iFORWAY's One-Stop OEM & ODM Solutions for Portable Power Stations

In today’s fiercely competitive energy market, B2B clients are increasingly looking for customized portable power station solutions that can help them launch faster, reduce R&D costs, and stand out from the crowd. Whether you're seeking to quickly bring a rebranded product to market or co-develop a tailor-made solution, iFORWAY offers comprehensive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) services that meet your exact business needs.

This blog will break down the differences between OEM and ODM, explain best practices in the energy hardware sector, and highlight how iFORWAY empowers B2B clients through professional design, manufacturing, and delivery.

1. Market Background & Growth Potential

As the global demand for clean, off-grid, and emergency power grows, the portable power station market is booming. In 2023, the global market was valued at approximately $610 million and is expected to surpass $1.74 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 16.7%.

Growth drivers include:

• Increasing frequency of blackouts and natural disasters

• Government investment in electrification of remote areas

• Growing outdoor, professional, and recreational power demands

These factors are pushing businesses to look for fast, reliable, and customizable energy solutions—especially those they can market under their own brand.

2. OEM vs ODM: What’s the Difference?

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)

In the OEM model, the client owns the product design and specifications, while iFORWAY handles the mass manufacturing and applies the client’s branding. It’s ideal for clients who want full control over product architecture and intellectual property but lack in-house production capability.

ODM (Original Design Manufacturer)

ODM offers a turnkey solution: iFORWAY handles the full scope from concept, product design, and prototyping to final production. Clients can either select from our existing solutions or work with us to develop a semi-custom version. This is ideal for businesses that want to enter the market quickly without investing heavily in R&D.
