Battery Energy Storage System Market

Global battery energy storage system market is likely to exhibit a promising growth curve as far as the short-term outlook is considered. The report will uncover the insights into how the market growth will unfold in the next few years.

Market Analysis in Brief

The global battery energy storage system market has been growing rapidly over the last few years, driven primarily by the increasing demand for renewable energy sources as well as the need to improve grid stability and reliability. Battery energy storage systems are used to store excess energy generated by renewable sources such as solar and wind power and can release this electricity when needed to cater to demand. These systems also help to balance the grid by providing frequency regulation and voltage support.

The BESS market is expected to continue its growth trajectory over the next few years, driven by factors such as declining battery costs, the increasing adoption of electric vehicles, and favorable government initiatives that promote renewable energy. However, there are also challenges to be addressed, such as the limited lifespan of batteries and the need for more efficient and cost-effective storage technologies. Overall, the global BESS market presents significant opportunities for entities operating in the energy sector.

Key Report Findings

• The global battery energy storage system market was valued at more than US$12 Bn in 2021
• The largest battery energy storage system company globally is Tesla Inc.
• Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most used type of battery in BESS
• Asia Pacific to account for the majority share of the global BESS market over the forecast period

Growth Drivers

Sustainable Energy Boom, and Favorable Governmental Initiatives

In recent years, many countries around the world have begun to transition to a low-carbon economy which has led to a higher demand for renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Battery energy storage systems allow for the storage of excess generated electricity from renewable sources, which can then be used in period where low renewable energy is generated. Moreover, advancements in battery technology as well as improvements in management systems and software have made BESS a more cost-effective and efficient option.

Several governments around the world are in the process or already have implemented favorable policies and initiatives that promote the adoption of energy storage solutions. These are some of the major factors that are expected to have a positive influence on the growth of the global battery energy storage system market.

Climbing EV Sales, and Increasing Need for Grid Stability

The electric vehicle market has gained significant traction, particularly over the last 10 years. Exponential growth of the electric vehicle (EV) market has led to a substantial increase in the demand for BESS solutions, specifically for charging stations. Battery energy storage systems can aid in managing the demand for electricity from charging stations, thereby effectively ensuring that there is ample electricity to meet the needs of the grid and to prevent blackouts.

Furthermore, BESS can aid in addressing grid instability and reliability. This applies specifically in areas with elevated levels of renewable energy generation. BESS solutions store electricity during periods of low demand and can balance the grid during power outages or periods of high demand. These are other major factors that are expected to augment the global battery energy storage system market further.

Growth Challenges

High Installation Costs, and Safety Concerns

The initial installation costs of BESS are high, and this can be attributed in part to a lack of raw material availability, as rare and expensive metals such as cobalt, lithium, and nickel are used in the manufacture of batteries. However, as the overall cost of batteries and other components decline, this element is expected to play less of a critical restraining role in the global battery energy storage system market.

On the other hand, BESS store substantial amounts of energy, which could pose a risk to human life and property is not managed properly. If safety concerns are not effectively addressed and proper safety protocols are not implemented, this could have a detrimental effect on the further progression of the global BESS market over the forecast period.

Growth Opportunities Across Regions

Asia Pacific to Retain Primacy

The BESS markets in both North America, and Europe account for a significant share, with the United States being the biggest market in North America, and Germany being the largest in Europe. However, the Asia Pacific region is expected to register the highest projected CAGR over the forecast period. This can be accredited to a growing focus on renewable energy sources and the ever-increasing demand for electricity. China, followed by Japan, and South Korea are the largest BESS markets in this region.
