Battery Energy Storage System Market by Element, Battery Type, Ownership, Connection Type, Application & Geography- Global Forecast to 2023

The battery energy storage systems are primarily used to reduce peak demand charges; integrate renewable source, regulate voltage, and frequency; and provide backup power supply. The battery energy storage system market was valued at USD 1.45 Billion in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 8.54 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 33.9% between 2018 and 2023.  The base year considered for the study is 2017, and the forecast period is between 2018 and 2023. The major factors driving the growth of the battery energy storage system market include the increasing demand for grid-connected solutions, high demand for the lithium-ion technology in the renewable energy industry, and declining prices of lithium-ion batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries to hold largest size of the battery energy storage system market throughout the forecast period

The lithium-ion batteries have a long lifespan of 5–15 years, and up to 98% efficiency (i.e., only 2% of electrical charge is lost during use). The lithium-ion batteries have very high energy and power densities, which leads to lower weight with low standby losses, and high life expectancy. Lithium-ion batteries continue to hold a large size of the battery energy storage system market owing to its features such as high energy density, self-discharge capability, low maintenance requirement, less weight, and high life expectancy.

Utility-owned battery energy storage system held a major share of the market in 2017

The utility-owned ownership type held the major share of the battery energy storage system market in 2017. The ability of the utility-owned battery energy storage systems to manage large energy requirements during peak hours is supporting the adoption of these systems. According to the Energy Storage Association, US, the utility-based battery storage installed capacity grew by 221 MW in 2016. This shows the high dependence of the customers on the utility-owned battery storage systems for their energy requirements.

 
Utilities to hold largest size of the battery energy storage system market during the forecast period

Battery energy storage system is well suited for smoothing the variable output of renewables and controlling the rapid ramping up and down of solar as well as wind generation. The grid operators and regulators are aware of the importance of battery energy storage systems and their ability to cater through multiple services. The utility operators are using these systems in their resource planning processes, which reduces the system costs and increases storage capacity.

Battery energy storage system market in APAC to grow at the highest CAGR between 2018 and 2023

APAC comprises China, Japan, India, South Korea, and the Rest of APAC (RoAPAC). APAC is gradually becoming a hub for the battery energy storage system industry. The demand for battery energy storage systems from China, India, and Japan is gradually increasing. The electricity demand in China is on rise due to the rapid population growth in the country. To fulfill the increasing demand from this population, the state-owned State Grid Corporation of China, the world’s largest utility, has deployed battery energy storage systems to provide ancillary services throughout its grid.

Major factors restraining the growth of the battery energy storage system market include high capital investment required for the deployment and lack of the availability of vendors and project financing.  Key market players such as ABB (Switzerland), LG Chem (South Korea), NEC (Japan), Panasonic (Japan), Samsung SDI (South Korea) have adopted strategies such as product launches and developments, expansions, acquisitions, agreements, contracts, collaborations, and partnerships to gain a competitive edge in the battery energy storage system market and expand their distribution networks.
