Qi has entered mainstream consumer adoption and quickly solidified its position as market leader
With new Qi installations in airports, public venues, office buildings, restaurants, hotels and cars, the installed base of Qi-enabled wireless charging spots has increased to more than 30 countries and one million locations.
Qi’s success is due to our 200-plus member companies that are fueling exciting innovation of the Qi standard, building unique Qi products and developing Qi-based business services. Our members are driving the accelerated adoption of wireless charging by consumers and businesses around the globe.
With more than 65 Qi-compatible mobile phone models and more than 500 different Qi products, the deployed base and industry commitment to the Qi standard has expanded to 50 million devices, allowing users to experience the utility and convenience of wireless charging and related services. Even users of handsets such as iPhone which don't currently feature wireless charging compatibility can enjoy the convenience of wireless charging by using one of aircharge's wireless charging adaptors.
