The explosive growth of industrial and commercial energy storage

Is the industrial energy storage sector at a crossroads?

Have you read? The industrial energy storage sector is currently at a crossroads, facing both challenges and promising opportunities. On the one hand, the market potential is vast, with an increasing number of industrial users recognizing the importance of energy storage and showing a growing willingness to install storage systems.

What is the growth rate of industrial energy storage?

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

Are commercial and industrial energy storage systems becoming more popular?

Regarding ESS types, commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage systems are entering a phase of swift development, surpassing the incremental growth of utility-scale installations and other ESS types by a significant margin.

What is the future of energy storage?

Commercial and industrial (C&I) ESS is experiencing a surge in growth, entering a phase of rapid development. The increase in installations for utility-scale ESS far outpaces that of other types. In the realm of residential energy storage, projections for new installations in 2024 stand at 11GW/20.9GWh, reflecting a modest 5% and 11% increase.

What is the future of energy storage in China?

In China, generation-side and grid-side energy storage dominate, making up 97% of newly deployed energy storage capacity in 2023. 2023 was a breakthrough year for industrial and commercial energy storage in China. Projections show significant growth for the future.

Will commercial and industrial energy storage systems become more profitable by 2030?

According to the latest research, by 2030 it will be much more straightforward for commercial and industrial energy storage systems to participate in spot markets and provide ancillary services, leading to substantial revenue growth.
