Global battery energy storage installed capacity to rise sixfold by 2030, forecasts GlobalData

The global battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity is expected to continue to rise to manage growing demand from electrification, industry, and AI/data centers. Moreover, higher proportion of wind and solar increases intra-day variability, imbalance, and curtailment that batteries can mitigate economically. BESS additions are also driven by declining lithium-ion costs, stronger supply chains, and supportive policies. Against this backdrop, the global battery energy storage installed capacity is projected to see a sixfold rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 42% from 2025 to 2030, says GlobalData, a…
