More than 6,765 product literatures, industry releases, annual reports, and other such documents of major energy storage system industry participants along with authentic industry journals, trade associations' releases, and government websites have been reviewed for generating high-value industry insights.
Overall, energy storage technologies play a crucial role in facilitating the transition to renewable energy and improving energy security globally, with increasing demand across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. The United States energy storage market is expected to witness substantial growth by 2031.
Of this global total, China’s operational energy storage project capacity comprised 33.1GW, a growth of 5.1% compared to Q3 of 2019. Both in the international market and the Chinese market, pumped hydro storage continued to account for the largest proportion of energy storage capacity totals.
The majority of the growth is due to forklifts (8% CAGR). UPS and data centers show moderate growth (4% CAGR) and telecom backup battery demand shows the lowest growth level (2% CAGR) through 2030. Figure 8. Projected global industrial energy storage deployments by application
Figure 2: Cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage projects commissioned in China (as of the end of June 2023) In the first half of 2023, China's new energy storage continued to develop at a high speed, with 850 projects (including planning, under construction and commissioned projects), more than twice that of the same period last year.
Key drivers propelling this expansion include the ongoing renewable energy revolution, the increasing shift towards electric and hybrid vehicles, and the rising popularity of lithium-ion batteries in the renewable energy sector. The global energy storage industry is experiencing significant growth driven by various factors.
