Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Market Overview:
A battery energy storage system (BESS)is a sub-set of energy storage system and typically uses an electro-chemical solution.The main factors considered while selecting a battery energy storage system includes; capital cost, response time, cycling lifetime, operation &maintenance and self-discharge among others.
Around the world Battery energy storage system is gaining attraction and could fundamentally change the electricity market dynamics.
As per the research report of AGR, it is estimated that global BESS market is likely to grow @ CAGR of ~30-33% from USD 3.2 billion in 2019 to reach USD 18 billion by 2025.
- Based on the type, Lithium-ion batteries to hold larger size of the battery energy storage system market throughout the forecast period.
- By application, Utilities to hold larger size of the battery energy storage system market during the forecast period.
Large size of the market continues to be held by Lithium-ion batteries owing to its features such as high energy density, self-discharge ability, low maintenance need, less weight, and high life expectancy.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Market Outlook:
Battery storage grew over the last few years. As per IEA, the overall installed battery energy storage system capacity in 2019 was ~3.5 GW.
- Huge investments predominantly in lithium-ion batteries are reducing the costs while project developers are continually getting better at designing and building customized storage systems.
- The key factors driving these developments are more favorable markets and regulation, improving system costs, increased access to finance and a need to upgrade ageing grid infrastructure.
At the same time, battery storage is still only a small part of the total power market and there is a more room for further deployment.
- AGR expects total installed grid-scale battery capacity of ~20 GW by 2025. (Excluding projections for residential or commercial and industrial (C&I) both of which have sizable market potentials).
- The growth is led by Key regions, such as Europe, South Korea and the US.Battery energy storage system market in APAC to grow at the highest CAGR between 2019 and 2025.

Challenges disrupting the market:
Though the global Battery energy storage systems market has many growth drivers, there are certain major constraints hindering the market growth.
- Requirement of high capital investment for the deployment;
- All Battery energy storage technologies, including lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries, and lead-acid batteries, need high capital investment due to high-energy density and delivery of improved performance.
- Battery energy storage systems’ cost depends on the types and number of batteries used, and it also varies as per the intended application (residential, non-residential, and utilities) of the systems.
- Installation of battery energy storage systems in remote locations(include island and off-grid remote locations) is difficult as these locations are difficult to reach;
- Ambient conditions like temperature variation during the day and night
- Costly maintenance due to travel requirements to reach these locations
- Lack of installation infrastructure for equipment
However, there are some of the factors expected to continue the growth of the market;
- Increasing focus on rural electrification worldwide,
- Process of bringing electrical power to rural or remote areas,
- Need to have a reliable and uninterrupted power supply from the renewable and conventional sources,
- Increase in the overall system efficiency, and
- Economic savings across the system life cycle to fulfill this purpose
