Additionally, a surge in the demand for efficient grid management, coupled with the favorable governmental framework for sustainable technologies are some major factors that are anticipated to boost the market growth further over the projected time frame.
Growth Drivers
Worldwide Growing Demand for Energy - Global energy demand is rising to meet the expanding needs of the world's population. Energy demand is rising as a result of increased economic activity and technological advancements in both developed and developing nations. Energy consumption is always increasing, generating price volatility in petroleum-based fuels as well as environmental issues linked with fossil fuels, such as greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions, which contribute to global warming. This scenario motivates researchers to investigate and invent new approaches and sustainable technology for energy storage and biofuel production. Hence, this factor is estimated to significantly boost the growth of the global energy storage system market during the forecast period. According to the statistics of the International Energy Agency (IEA), the worldwide total final consumption of energy increased to 15.1 Etta Joule by 2019.
An Upsurge in Investments in Renewable Energy – For instance, Over the past few decades, the United States has witnessed a considerable increase in investment in renewable energy sources. Investments exceeded nearly USD 60 billion in 2019, which increased from around USD 10 billion in 2005.
Worldwide Increase in Carbon Emission – As per a report, in 2021, worldwide carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and industries climbed by around 5.6%, setting a new high of nearly 39 billion metric tons (GtCO2). China and the United States were the two major contributors to total emissions that year, with approximately 12.28 and 6.05 GtCO2, respectively.
Massive Surge in the Demand for Batteries – For instance, the demand for batteries is anticipated to be increased from 188 GWh in 2020 to more than 2,000 GWh by 2030. This significant growth is mostly attributable to the rise in electric transportation, which, in terms of overall energy storage capacity is anticipated to account for the great majority of the demand for batteries by 2030.
Worldwide Expanding Count of Data Centers – For instance, there are more than 8,000 data centers worldwide. As of January 2022, there were nearly 2,802 data centers in the United States, with 488 more in Germany. Whereas, with around 460, the United Kingdom placed third among countries in terms of the number of data centers, while China had approximately 446 data centers.

Technology (Pumped Hydro Storage, Compressed Air, Battery Energy, Flywheel Storage)
The global energy storage system market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by technology into pumped hydro storage, compressed air, battery energy, flywheel storage, and others. Out of these five types of segments, the pumped hydro storage segment is estimated to gain the largest market share over the projected time frame. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the worldwide exceeding demand and adoption for pumped hydro storage power generation, coupled with the growing energy consumption throughout the world. For instance, as per a report, till 2021, pumped hydro energy storage accounted for approximately 94% of total global storage power capacity and nearly 97% of total global storage energy volume. Besides this, a rising initiative by the government of nations for renewable energy generation to attain zero carbon footprint is also projected to propel the growth of the segment in the coming years.
Application (Grid Storage, Transportation)
The global energy storage system market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into grid storage, transportation, and others. Amongst these three segments, the grid storage segment is expected to garner a significant share. The growth of the segment can be ascribed to the extensive use of grid energy storage systems across the globe, along with the radically rising demand for energy in the industrial sector is another major factor that is estimated to boost the growth of the segment in the coming years. As per the International Energy Agency (IEA) report, by the end of 2021, the total installed grid-scale battery storage capacity was up to 16 GW, the majority of which was installed over the last five years. Installations climbed significantly in 2021, jumping by 60% over 2020 as more than 6 GW of storage capacity was installed. That was the second year in a row in which the installations increased significantly. Besides this, large-scale energy storage allows for a continuous and efficient power supply. This, as a result, is also anticipated to create numerous opportunities for the growth of the segment in the coming years.
