern both AC and DC fast charging connector specifications.

 

CCS (Combined Charging System) is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR throughout the forecast period, driven by accelerating adoption across European, North American, and rising Asian markets as the de facto interoperable DC fast charging standard for non-Chinese OEMs. CCS Type 1 (SAE J1772-based) dominates in North America, while CCS Type 2 (IEC 62196-based) is the standard in Europe, with AFIR mandates needing CCS compatibility at all publicly funded fast charging installations across EU member states. Key global automakers including Volkswagen Group, Stellantis, BMW Group, Ford Motor Company, and Hyundai Motor Group have standardized their global EV platforms on CCS connectivity, driving proportional infrastructure demand.
