Rising deployment of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are resulting in increased adoption of storage systems owing to the grid reliability offered by the technology. It provides constant power supply to the grid and compensates for intermittent nature of renewable power supply.

The systems are widely used in industries including medical, marine, telecommunication, production, energy, and information technology. With increasing requirement of efficient grid management, constant load management, and continuous power supply, the market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period.

The manufacturers supply batteries both through direct supply and third-party supply agreements to the manufacturers in the industry. The manufacturers assemble different batteries depending on the requirements of the end-use industries. The system manages the power quality, aids time shifting, and improves grid efficiency.

Industry participants are focusing on largely commercializing flywheel storage as it is more economical than batteries. The main reasons for this are the long service life and low maintenance costs of the flywheel compared, which compensates for the higher purchase costs at the beginning of the installation. While flywheel storage normally has the same lifespan as the UPS technology, batteries have to be replaced several times during the lifespan of a UPS.

Scope of The Report

Application Insights

The data center application segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 38.7% of the market in 2021. The rising need for uninterruptible power supply in data centers to enhance business productivity is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. Technology advancements such as dual usage of data center UPS systems as grid stabilizers in local electricity networks will further boost adoption of energy storage across data centers.

The telecom application segment was valued at USD 82.06 million in 2021. The telecom companies have been establishing contracts with battery energy storage systems manufacturers in order to facilitate cost-effective and continuous supply of power. Increasing telecom subscriptions in the economy have led to growth in telecom tower installations, thereby increasing the need to use battery energy storage systems.

Industrial application segment is anticipated to witness a CAGR of 27.3% from 2022 to 2030. The growing IT industry has led to increased utilization of UPS systems in order to protect computer networks and ensure continuous service. A rising number of power outages and voltage fluctuations have necessitated the adoption of UPS systems in commercial and industrial buildings, which is likely to propel demand over the forecast period

The others segment is expected to witness a significant CAGR of 26.2% over the forecast period. Other applications majorly include forklift trucks which are utilized for material handling. The U.S. has witnessed a rapid increase in demand for forklifts over the past years. Low charge time, runtime, and low cycle life of lead-acid batteries have led to the replacement of these batteries with lithium-ion batteries based energy storage systems.

Product Insights 

The lithium-ion battery product segment is anticipated to account for a CAGR of 25.1% over the forecast period. Lithium-ion battery storage systems are used in numerous areas including communication base station, commercial and industrial buildings, grid frequency modulation, household energy storage, and smooth output of renewable energy. Rising demand for electricity along with shift from conventional fuel to renewable energy is anticipated to fuel the product segment growth during the forecast period.

The lead-acid battery product segment occupied largest revenue share and was valued at USD 67.2 million in the U.S. battery energy storage system market in 2021. Lead-acid battery advantages such as low-cost, simple manufacturing process, durability, dependability, low maintenance costs, and high discharge rate capability are expected to increase its demand over Li-ion and NiCd batteries. In addition, abundant availability of lead-acid battery in various sizes and specifications is expected to sustain the demand for these batteries over the next seven years.

The flywheel battery product segment is expected to witness significant a CAGR of 28.4% over the forecast period. The segment is growing in accordance with the growing energy storage demand in U.S. Market players are focusing on flywheel systems owing to their long life and higher efficiency as compared to other batteries.

In August 2021, VYCON Inc. added a new product VDC-XXT flywheel model to its existing family of products. The product can be paired with three-phase UPS, and it utilizes the patented technology of the company. This product will help the client to reduce its initial cost, and also it lowers ongoing energy and operational cost over the life of the product installed.

The others segment includes products such as redox flow batteries, alkaline batteries, silver oxide batteries, zinc-carbon batteries, iron batteries, and pure lead batteries. Exide Technologies; GS Yuasa Corporation; Eveready Industries India Ltd.; EnerSys; Duracell, Inc.; BYD Co., Ltd.; and Panasonic Corporation are the major players that have extensive battery product portfolios. Alkaline batteries and button silver oxide batteries are used in watches, calculators, and medical devices and instruments.
