The top three manufacturers in energy storage cell shipments non-China markets were CATL, BYD, and CALB. At present, most non-China cell shipments from Chinese-funded manufacturers are achieved through the commissioning of non-China energy storage projects by leading Chinese system integrators.
CATL and Hithium ranked as the top two in global energy storage cell shipments. Key market themes include (1) full capacity and full sales; (2) tiered differentiation; (3) emerging players; and (4) capacity buildup. *InfoLink strives for information comprehensiveness, but manufacturers' official data shall prevail in case of any discrepancies.
Although battery supply may exceed demand at the global level, the picture is more nuanced and varied by region. Some countries have excess capacity—meaning more than enough to satisfy local demand—while others rely on imports to alleviate local shortages. This regional view could become critical if more countries try to localize production.
This battery storage update includes summary data and visualizations on the capacity of large-scale battery storage systems by region and ownership type, battery storage co-located systems, applications served by battery storage, battery storage installation costs, and small-scale battery storage trends.
Global trends suggest that the battery market is oversaturated, but a regional analysis reveals pockets of opportunity. Although electric-vehicle (EV) sales have slowed from their peak, battery technology continues to evolve at a breakneck pace.
(For more information on battery chemistries, see sidebar “How battery technology is evolving.”) Our model estimates that lithium-ion batteries are expected to account for about 86 percent of total battery demand by 2030, with sodium-ion, lead-acid, and other battery technologies accounting for the remaining 14 percent.
The global containerized energy storage and solar container market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with commercial and industrial energy storage demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 50% of all new modular energy storage installations worldwide. North America leads with 45% market share, driven by industrial power needs and commercial facility demand.
