2023 energy storage lithium batteries

What is the total battery storage in use in the power sector in 2023?

In 2023, there were nearly 45 million EVs on the road – including cars, buses and trucks – and over 85 GW of battery storage in use in the power sector globally. Lithium-ion batteries have outclassed alternatives over the last decade, thanks to 90% cost reductions since 2010, higher energy densities and longer lifetimes.

How big is the battery market in 2023?

According to the IEA's Batteries and Secure Energy Transitions published on April 25, the global market for BESS doubled in 2023, reaching over 90 GWh and increasing the volume of battery storage in use to more than 190 GWh.

How many batteries are used in the energy sector in 2023?

The total volume of batteries used in the energy sector was over 2 400 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in 2023, a fourfold increase from 2020. In the past five years, over 2 000 GWh of lithium-ion battery capacity has been added worldwide, powering 40 million electric vehicles and thousands of battery storage projects.

What will energy storage look like in 2023?

At the beginning of each year, we pause to reflect on what has happened in our industry and gather our thoughts on what to expect in the coming 12 months. These 10 trends highlight what we think will be some of the most noteworthy developments in energy storage in 2023. Lithium-ion battery pack prices remain elevated, averaging $152/kWh.

How big is EV battery investment in 2023?

Global investment in EV batteries has surged eightfold since 2018 and fivefold for battery storage, rising to a total of USD 150 billion in 2023. About USD 115 billion – the lion’s share – was for EV batteries, with China, Europe and the United States together accounting for over 90% of the total.

Will energy storage costs remain high in 2023?

Costs are expected to remain high in 2023 before dropping in 2024. The energy storage system market doubles, despite higher costs. The global energy storage market will continue to grow despite higher energy storage costs, adding roughly 28GW/69GWh of energy storage by the end of 2023.
