Grid-Scale Electricity Storage Technologies: Global Markets

Report Scope

This report provides an analysis of the global market for grid-scale electricity storage technologies, reflecting the latest data, trends and market projections. The global market for grid-scale electricity storage technologies is segmented by technology (lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, flow batteries, sodium-ion batteries and others, which include nickel-based, solid state and zinc batteries); type (utility scale, behind-the-meter); application (utility scale, energy shifting and capacity provision, ancillary services and congestion management, behind-the-meter (commercial, industrial (manufacturing and heavy industry, mining, data centers, agriculture and others; and region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World. The base year for the study is 2023 with estimates and forecasts for 2024 to 2029.

The report focuses on battery energy storage technologies; other storage technologies, such as pumped hydro, compressed air energy, flywheel and thermal energy are outside the scope of the report. When estimating the grid-scale electricity storage technologies market, transportation and residential sectors/deployments have also been excluded. The major focus segments are utility-scale and behind-the-meter. Energy shifting and capacity provision is a broader categorization that includes load shifting, energy arbitrage, peak demand management, uninterrupted supply of power and microgrid support. Commercial applications include retail stores, office buildings, schools, hospitals, data centers and hotels. Industrial applications include factories, warehouses, large-scale manufacturing plants and chemical plants. Manufacturing and heavy industry is a broader categorization of iron, steel, cement, chemical and petrochemical, auto, aluminum and non-ferrous metals. Where available, global capacities are presented to characterize the annual installation in the dominant locations.

Market estimates are valued in U.S. dollars (millions). Electricity storage system cost is in $/KWh, from sources such as the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Weighted average was used to balance the price variation in different regions. Forecast growth rates are based on expected capacity additions across the industry, feedback received from key industry players, revenue reported by major companies and anticipated regulatory updates. The report concentrates on grid-scale electricity storage technologies currently in commercial use; other promising technologies that are not likely to make it out of the laboratory are not covered. The values of the system in GWh were further converted into revenue in order to determine the market size. The grid-scale electricity storage technologies include batteries, energy management systems, power conversion systems, and safety mechanisms.
