The adoption of USB-C has been hindered by the long refresh cycles of products such as planes and cars as well as existing inventory, with companies often attempting to flog old Micro USB stock before updating to USB-C.
However, the situation is slowly changing, particularly in the European Union, which last year enacted a regulation stating that all new devices sold in the region must support USB-C charging, with the exception of laptops until 2026.
This is likely to lead to most new electronics having USB-C ports as many manufacturers want access to the EU market.
The USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) president and COO, Jeff Ravencraft, said that USB-C adoption is rapidly increasing andProjects that in the future USB-C will totally dominate.
