This trend may highlight that the cost decline over the past few years has driven energy storage into an era of accelerated diversification in the global market. The European energy storage market added 19.1 GWh of installed capacity in 2024, up 12.4% YoY, with drastic changes in the ESS landscape throughout the year.
Global installed energy storage is on a steep upward trajectory. From just under 0.5 terawatts (TW) in 2024, total capacity is expected to rise ninefold to over 4 TW by 2040, driven by battery energy storage systems (BESS). Last year saw a record-breaking 200 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of new BESS projects coming online, a growth rate of 80%.
2024 is the start of energy storage in the Middle East and Africa, with 2.7 GWh of capacity. Key points: Tender projects surged, exceeding 40 GWh, mainly from the UAE and Saudi Arabia. China-funded companies led, winning most announced projects. Intense competition lowered bid prices compared to other regions.
Mainland China accounts for most of the global energy storage demand, driven in the near term by regional requirements for new utility-scale wind and solar projects to include energy storage capacity. However, the Chinese market is entering an era of change.
Global electricity output is set to grow by 50 percent by mid-century, relative to 2022 levels. With renewable sources expected to account for the largest share of electricity generation worldwide in the coming decades, energy storage will play a significant role in maintaining the balance between supply and demand.
To capitalize on this trend, manufacturers should focus on market insights and plan for new opportunities. Developing energy storage has become a global consensus. It was announced at COP29 in late 2024 that global storage capacity will increase to 1,500 GW by 2030, more than six times the 2022 level.
