Key Findings
2022 has been a historic turning point in the clean energy transition. A mix of geopolitical, economic, and climate factors
pushed governments to scale the extent and pace of climate action. Governments formed policies and plans with long-term
1 effects for RE and battery energy storage (BES), a critical element to provide the much-needed flexibility and resilience that
modern energy systems require.
The fast growth in related clean energy industries, such as electric mobility and RE, has brought considerable challenges for
2 BES. Constraints around the supply of key minerals and materials, shipping, and sitting and permitting processes put pressure
on battery system prices and cause project delays, restraining BES deployment in the short and mid-term.
Market expansion is bringing higher sophistication and specialization through the value chain and diversification of business
models and opportunities around BES systems. Frost & Sullivan expects considerable growth around AI-based software platforms,
4 multi-technology PPAs, second-life applications, and increasing use of batteries in hybrid systems, data centers, fast charging
infrastructure, power retailers’ net-zero homes programs, and VPPs.
BES opportunities are set to remain uneven and highly concentrated in countries with supportive policies and advanced
market designs, which allow batteries to participate in wholesale markets and stack value. Almost 80% of power capacity additions
5 deployed between 2022 and 2030 will be concentrated in China, the United States, Australia, Germany, India, and the United
Kingdom.

Trend 2. Merchant BES Is on the Rise
• Unlike contracted BES projects with guaranteed revenue streams, merchant storage drives revenues (or most
of them) from wholesale markets through ancillary services, capacity supply (power), and energy arbitrage.
• As BES matures, more countries allow its participation in wholesale markets to provide different services,
creating new growth avenues.
• Revenue maximization for merchant BES entails strategic sitting to capture value from grid congestion,
participation in day-ahead and real-time market bids, and quick operational adjustments to react to unexpected
market events. The use of optimization and bidding software becomes a crucial element to help in that
endeavor.

Capacity and Revenue Forecast Analysis
• Global BES capacity deployment is set to expand from 17.54 GW/38.26 GWh in 2022 to 104.15 GW/301.01 GWh
in 2030, fueled by the expansion of intermittent renewables, supportive policies, and cost declines.
• BES energy capacity growth is higher than power capacity, recording 29.4% and 24.9% CAGRs, respectively, due
to an increase in grid-scale project duration. Maximum grid-scale storage projects have been designed primarily
to supply quick power for frequency regulation services, requiring high-power and short-duration batteries.
• Market revenue will grow almost five-fold, from $15.85 billion in 2022 to $71.98 billion by 2030, a slightly lower
growth rate than for installations due to the downward trajectory of technology costs, expected to resume from
2024 onward.
• The grid-scale sector will remain the leading sector in growth, accounting for three-quarters of installations by
2030, while the less-developed C&I sector will experience higher growth than residential batteries, reaching
similar levels of energy capacity.

Forecast Analysis—Residential
• The residential BES market is relatively nascent, with 772,137 systems installed in 2022. Given that the potential
addressable market is many times that number, there is plenty of space for future growth. Frost & Sullivan
estimates annual capacity to jump from 3.68 GW/6.82 GWh in 2022 to 15.57 GW/29.78 GWh by 2030.
• A mix of supportive policies and incentives driving solar self-consumption coupled with soaring electricity prices,
intensified by the global energy prices, and extreme weather events is leading residential consumers to invest in
solar-plus-storage systems.
• By the end of the forecast period, considerable growth in installations in the United States, China, Japan, and
Australia will split the residential BES market evenly among the 3 regions of North America, Asia, and Europe.
North America will outpace Europe in energy capacity deployment, as system sizes tend to be bigger, but not in
installations.
• The growth in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East is expected to be limited unless governments offer solid
incentives. With lower GDP and power demand per capita, relatively low or subsidized energy prices, import
taxes for batteries, and traditional net metering policies refraining from PV self-consumption, it is hard for
residential batteries to make a business case.

• The C&I market is the least developed BES segment, with only 1.50 GW of capacity installed during 2022.
Compared to residential applications, C&I BES projects usually require more complex and customized designs
tailored to unique challenges. They also need smart and proven controls to conciliate rate structures, incentive
programs, and backup capabilities. In addition, as happens with C&I distributed solar, sales cycles are longer and
highly technical. Besides, governmental incentives and off-the-shelf project financing are not as common as in
the other 2 segments.
• ESG commitments are expected to play an increasing role in driving BES adoption to replace diesel and gas
gensets. In that aspect, in the short to mid-term, the most prominent end users will be data centers and mining
operations. Data centers are well-known for being big energy guzzlers, accounting for more than 1% of the
global electricity demand, but also highly committed to carbon reductions. Mining companies are investing in
on-site RE and looking for batteries to provide a steady and reliable power supply to electrify operations.
Fast-charging infrastructure for fleet electrification will drive growth in the C&I sector, but opportunities must
be on a project basis.

