Thermal Energy Storage Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2023-2030 - By Product, Technology, Grade, Application, End-user, Region: (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa)
The global thermal energy storage market is witnessing remarkable growth with the widespread adoption of thermal energy storage systems for solar thermal energy storage, cooling, heating applications, and power generation. These storage systems play a critical role in storing solar heat, which is utilized for electricity generation in concentrating solar power (CSP) plants during periods without sunlight. The numerous benefits of thermal energy storage, such as better reliability, cost-efficiency, lower investments, operating expenses, and enhanced overall efficiency, are driving the expansion of the global thermal energy storage market. During the forecast period, favorable government initiatives and extensive deployment of thermal energy plants are expected to accelerate the development of the thermal energy storage market.
Soaring Demand for Solar Energy Generation Drives Market ExpansionGovernments, energy authorities, and utilities worldwide are actively seeking ways to limit the rise in global temperatures by reducing carbon emissions. The power generation sector is a major contributor to carbon emissions, making decarbonization imperative. To achieve this, there is a significant demand for solar energy generation as part of the efforts to attain net-zero emissions in the coming years. These factors are driving influential growth for the global thermal energy storage market. As the market scales further, favorable federal policy mechanisms, such as Investment Tax Credit for solar power, are expected to encourage the adoption of solar energy.
Increased Use of Sensible Heat Storage Fuels Market GrowthIn recent times, the sensible heat storage segment is witnessing strong momentum in the thermal heat storage market. Sensible heat storage systems have the capability to shift the temperature of a storage medium without a phase change. These systems efficiently exchange and retain solar energy as sensible heat in a storage medium, making them ideal for storing thermal energy. Sensible heat storage is the most common, easiest, cost-effective, and long-standing method, which has resulted in a surge in demand for solar thermal systems, especially in large-scale HVAC systems. These factors collectively contribute to remarkable growth prospects in the global thermal energy storage market.
Europe Leads the Market with Accelerated Demand for Renewable EnergyOver the past decade, Europe has been at the forefront of implementing numerous thermal energy storage systems in urban areas.
