Growing demand for efficient and competitive energy resources is likely to propel market installations growth over the coming years. In addition, changing consumer lifestyle and a rising number of power outages are projected to propel utilization in the residential sector. Of the additional capacity estimated to be installed, more than half is expected to be devoted to energy-shifting applications consisting of utility-scale energy storage solutions to perform arbitrages and provide capacity to meet demand peaks.

By Technology: According to the report, the global energy storage system market is segmented into four technology: Pumped Hydro, Electrochemical Storage, Thermal Storage and Electromechanical Storage. Pumped Hydro segment acquired majority of share in the market in 2022 as there are ongoing investments in North America and Asia Pacific to modernize energy infrastructure and boost on-grid capacity are projected to benefit the pumped hydro market. Whereas, the Electromechanical Storage segment has the fastest CAGR as the growing demand for dependable and efficient energy storage systems has prompted the use of electromechanical energy storage system.

By Ends User: According to the report, the global energy storage system market is bifurcated into three end users: Utilities, Non Residential and Residential. Utilities segment acquired majority of share in the market in 2022, due to increased investment in utility size power plants. In addition, the utilities industry is growing due to an increase in construction projects such as decentralized renewable power plants, rural electrification projects, and commercial buildings. Whereas, Non Residential segment is expected to have the highest CAGR in the future as the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector is using renewable energy sources like solar and wind power more and more to power their own buildings. So, the C&I sector is likely to use energy storage systems more and more to increase the amount of renewable energy it uses.

By Region: The report provides insight into the energy storage system market based on the geographical operations, namely North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. Asia Pacific energy storage system market enjoyed the highest market share in 2022, primarily can be traced mostly to the region's rapidly expanding demand for energy as a result of rapid urbanization. Further, the rapid growth in industrialization in the countries such as India, China, Korea, and so on is also accelerating energy consumption on a huge level that is also projected to contribute to the market growth in the region. Rapid urbanization and population increase are also taking place in the developing countries, increasing the demand for power. India plans to have 275 GW of total wind and solar capacity, as well as 72 GW of hydroelectricity and 15 GW of nuclear power, by 2027. Also, the global cumulative ESS market installations is segmented by region (The US, Germany, UK, China and Rest of the World). China and the US became the largest markets, accounting for over half of the global installation in 2022.

Global Energy Storage System Market Dynamics:

Growth Drivers: With reference to renewable energy sources, energy storage systems are complementary to solar and wind energy production as they help address the issue of weather intermittency, which is a major problem in renewables at both the local and grid levels. Therefore, an increase in demand for sustainable energy sources would probably trigger higher demand for energy storage system. Further, the market is expected to increase due to rising demand for electric vehicles, upsurge in investments in renewable energy, mounting home improvement, higher energy costs, surge in the demand for batteries, etc.

Challenges: The supply chain for energy storage systems involves various components, raw materials, manufacturing processes, and global logistics. Energy relies on a large number of outsourced components which allows it to focus more on the value-added activities such as design and engineering. The other challenge that energy storage system market faces is safety risks associated with lack of proper infrastructure, etc.

Trends: A major trend gaining pace in energy storage system market is Thermal Energy Storage (TES). Thermal energy storage entails storing and releasing thermal energy for later use, allowing energy consumption to be shifted to more efficient or cost-effective time periods. TES systems are critical in the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid. Because renewable energy generation, such as solar and wind, is intermittent and weather dependent, TES assists in overcoming the fluctuation and mismatch between energy supply and demand. More trends in the market are believed to augment the growth of energy storage system market during the forecasted period include, government initiatives, technology advancements, sustainability, etc.

Impact Analysis of COVID-19 and Way Forward:

The global spread of coronavirus and the ensuing lockdown in several countries have had a severe influence on the global energy storage systems business. This has affected the supply chain, slowing automobile production around the world. Manufacturers in the global energy storage market are recovering from losses caused by disrupted ecosystems and a reduction in the installation of battery energy storage systems worldwide. Following a successful business recovery, players in the global energy storage systems market are focusing on boosting production capacity in order to reap revenue gains. The increasing production of electric vehicles will play a significant role in the growth of the global energy storage systems market in the future years.
