Note on divergence: Estimates for the BESS market in 2026 vary: Mordor Intelligence projects USD 89.89 billion (including utility-scale projects), while Grand View Research estimates USD 17.4 billion (specific focus on BESS systems). This divergence arises from differing scope definitions. No single consensus figure is provided.
Trade & Supply Landscape
While verified trade data for storage batteries are not available in this report, the supply chain is heavily concentrated in Asia, particularly China, which dominates lithium-ion battery production. Key certifications such as UN 38.3 (mandatory for lithium battery transport) influence global trade flows. The IATA (2024) confirms that UN 38.3 requires eight specific tests including altitude simulation and thermal testing.
Technology & Standards Trends
Key international safety standards for storage batteries include:
- IEC 62619:2022 – Safety standard for lithium-ion batteries used in industrial and stationary applications, covering thermal runaway and BMS verification (International Electrotechnical Commission, 2022).
- UL 1973 – Primary safety standard in North America for stationary batteries, including solar energy storage and UPS (UL Solutions, 2022).
- UN 38.3 – Mandatory global transport certification for lithium batteries, requiring eight specific tests (IATA, 2024).
| Standard | Year | Scope | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| IEC 62619:2022 | 2022 | Industrial & stationary Li-ion | IEC (2022) |
| UL 1973 | 2022 | Stationary North America | UL Solutions (2022) |
| UN 38.3 | 2024 (current) | Global transport | IATA (2024) |
Market Landscape / Representative Manufacturers
The BESS integrator market is concentrated, with Tesla holding 15% market share and Sungrow 14% in 2024 (Wood Mackenzie, 2024). Other notable players include BYD, Fluence, and Huawei. In the OEM/ODM segment, manufacturers like HCC (a China-based OEM) provide custom battery packs for solar, golf cart, and other applications. The landscape is fragmented with many regional players focusing on specific verticals.

Outlook
The global storage battery market is poised for rapid growth, driven by the expansion of renewable energy and electric mobility. Lithium-ion technology will continue to dominate, but sodium-ion is emerging as a complementary solution for cost-sensitive applications. Safety standards will evolve, with updates expected for UL and IEC standards. Supply chain localization trends may reshape trade flows, while regulatory frameworks like UN 38.3 ensure safe transport. Risks include raw material price volatility and geopolitical trade barriers.
