Flow Battery Market Detailed analysis and profiling Key market players by 2023

According to the new market research report "Flow Battery Market by Type (Redox, and Hybrid), Material (Vanadium, Zinc–Bromine), Storage (Compact and Large scale), Application (Utilities, Commercial & Industrial, Military, EV Charging Station), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2023 ", the flow battery market is expected to grow from USD 230 million in 2018 and reach a value of USD 946 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 32.7% during the forecast period

The utilities sector is among the early applications that use flow batteries. To date, most of the flow battery installations project across the world cater to the utilities application. Utility-scale systems require special functionalities and controls to ensure reliability, safety, and profitability. Energy storage provides efficient support during an emergency due to its ability to provide backup power and grid stabilization services. Energy storage through flow battery offers several benefits to the power grid as it provides high power capacity and storage as well as high cycle count necessary for utility-scale transmission and distribution. Recently, in May 2019, CellCube Energy Storage Systems Inc. (Canada) and Pangea Energy (UK) are working towards installing a vanadium redox-flow battery 50 MW/200 MWh energy storage system in Port Augusta, South Australia.

"Based on type, hybrid flow battery expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the flow battery market between 2018 and 2023"

Hybrid flow batteries have an additional advantage over standard flow battery designs. The zinc–bromine hybrid battery offers the highest energy density among other flow batteries. Also, due to the high cost and limited availability of vanadium material, many manufacturers are adopting the hybrid design for their flow batteries. In the recent years, several research programs are being conducted in a number of countries to explore the potential of the hybrid flow battery and also to build more compact and cheaper systems. Also, key players in the market have commercialized their hybrid battery for various applications such as utilities, commercial, residential, and others. This is likely to contribute to a high CAGR of the hybrid flow market in the near future.

"Based on application, Utility segment expected to hold the largest market share in the flow battery market during the forecast period"

Over the years, reliable energy and clean systems have become a necessity worldwide. Increasing penetration of renewable energy across the grid has, in turn, increased the need for efficient, flexible, and long operating life energy storage solutions. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projected that by 2050 the necessary amount of energy storage system in the world would be between 189 GW and 305 GW corresponding to an output variation rate of renewable energies of 15% or 30%, respectively. A flow battery, with all its attractive features has become the most preferred energy storage technology for utility-based storage as large-sale utilities require technologies that can cost-effectively store renewable energy for future grid-use at any location Flow batteries are being installed in combination with photovoltaics, wind turbines or diesel and biogas generators to store energy.

"APAC expected to be the fastest-growing market for flow battery during the forecast period"

APAC is expected to be the fastest-growing market for flow battery between 2018 and 2023. In the recent years, many countries—such as China, Japan, India, and Australia—are striving to boost their large-scale energy storage capacity through battery technologies that could, in turn, enhance electric stability. APAC has several operational flow battery installations with large power ratings. Australia has the most number of flow battery projects for utilities, residential, industrial, and commercial applications from various players across the world. Whereas, China holds the highest capacity of flow battery installed till date among other countries in the region. UniEnergy Technologies is working to deploy 10 flow batteries of 20 MW/80 MWh capacity for utilities application in China. Also, the growth in microgrid projects in India and Japan encourages manufacturers to cater to the needs of potential customers in the region. In India, smart grids and EV charging station industries are in developing phase and are creating significant opportunity for flow batteries.

ESS Inc. (US), GILDEMEISTER energy solutions (Austria), Primus Power (US), RedFlow (Australia), redT Energy (UK), SCHMID (Germany), Sumitomo Electric. (Japan), UniEnergy Technologies (US), ViZn Energy (US), and EnSync Energy Systems (US) are the major players operating in this market.
