How BESS and Lithium Demand Are Shaping Energy Storage:
J.P. Morgan''s recent analysis shows that shipments of stationary energy storage batteries will rise by 50% in 2025 and 43% in 2026. This surge is causing the lithium supply to move
The global Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) market is growing at a rapid pace. The expansion is driven by the rise of renewable energy, the increasing need for grid stability, and the growth of electric vehicles (EVs). BESS allows electricity to be stored when supply exceeds demand and released when demand is higher than supply.
At the end of 2023, China had 86 GW of ESS in place, with energy from pumped hydro power accounting for more than 59% and battery storage nearly 40%, according to data from the China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA). China's major battery producers, including EVE, have seen a huge spike in terms of ESS battery deliveries this year.
And based on data from SNE Research, global shipments of ESS batteries reached 185 GWh in 2023, up by 53% compared with 121 GWh in 2022. China's major battery producers have also been steadily increasing their overseas market share amid growing demand, partly due to intense competition within China.
Distributed energy storage: Behind-the-meter storage for commercial, industrial, and residential users is rising as battery costs fall. Advances in battery technology: Lithium-ion battery performance is improving, with longer lifespans, higher efficiency, and better safety.
