The U.S. battery energy storage system market size was valued at USD 225.5 million in 2020 and looks set to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8% from 2021 to 2027. The growing use of battery storage systems in industries to support equipment with critical power supply in case of an emergency including grid failure and trips is expected to drive the market. The rising need for uninterruptible power supply in data centers and telecommunications to enhance the business productivity is expected to drive the market over the forecast period 2021-2027. Large scale renewable energy installation in the U.S. economy will lead to enhanced deployment of battery energy storage systems in order to prevent intermittent power supply from renewable sources. Stringent government regulations regarding environment protection have resulted in increased use of solar and wind energy, which needs to be converted and stored in off-grid power storage systems.

In the U.S., the market value chain is characterized by equipment suppliers, battery energy storage manufacturers, and end-use markets. Battery energy storage system utilizes batteries, modules packs, connectors, cables, and bus bars as a part of the manufacturing process. Batteries form a major key component of the battery energy storage system.

These batteries find their application in areas including emergency power supply system, battery system for wind power output fluctuation management, and stand-alone PV systems. Advantageous features such as favorable cost, performance ratio, easy charging, and easy recyclability work in favor of these batteries, which is further expected to drive the market.

Continuous innovation in energy storage technology is driving the market. Industrial leaders such as U.S. based company Power Electronics, is innovating dual solar-inverter-plus-storage products, along with expansion of its solar charging offering. Demand for an alternative of Lithium-ion technology such as zinc technology is growing, especially in areas which are fire-sensitive where lithium-ion batteries are still seen as somewhat risky.
Battery energy storage systems are anticipated to have high growth and high penetration on account of easy charging properties coupled with re-energization of the electrolyte liquid resulting in low wastage. Moreover, increasing applications in backup power, portable power, and stationary applications is further expected to surge market growth.
