Core Viewpoint - The energy storage market is expected to experience a slowdown in growth by 2026 due to policy adjustments in major economies, but government tenders and support measures will continue to drive large-scale and distributed energy storage projects, ensuring long-term market growth remains strong [1][3]. Group 1: Global Energy Storage Market Overview - In 2025, global energy storage installations are projected to exceed 100 GW for the first time, representing a 43% year-on-year increase, indicating rapid industry expansion and growing investment attractiveness [3]. - As of now, the total global energy storage capacity is approximately 270 GW, with expectations to reach 1545 GW by 2034, highlighting energy storage as a key element in global energy transition [3]. Group 2: China's Dominance in Energy Storage - By 2025, China will maintain its leading position in global energy storage deployment, accounting for 54% of the total global capacity, driven by renewable energy development goals and strong domestic manufacturing capabilities [5]. - From 2025 to 2034, China is expected to contribute around 50% of the global new energy storage capacity, maintaining its dominance across the entire supply chain [5]. Group 3: U.S. Energy Storage Market Dynamics - The U.S. energy storage capacity is projected to grow by 53% in 2025, although policy challenges remain significant, particularly due to supply chain restrictions imposed by the "Inflation Reduction Act" [5]. - Approximately 12% of existing energy storage systems in the U.S. will require expansion, creating a new market segment expected to grow significantly in the coming years [5]. Group 4: Emerging Markets and Regional Developments - In 2025, Europe is expected to see a 160% year-on-year increase in new installations, with Germany leading in distributed storage and the UK in large-scale utility projects [7]. - The Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions are also accelerating energy storage deployment, with Saudi Arabia establishing itself as a key emerging market through multiple large-scale projects [8]. Group 5: Grid-Scale Energy Storage Trends - By 2025, grid-scale energy storage projects will account for 82% of total installations, driven by demand for large-scale applications and renewable energy integration [10]. - The average storage duration for grid-scale systems is expected to be around 2.5 hours, with continued strong growth anticipated in this sector through 2034 [10]. Group 6: Non-Lithium Battery Technologies - Non-lithium storage technologies such as sodium-ion, flow batteries, and iron-air batteries are beginning to see large-scale applications, with unique advantages in fixed storage scenarios [11][12]. - Investment growth and specialized bidding activities for non-lithium storage are emerging in major markets including China, Australia, Ireland, Spain, Germany, and Italy [12]. Group 7: Data Center Demand for Energy Storage - Energy storage is becoming crucial for data centers, helping to increase the share of green electricity and stabilize load fluctuations, with over 230 GW of data center projects announced in the U.S. alone [13]. - The integration of energy storage with renewable sources like wind and solar is becoming a core power supply method for data centers, driving significant growth in energy storage deployment [14].
