The battery market is experiencing rapid growth and innovation, driven by increasing demand for energy storage solutions. In the Net Zero Scenario, installed grid-scale battery storage capacity expands 35-fold between 2022 and 2030 to almost 970 GW. Around 170 GW of capacity is added in 2030, up from 11 GW in 2022.
In a report by Research Nester, analysts estimate that the global battery market will expand at a CAGR of 10% over the forecast period of 2022 to 2030. The world is also moving to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. And storage solutions are increasingly important for them.
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.
Key growth enablers of the global battery market: A diverse range of batteries are experiencing increased demand for automotive applications, particularly in electric and hybrid vehicles. An automotive battery plays a vital role in a vehicle’s powertrain, functioning independently of the gasoline used for propulsion.
The battery market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for batteries in various emerging applications. Batteries are widely used in consumer electronics such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and wearable devices. These batteries allow to use of such devices anywhere without having to keep an eye on battery life.
Looking ahead, battery manufacturing is expected to grow in the future as the electric vehicle and renewable energy storage markets continue to expand. However, challenges include developing a more efficient, cost-effective manufacturing process and new battery technologies to accommodate different applications.
