Norway has a high level of digitalization, a well-developed electronic payment environment, and abundant tourism resources, creating favorable conditions for shared power bank services. According to Statistics Norway, commercial accommodation establishments recorded approximately 40.6 million overnight stays nationwide in 2025, including 14.2 million overnight stays by international visitors, representing year-on-year growth of 14%.

I. Insights into the Shared Power Bank Market in Norway

The Norwegian shared power bank market is currently served mainly by regional platforms. Nordic cross-border platform Lxxx operates more than 3,000 locations across Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway, and has expanded into retail channels such as 7-Eleven. European platform Bxxx operates in more than 25 countries and supports both card payments and QR code rentals. Pxxx operates across an eight-country network and has established stations in restaurants and hotels in Oslo.

No dominant local Norwegian operator has emerged yet, and the overall market is far from monopolized. Existing stations are concentrated mainly in central Oslo and major transport hubs. However, Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, and popular fjord destinations still have relatively low market penetration. This leaves clearly identifiable opportunities for expanding shared power bank services across Norway.

Litashared, an international brand serving overseas markets, is an established provider in Norway's shared power bank market. Many Norwegian entrepreneurs and investors use its private-label customization services for software and hardware equipment to build their own local brands and operate their networks independently. Existing deployments cover areas such as Karl Johans gate, Aker Brygge, and Oslo Central Station, serving bars, restaurants, hotels, and transport hubs.

Key Advantages:

• Brand customization and project training: Provides OEM/ODM private-label customization services and project implementation and operational training.

• Payment integration: Supports international payment methods such as Visa and Mastercard, pricing in Norwegian kroner (NOK), and integration with the Vipps mobile wallet.

• Compliance support: Helps prepare for applicable certifications and regulatory requirements, including CE, RoHS, battery regulations, and WEEE registration for electronic waste, helping reduce compliance costs.

II. Multi-Scenario Deployment of Shared Power Banks in Norway

1. Priority Areas

It is recommended to start in Oslo before gradually expanding into Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, and Tromsø.

Oslo has an airport, a central railway station, commercial streets, and a vibrant nightlife scene. It is therefore suitable for initial deployment and testing of device utilization rates.

In Bergen, deployment can focus on the port, fjord tourism, and commercial areas in the city center. Trondheim is suitable for expansion into university campuses and dining venues. In Tromsø, stations can be deployed seasonally around Northern Lights tourism and winter activities, with equipment allocation adjusted according to visitor traffic.

2. Deployment Scenarios

Deployment can begin in bars, nightclubs, cafés, restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, and transport hubs.

Specific priority locations in Oslo include Karl Johans gate, Aker Brygge, Oslo Central Station, and Oslo Airport. Operators should also explore Bryggen in Bergen and Torvet in central Trondheim.

Other opportunities include music festivals, sports venues, and winter tourism events.

By establishing revenue-sharing partnerships with capable local distributors, venue owners, and merchants in Norway, operators can gradually secure premium locations and expand their station network.
