Energy Storage Systems Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Technology (Pumped Storage, Electrochemical Storage, Electromechanical Storage, Thermal Storage), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Energy Storage Systems Market Summary

Clean & renewable energy is an affordable alternative to fossil fuel-based electricity. Its use can help curb the overdependence on fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse gas emissions & subsequently air pollution, and diversify the power supply.The increasing number of data storage centers coupled with rapidly growing competition in numerous sectors including IT and finance is expected to augment the demand over the forecast period. In addition, changing consumer lifestyle and a rising number of power outages are projected to propel utilization in the residential sector.

Energy storage systems (ESS) in the U.S. was 27.57 GW in 2022 and is expected to reach 67.01 GW by 2030. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.4% over the forecast period. The size of the energy storage industry in the U.S. will be driven by rising electrical applications and the adoption of rigorous energy efficiency standards. The industry's growth will be aided by a growing focus on lowering electricity costs, as well as the widespread use of renewable technology. According to the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA), in 2018, investments in renewable power production technologies, dominated by solar and wind energy, totaled USD 64.2 billion in the United States. Increased expenditures in the building of new power system networks, as well as ongoing measures to upgrade current distribution infrastructure, will support market growth in the U.S.

Technology Insights

On the basis of technology, the global market has been further divided into (Pumped Storage, Electrochemical Storage, Electromechanical Storage, Thermal Storage). The pumped hydro technology segment dominated the market and accounted for more than 94.59% of the total market share, in terms of storage volume, in 2022. The market is likely to be boosted by ongoing expenditures in the Asia Pacific and North America to upgrade energy infrastructure and increase on-grid capacity. Long-term demand for pumped hydro storage (PHS) is predicted to be driven by favorable compliance regulations and rising electricity consumption in China and the United States.

Over the next few years, countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and India are expected to drive electrochemical storage demand.Countries in the Middle East & Africa and Central & South America are expected to drive thermal storage demand over the long term.

Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems gather and store surplus thermal energy generated by a variety of technologies for later use. Latent, sensible, and thermochemical TES systems are examples of several types of TES systems. Bricks, sand, water, rock beds, air, and concrete are some of the storage mediums employed in sensible heat storage.

Regional Insights

The Asia Pacific was the largest segment in 2022 and accounted for more than 46.87% of the overall market share, owing to the presence of fast-growing economies such as China and India.Energy storage devices are critical in applications such as UPS and data centers because this region is prone to frequent power outages. The ESS market in this region has been pushed by the benefits of modern energy storage systems, such as cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and reliability.

The energy storage authorities in the aforementioned European countries have chosen battery energy storage technologies to expand the use of renewable energy sources while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Long-term growth of the energy storage systems (ESS) market is likely to be aided by the growing popularity of electric vehicles in countries such as Germany and France.

For investments in the automotive, energy, and biochemical industries, Central and South America is a promising location. Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, and Chile are all important countries in the region. Argentina is anticipated to see a significant slowdown in energy investment as the country emerges from its current recession in the coming years. Countries in the Asia Pacific region are largely developing countries that are undergoing rapid industrialization.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights

The market is characterized by the presence of several key players and a few medium- and small-scale regional players. Many of the companies have their own sector that they focus on and have a very high penetration in that sector.For instance, In August 2021, Active Power announced planning a US road trip to bring its containerized POWERHOUSE UPS to user’s doorsteps. Under this strategic initiative, Active Power engineers will be partnering with sales and service partners to deliver a series of live demonstrations around the U.S. to exhibit the POWERHOUSE UPS. The U.S. tour will begin in October and is expected to run through 2022. Some of the prominent players operating in the global energy storage systems market include:
