Description

The global Electrode Materials for Flow Batteries market size is predicted to grow from US$ 252 million in 2025 to US$ 665 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.5% from 2025 to 2031.

The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.

Electrode material is one of the key materials for flow batteries. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, in flow batteries, the energy storage active material is stored in the form of electrolyte in a storage tank outside the stack, and the electrode itself does not participate in electrochemical reactions, only providing a reaction site for the oxidation-reduction reactions of the positive and negative energy storage active materials. The electrode materials of flow batteries are mainly metal and carbon.

The main market drivers include the following:

The surge in demand for renewable energy

The growth of global wind power and photovoltaic installed capacity has driven the demand for large-scale energy storage.

Policy support and subsidies

China, Europe and the United States have introduced special policies for energy storage to accelerate the commercialization of flow batteries.

Technological breakthroughs and cost reductions

Carbon felt/graphite felt modification technology (such as oxidation treatment) improves performance, and large-scale production reduces costs.

Industry chain collaborative innovation

Electrode material companies cooperate with electrolyte and diaphragm manufacturers to optimize system efficiency.

The rise of demand for long-term energy storage

Flow batteries are suitable for energy storage scenarios of more than 4 hours, filling the gap in lithium batteries.

In-depth material modification

Improve electrochemical activity through surface treatment (such as nitrogen doping).

Carbon paper replaces carbon felt

Some companies have turned to carbon paper research and development to improve hydrophilicity and energy efficiency.

Accelerated localization

Companies such as Shanghai Carbon have made breakthroughs in the localization of carbon fiber felt and reduced dependence on imports.

Innovation of composite materials

Carbon/polymer composite materials take into account both conductivity and stability, becoming a research and development hotspot.

The market for flow battery electrode materials has benefited from the growth of renewable energy and technological iteration, and Chinese companies have taken a dominant position with their advantages in carbon-based materials. In the future, material modification, cost optimization and localization breakthroughs will become the core driving force to promote the widespread application of flow batteries in the field of long-term energy storage.
