USB-C GaN charger market trends and new product launches

Overview

The market for USB-C charging technology, specifically utilizing Gallium Nitride (GaN) for compact and efficient power delivery, shows continued consumer interest through product reviews and retail promotions. Recent retail activity on Amazon includes discounts on high-performance 65W GaN chargers from Baseus and UGREEN, as well as high-power solutions like the AOHI Magcube 140W. Specifically, the Baseus 65W model, featuring two USB-C and one USB-A port, and the UGREEN Nexode 65W, which utilizes ThermalGuard 2.0 to protect against overheating, have seen price reductions. In mid-September, Elecom Co., Ltd. released new dual-port USB Type-C AC chargers in Japan. The lineup includes a 20W USB Power Delivery model and a 30W model that supports both USB Power Delivery and PPS. The 30W model utilizes GaN II Plus technology for a more compact size and includes Thermal Protection. Both models feature foldable plugs and are available in white or a ‘Shiro-chan’ design. Further retail activity on Amazon shows significant discounts on 65W chargers. The Anker Nano II 65W, which uses GaN-II technology to be 58 percent smaller than standard chargers, has seen price reductions. Additionally, a Baseus 65W model featuring two USB-C ports and one USB-A port is available at a discount; this model utilizes GaN technology to achieve a footprint approximately 45 percent smaller than comparable chargers and supports PD 3.0, QC 3.0+, and PPS. In late September, Amazon promotions in Europe featured the Anker Nano II 65W at 19.97 Euro, noted for its ability to charge a MacBook Air in under two hours, and a Baseus 65W model priced at 17.98 Euro. In the US, Anker has offered a 100W GaN wall charger with a smart display for $59.99, reduced from $69.99. This unit includes a foldable plug and a 4.9-foot USB-C to USB-C cable.
