With a smartphone penetration rate exceeding 90%, over one million people in the UK face battery anxiety every day, while the coverage rate of power bank sharing stations remains under 1%. This £1 billion blue ocean market is quickly becoming the new battlefield for Chinese enterprises going global.

1. UK Power Bank Sharing Station Market Analysis

In 2023, the UK mobile power bank market reached USD 62.63 million and is expected to grow to USD 83.70 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 3.8%. Compared to traditional power bank sales, the power bank sharing station segment is growing much faster—with a projected CAGR of 22% from 2024 to 2030—making it the fastest-growing sub-sector in the UK mobile energy industry.

(1) Low Saturation and High Coverage Gap

Currently, power bank sharing stations are mainly concentrated in major cities such as London and Manchester, as well as popular tourist areas, while small and medium-sized towns remain virtually untapped. Across the UK, the total number of devices from leading operators is only 3,000–5,000 units, whereas in China, a single brand can exceed one million units. With a market development rate of less than 1%, early movers will enjoy first-mover advantages and significant market share potential.

(2) High Profit Margins

Rental rates for power bank sharing stations in the UK are significantly higher than in China:

• Hourly rental rate: £2–3 (approx. RMB 16–25)

• Monthly revenue per unit at prime locations: £200+

• Annual revenue for 1,000 units: £3 million+

This business model offers a short payback period and high scalability.

(3) Strong Demand

The UK’s smartphone penetration exceeds 90%. Cities such as London have extremely high population density (London: ~9 million residents) and the UK welcomes 40 million+ tourists annually.
Most existing public charging facilities are fixed “charging lockers” that require users to lock their phones inside, making it impossible to use the device while charging. This poor user experience leaves ample room for power bank sharing stations to thrive.
