Two growth waves define the decade

2025–2030: Standardization drives early surge

Between 2025 and 2030, the market is expected to expand from USD 33.4 billion to USD 68.4 billion, adding USD 35.0 billion—or 32.9% of the decade’s total growth. This phase is shaped by:

• Increasing mandatory adoption of USB Type-C in mobile devices and laptops driven by regulatory initiatives
• Growing integration in automotive infotainment and electric vehicle charging systems
• Rising demand for universal connectivity across peripherals, accessories, and charging ecosystems

2030–2035: Performance leap accelerates late-stage expansion

From 2030 to 2035, the market is forecast to grow from USD 68.4 billion to USD 139.9 billion, adding USD 71.5 billion—or 67.1% of total growth. Momentum in this period is expected to come from:

• Expansion of USB4 and Thunderbolt integration enabling higher-performance connectivity
• Advanced power delivery protocols supporting up to 240W charging
• Growth in specialized applications across AR devices, IoT ecosystems, and industrial automation
• Demand for intelligent power management and enhanced bandwidth solutions across device categories

What’s fueling demand—and what could slow it down

Primary growth drivers

• Regulatory push toward universal charging standards and reduced e-waste
• Consumer preference for single-cable convenience and cross-device compatibility
• Device makers consolidating ports while enabling fast charging + high-speed data + display
• Growing need for interoperability across smartphones, laptops, tablets, automotive systems, and peripherals

Key restraints

• Transition costs for manufacturers shifting away from legacy connectors
• Counterfeit and non-compliant cables that can compromise performance and safety
• Technical complexity around protocol negotiation and power delivery management