Forecast Analysis—Europe
• In 2022, Europe installed 5.52 GW of BES, doubling 2021 additions. In 2023, the region is forecast to add another
6.88 GW of new installations reaching 20.09 GW of cumulative capacity. The regional battery market is expected
to grow fast during the decade as the need for flexibility increases to achieve climate ambitions and RE targets
and guarantee the security of supply. Like in other regions, BES supply chain issues, higher prices, and shipping
delays increase the risk level of projects and defer deployment, restraining market growth in the short and
medium term until a new supply meets demand levels.
• BES market growth is guaranteed to support such levels of intermittent renewables. However, the pace will
depend on how fast state members introduce the rules still needed to facilitate value stacking under schemes
that provide certainty to investors for long periods. In addition, if the EU decides to do away with fossil fuel
generation for backup, BES installations to replace gas peakers could have a much larger impact on the market.
• The present context is pushing BES regulation and incentives to the policymakers’ agenda (at the country and EU
level), and further measures will come to light shortly, driving growth in installations in the mid to long term. By
the end of the forecast period, Europe is expected to have an 18.07 GW BES annual market, with a cumulative
capacity of 102.40 GW.

Forecast Analysis—North America
• North America, mainly the US, is the most attractive destination for battery storage in the 3 segments driven by
fast intermittent RE penetration, grid reliability issues, and supportive policies at the state and federal levels. The
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), signed into law in August 2022, is regarded as the most transformational clean
energy policy in the history of the US. The extended and new tax credits improve the economics of battery
storage in all segments, bringing more certainty and dynamism to an already rapidly growing market. To level the
playing field with its neighbor, Canada launched similar incentives expected to wake up a still incipient market.
• In 2022, North America installed 5.51 GW of BES, and 2023 is expected to be another record year with 6.85 GW.
Spurred by the new supportive policies, the region is expected to reach the end of the decade with more than
34.4 GW of new installations and more than 165 GW of cumulative power. The growth in energy capacity will be
higher given the increase in longer-duration systems deployment, jumping from an annual market of 16.46 GWh
in 2022 to 107.68 GWh in 2030.

• Grid battery storage deployment is growing at a healthy rate in the Middle East, Africa and Latin
America, but from a negligible base. In 2022, these regions accounted for 4.6% of the world’s BES
power capacity additions, and no major changes are expected in positions through 2030.

• The outlook for this group of regions is not very promising. Still, some exceptions exist in countries
such as Chile, Israel, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where BES could become
mainstream by the end of the forecast period.
• With lower GDP and power demand per capita, relatively low or subsidized energy prices, and
traditional net metering policies, it is hard for residential BES to disrupt these markets. Overall,
opportunities will remain limited to specific C&I and grid-scale installation projects of backup
power, transmission deferral, RE integration, and ancillary service applications.

Key Country Analysis—India
Overview Annual Power Capacity Forecast
• To support the deployment of 500 GW of RE by 2030, India’s Central Electricity Authority (CEA)
estimates 27GW/108GWh of battery storage will be required by 2030. Frost & Sullivan’s forecasts 2030
show the county could come close to achieving that size. 2029
• To date, bids have been the main driver supporting the development of India’s grid-scale BES 2028
market. In 2019 and 2020, Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), the Indian government-owned 2027
agency, paved the way for grid-scale batteries with the celebration of several RE-plus-storage 2026

Key Country Analysis—Japan
Overview Annual Power Capacity Forecast
• Currently, Japan’s main market for BES is the residential sector. The ongoing rollback of
the feed-in-tariff scheme for rooftop PV and its replacement with a feed-in-premium,
coupled with subsidies for home storage, are driving self-consumption with batteries. 2029
With improving cost competitiveness, the power retail deregulation, increasing

• Despite being a relevant player in lithium-ion battery manufacturing, Japan’s grid-scale 2023
BES market is scarce and limited to pilot projects. High costs and the lack of an ancillary
service market are significant restraints for large-scale deployments. 2021
