Wireless Charging Moving Toward ‘Mainstream Usage’ in 2017, Says IDT CEO

Components supplier Integrated Device Technology thinks wireless charging will move “from early adopters to mainstream usage starting late this calendar year, and that this trend continues throughout 2018,” said CEO Greg Waters on a Monday earnings call. “Wireless charging is probably kind of in an in-between phase right now, but we do see a meaningfully increase” in consumer adoption coming later in 2017, he said.
