Energy Storage Market, by Type (Batteries, Pumped-storage Hydroelectricity, Thermal Energy Storage, Flywheel Energy Storage, and Others), By Application (Commercial & Industrial, and Residential), and by Region (North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific, The Middle East, and Africa) - Size, Share, COVID Impact Analysis, Growth, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2020 - 2028

Energy storage is the practise of storing energy for future use rather than immediately utilising it. Energy storage systems allow energy to be absorbed and stored from many sources, such as the electrical grid and renewable energy systems (solar and wind power), and then released when needed. The stored energy can be used for a variety of things, including as emergency power during power failures, load reduction to reduce peak demand on the electrical grid, and ensuring system stability by balancing supply and demand. Two types of energy storage systems include large-scale pumped hydro storage and compressed air energy storage systems. Another possibility is small-scale battery storage for residences and commercial buildings.

In 2020, the Energy Storage market was valued at US$ YY million, and it is anticipated to be around US$ YY million by 2027. Over the forecast period, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of YY%.

Rising usage of renewable energy sources and declining energy storage technology costs are the drivers, but regulatory barriers are the restraint

The need for energy storage technologies is anticipated to rise as more nations switch to renewable energy. Energy storage systems are needed since these sources are frequently irregular and cannot guarantee a constant flow of electricity. For instance, the Indian government announced plans to install 450 GW of renewable energy by 2030 in 2021. This is anticipated to increase demand in the country for energy storage technologies. Energy storage technologies, such lithium-ion batteries, have become more and more readily available and inexpensive, which is increasing demand for these solutions. For instance, Tesla revealed plans to cut the price of its lithium-ion batteries in half over the course of three years in 2021, making energy storage solutions more accessible.

However, in certain markets, policies that discourage the use of energy storage devices could hinder their uptake. For instance, in 2021, in response to complaints about the limitations of the current structure, the Australian Energy Market Commission proposed changes to the regulatory framework to encourage the deployment of energy storage technology.

Batteries segment is expected to account for significant market share by application segment

The global Energy Storage market is mainly classified based on Type, and Application. On the basis of Type, the market is categorized into batteries, pumped-storage hydroelectricity, thermal energy storage, flywheel energy storage, and Others. By Application, the market is divided into commercial & industrial, and residential.

Based on the type, the market for energy storage is anticipated to be dominated by the batteries segment, largely as a result of the growing use of renewable energy sources like wind and solar power. The extra energy produced by these sources during peak hours can be stored by battery energy storage systems (BESS), which can then deliver it during times of high demand or when renewable energy sources are not accessible. This aids in lowering energy costs, improving grid stability, and encouraging the usage of sustainable energy. For instance, Tesla announced its largest battery storage product, the Megapack, in 2021 with the aim of making the installation of substantial battery storage systems easier. The Hornsdale Power Reserve in South Australia, one of the largest battery energy storage systems in the world, utilised the Megapack, which has a maximum energy storage capacity of 3 megawatt-hours.

Moreover, Grid-scale battery storage initiatives are being developed in various nations to facilitate the grid integration of renewable energy sources. For instance, the biggest battery energy storage project in Europe was started in the UK in 2020. The 100-megawatt project, which is situated in Minety, Wiltshire, has a 150 megawatt-hour energy storage capacity. The energy storage sector has seen the emergence of a new business model where companies now provide energy storage as a service (ESaaS). For instance, EDF Renewables and Tesvolt, a provider of energy storage, introduced an energy storage as a service (ESaaS) solution in Germany in 2020 that enables users to use battery storage systems without having to own and maintain them.

Interesting Facts of Energy Storage Market

  • On the basis of applications, commercial and industrial segment is expected to hold the major market share globally.
  • Large-scale systems are not the only type of energy storage on the market. Residential and commercial battery storage systems are examples of small-scale energy storage systems that are becoming more and more common, especially in countries with high electricity bills.
  • The United States is the largest market for energy storage in North America in 2020, accounting for more than 40% of all new installations.
  • By 2030, it is expected that the energy storage industry would have added over 500,000 jobs globally, boosting employment and the economy.

Asia Pacific will account for the largest share of the Energy Storage industry

The Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the energy storage industry in the future years due to a number of factors, including government policies that are supportive, an increase in the deployment of renewable energy sources, and a rise in the demand for power. The rising deployment of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power is one of the key factors propelling the growth of the energy storage industry in the Asia Pacific region. Energy storage is increasingly necessary to balance the unpredictable nature of renewable energy sources and ensure a steady and dependable electricity supply as their percentage in the source of electricity increases. For instance, the South Australian government in Australia constructed the largest lithium-ion battery storage plant in the world (129 MWh) next to a wind farm to stabilise the grid and decrease blackouts.

The favourable government rules and incentives are another element boosting the energy storage sector in the Asia Pacific area. Various policies and incentives have been put in place by governments in nations like China, Japan, and South Korea to encourage the use of energy storage systems. For instance, the National Energy Storage Demonstration Project, started by the Chinese government in 2012, aims to deploy 100 MW of energy storage by 2015 and 3 GW by 2020.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge effect on the worldwide energy storage sector. The epidemic created challenges for supply chains, project finance, and planning, but it also provided opportunity for the energy storage industry. The interruption of global supply lines was one of the pandemic's early consequences on the energy storage industry. The pandemic originated in China, which is also home to many manufacturers of battery cells, inverters, and other component types. The pandemic delayed component supplies, which had an effect on the manufacturing and global adoption of energy storage systems.

However, the epidemic did open up new opportunities for the energy storage sector. Demand for a dependable and robust electrical supply has increased as a result of the rise in remote work and online learning. Energy storage can assist in supplying backup power during blackouts and ensuring a steady electrical supply for crucial facilities like hospitals and data centres, helping to meet this demand. Furthermore, Globally, the move to renewable energy sources has been raced up by the pandemic. Governments are slowly beginning to understand the value of clean energy for resilience and economic recovery. Energy storage is a crucial part of this transformation since it can assist balance the inconsistent behaviour of renewable energy sources and provide a steady supply of electricity.
