Market Growth Factors
A substantial demand for electric vehicles
The market is booming primarily due to the rising demand for electric vehicles and the widespread use of virtual power plants. Electric vehicles, representing a sizable application area, could spur the broad adoption of energy storage solutions in residential settings. The use of electric vehicles is increasing, which increases the demand for residential energy storage systems in Europe and North America. An imbalance in the grid services market disadvantages solar-battery-electric vehicle (EV) systems. This market provides incentives for producing and storing power, which are essential for real-time network demand and supply balancing. As a result, there is a focus on developing battery-based charging infrastructure for EVs, which in turn encourages the expansion of the market.
The rising incidents of power outages
The market is expanding significantly due to the rising frequency of power outages. Additionally, the frequency and severity of extreme phenomena like hurricanes, tornadoes, snowstorms, and wildfires are being significantly impacted by climate change. Power outages could result from these strong weather conditions damaging power lines and other infrastructure. Moreover, the electrical grid in many nations, mainly developed nations, is aging and needs enhancements. As a result, the length of power interruptions is a key factor affecting the demand for domestic energy storage systems. As a result of the rising number of power outages, the market is estimated to grow.
Market Restraining Factors
Aging Lithium-Ion Battery
Despite notable improvements and breakthroughs, the aging problem is a significant disadvantage of lithium-ion battery technology. Lithium-ion batteries lose some of their ability to store energy with time and with use, which lowers their performance. This aging phenomenon can be observed in the batteries of electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops. Although this degradation is annoying for portable electronics, electric vehicles are more seriously affected. Electric vehicles’ available driving range is directly impacted by battery cell aging, reducing their effectiveness and usability. Lithium-ion batteries naturally age due to chemical interactions between the negative electrode and electrolyte. Furthermore, it is critical to comprehend the underlying aging mechanisms linked to new cell chemistries.
Technology Outlook
By technology, the market is categorized into lead-acid and lithium-ion. The lithium-ion segment held the highest revenue share in the market in 2022. In comparison to other battery technologies, it is anticipated that lithium-ion technology will increase at the fastest rate. The higher energy density of lithium-ion batteries, which outperforms lead-acid batteries, is responsible for this growth. As a result, the lithium-ion segment is anticipated to experience a significant increase throughout the anticipated period, propelling market expansion.
Power Rating Outlook
Based on power rating, the market is fragmented into 3 kW to 6 kW, 6 kW to 10 kW, and 10 kW to 20 kW. The 10 kW to 29 kW segment acquired a substantial revenue share in the market in 2022. The energy storage segment ranging from 10 kW to 29 kW appealed to homeowners seeking greater energy independence and resilience. These systems’ greater storage capabilities enable them to offer backup power during grid outages or periods of high demand. Energy storage systems became more necessary to store the extra energy as more houses started using solar panels and other renewable energy sources. These devices assist homeowners in increasing their level of independence and lowering their reliance on the grid.
Connectivity Type Outlook
On the basis of connectivity type, the market is divided into on-grid and off-grid. In 2022, the on-grid segment dominated the market with maximum revenue share. In residential structures, on-grid systems are employed more commonly. The extra energy produced can be sent to the relevant power provider, which owns the grid, using on-grid devices, allowing the person to build up credit that can be withdrawn at the end of the year. Moreover, being grid-connected eliminates the need for a costly battery backup system to store excess energy. These factors will increase demand for on-grid household energy storage systems over the projection period.
Ownership Type Outlook
By ownership type, the market is segmented into customer-owned, utility-owned, and third-party owned. In 2022, the customer-owned segment registered the maximum revenue share in the market. This development can be attributed to its capacity to handle issues with overvoltage and unbalanced energy supply and demand. Customer-owned energy storage systems enable residential users to efficiently regulate their energy consumption, resulting in a more reliable and adequate energy distribution within their premises.
Operation Type Outlook
Based on operation type, the market is bifurcated into standalone systems, solar & storage system. In 2022, the standalone systems segment registered the maximum revenue share in the market. Standalone energy storage systems provide a dependable backup power source during grid disruptions. To use the energy stored during peak demand or power disruptions, homeowners can keep electricity during off-peak times or when renewable energy production is high. This increases the residential energy infrastructure’s resilience and homeowners’ capacity to maintain power under challenging circumstances.
Regional Outlook
Region wise, the market analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and LAMEA. In 2022, the Europe region led the market by generating the highest revenue share. Adopting energy-efficient and clean technology and strict government restrictions relating to decarbonization will improve the business outlook in this region. The combination of favorable government subsidies and a decline in the price of solar systems has made these technologies increasingly desirable for homeowners. Additionally, the regional market for these systems will be fueled by strict demands to optimize energy and a favorable regulatory attitude for deploying practicable solar technologies.
