Flow Battery Market by Battery Type (Redox, Hybrid), Material (Vanadium, Zinc Bromine, Organic, All-iron, Hydrogen Bromine), Storage (Large Scale & Small Scale), Use Cases (Peak Capacity, Energy Shifting, Frequency Regulation) - Global Forecast to 2030

The global flow battery market is valued at USD 0.34 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1.18 billion by 2030; it is expected to register a CAGR of 23.0% during the forecast period. Renewable energy storage is a key use of flow batteries. Many nations, including the US, India, China, and Japan, are revising their energy policies to incorporate a significant portion of renewable energy, such as wind and solar. Government support and resulting profits are driving increased investment in renewable energy. Renewable sources are now preferred for expanding and modernizing power systems worldwide. Initiatives like net zero emissions, carbon neutrality, and sustainable transportation are attracting investments in renewable energy generation.

“Zinc bromine segment is expected to grow at the impressive CAGR during the forecast period.”

Zinc-bromine flow batteries are perfect for energy storage in view of the multiple benefits. Their circulating electrolyte simplifies thermal control and the distribution of reactants throughout the cell. Also, they have wellsuit to specific energy and efficiency energy and can store and transform energy. These batteries are also made of cheap and easily available and those recyclable components are manufactured by means of standard practice. It can run under ambient temperature and have the benefits in the system configuration. Also they possesses satisfactory power density and could charge quickly and can endure deep discharge without getting ailing. Zinc-bromine flow batteries are already on the market so zinc-bromine flow batteries for energy storage solutions are feasible.

“Commercial & industrial segment is likely to hold the second largest market in 2024.”

Commercial & industrial sectors are impacted by the interrupted power supply, machine downtime, and blackouts. These power outages can severely hinder businesses, causing damage to the production lines and products, as well as delaying deliveries. Commercial & industrial energy storage prioritizes safety and cost-effectiveness and often finds flow batteries suitable. Flow batteries offer long cycle life, minimal environmental impact, high energy recovery rate, and large capacity, making them well-suited for extreme environments. Flow battery energy storage is highly suitable for industrial and commercial applications because it facilitates peak-valley spread arbitrage, provides intrinsic safety, and handles large capacity requirements. Flow batteries align well with the pursuit of secure and economical energy storage in industrial and commercial sectors.
