The shifting focus on the deployment of renewable power infrastructure has resulted in the widespread installation of solar power plants globally. Although solar power generation is a sustainable model of power production, solar panels after the end of their lifecycle need to be recycled. On average, the life span of a solar panel is about 20-30 years. Solar panels contain toxic substances that can be harmful to the environment, if disposed of in landfills, thus, defeating the purpose of making solar energy sustainable. Therefore, the recycling of used solar panels is necessary. The cumulative solar power generation stood at 584.6 TWh, at the end of 2018. Major countries witnessed widespread adoption of solar panels, as a result of the declining cost and increased focus on the usage of clean energy. With the increasing installation of solar panels and growing environmental concerns, the market studied is expected to augment during the forecast period.

Wireless power transmission involves the transfer of electrical power from transmitter to receiver without any wired connection. Introduction of smart charging mats and newly launched ground pads specifically for electric vehicles increases the demand for wireless charging systems globally. Increase in sales of electric vehicles (EVs), constant advancements in portable electronics as well as wearables, and frequent need for harvesting ambient RF energy are expected to drive the growth of the global wireless electric vehicle charging market during the forecast period. However, expensive technology for its integration and slower charging as compared to other charging technologies hamper the market growth. The wireless electric vehicle charging market is segmented on the basis of power source, installation, distribution channel, vehicle type, and region. The power source segment is divided into 3≤11 kW, 11–50 kW, and >50 kW. Based on installation, the market is bifurcated into home and commercial. Depending on distribution channel, it is segregated into OEMs and aftermarket. The vehicle type segment is classified into battery electric vehicles (BEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), and commercial electric vehicles. Region wise, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
