The energy storage infrastructure market is projected to reach US$ 426.66 billion by 2031 from US$ 256.39 billion in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2021 to 2031. In terms of capacity, the market is anticipated to reach 11.30  thousand megawatts by 2031 from 4.40 thousand megawatts in 2021, registering a lucrative CAGR of 12.8% from 2021 to 2031.

The integration of energy storage technologies could lead to a revolutionary transformation in the energy efficiencies capabilities of the power grid in long term.  Factors such as a surge in power generation from renewable energy sources and an increase in demand for stabilizing the energy requirements from the power grid are set to be the major contributors to the growth of the energy sector. Moreover, recent advancements in energy storage technologies have encouraged the adoption of renewable energy sources across various residential as well as commercial end users globally. As a result, investment in energy storage technologies and infrastructure, especially in batteries technologies, has gained substantial traction among major investors and government organizations.

The energy storage infrastructure market has witnessed several notable developments in terms of technology modernization, price reduction, government policy rollout, and storage technology R&D investments in the past decade. For instance, the prices of battery technologies, which remained the most popular energy storage technology globally, plummeted to almost 80–85% in the last 10 years. Furthermore, several innovative technology start-ups have developed promising prototypes for potential disruptive energy storage technologies. However, the commercialization of energy storage technologies for scalable storage needs for longer periods remains a challenge for all the market players.

The energy storage infrastructure market comprises several leading, internationally prominent companies along with niche start-ups. However,  the overall competencies of these companies are mainly consolidated around a specific  technology such as mechanical, thermal, electromechanical, electromagnetic, chemical among other technologies. Scalability and commercial viability of new energy storage technology are the major focus areas, as well as existing challenges, the respective technologies possess individually. A few of the leading energy storage technology companies currently dominating the market are ABB Ltd., Tesla, General Electric, Simmens, LG Chem, and SunPower. 

Impact of COVID-19 on Energy Storage Infrastructure Market

The COVID-19 pandemic led to disruptions in the overall supply chain and logistics of the renewable energy sector, including industries such as solar power and wind. Unlike other sectors, the renewable energy sectors in different countries failed to obtain any form of financial relief or aid from their respective governments during the prolonged lockdown periods. Consequently, the energy storage technologies market also plummeted owing to a lack of demand from renewable energy installation sites. Additionally, the energy requirements also fell sharply during the early stages of the lockdown. Government-imposed restrictions to control the COVID-19 spread also had a profound negative impact on the requirement for energy storage solutions. Furthermore, a decline in manufacturing and industrial production led to a momentary decrease in electricity demand. Also, several governments and corporates missed their annual renewable energy goals during the pandemic. Hence, numerous countries and international organizations were compelled to extend the preset deadlines for achieving their renewable energy goals and targets.

However, we profile only 10 companies as a standard practice in our syndicate reports. These 10 companies comprise leading, emerging, and regional players. Nonetheless, our analysis is not restricted to the 10 listed companies, we also analyze other companies present in the market to develop a holistic view and understand the prevailing trends. The “Company Profiles” section in the report covers key facts, business description, products & services, financial information, SWOT analysis, and key developments. The financial information presented is extracted from the annual reports and official documents of the publicly listed companies. Upon collecting the information for the sections of respective companies, we verify them via various primary sources and then compile the data in respective company profiles. The company level information helps us in deriving the base number as well as in forecasting the market size.

  • 3.4 Developing Base Number:

Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.

  1. Data Triangulation and Final Review:

The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.

We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.

We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.

Your data will never be shared with third parties, however, we may send you information from time to time about our products that may be of interest to you. By submitting your details, you agree to be contacted by us. You may contact us at any time to opt-out.
