What is the future of battery energy storage?

Demand for energy storage continues to escalate, the global battery energy storage (BESS) landscape is poised for significant installation growth and technological advancements.

Why is global demand for batteries increasing?

Global demand for batteries is increasing, driven largely by the imperative to reduce climate change through electrification of mobility and the broader energy transition.

Do battery demand forecasts underestimate the market size?

Just as analysts tend to underestimate the amount of energy generated from renewable sources, battery demand forecasts typically underestimate the market size and are regularly corrected upwards.

How have batteries changed the energy storage industry?

Batteries continue to lead the charge in energy storage growth, with some fascinating developments shaping their evolution: Battery prices have taken a remarkable journey, dropping by a whopping 97% since 1991. That’s like seeing a $30,000 car from the ’90s now costing just $900!

What will China's battery energy storage system look like in 2030?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) will have a CAGR of 30 percent, and the GWh required to power these applications in 2030 will be comparable to the GWh needed for all applications today. China could account for 45 percent of total Li-ion demand in 2025 and 40 percent in 2030—most battery-chain segments are already mature in that country.

What are the growth prospects for the solid-state battery market?

The use of solid-state batteries in electric cars is one of the main growth prospects for the solid-state battery market. Demand for solid-state batteries is predicted to increase as the automobile sector in India, China, Japan, and South Korea expands rapidly.
