Energy storage equipment export equipment manufacturing

Why are China's energy storage products so important?

Our insights reveal that Chinese manufacturers are likely to maintain their export advantage on energy storage products due to their high productivity and low costs. Elsewhere, factories outside of China still face various long construction cycles, slow production capacity ramp up, and unverified product quality.

Should China be worried about oversupply in the energy storage sector?

Indeed, most overseas production capacity has been allocated to electric vehicles (EVs), limiting the local supply flowing into the energy storage sector, thus leaving a huge opportunity for China’s exports. Nevertheless, Chinese manufacturers should be cautious of persistent oversupply in the energy storage segment.

What is the energy storage capacity in China in 2021?

In 2021, The energy storage capacity in China was 46.1 GW; the pumped hydro segment is dominating the energy storage market in China with a total installed capacity of 39.8 GW, which is around 83% of total energy storage capacity.

Which segment will dominate the electrochemical storage market in the coming years?

The electrochemical storage segment is expected to dominate the market in the coming years. The segment includes battery storage systems such as lithium-ion, lead-acid, flow batteries, etc.

What is China's first flywheel and battery storage integrated project?

In March 2022, China Huadian Corporation in Shuozhou began the construction of the high-power maglev flywheel and battery storage project. After completing the project will be China's first flywheel and battery storage integrated project. The project has a budget of CNY 33.72 million.
