The global energy storage market is poised to hit new heights yet again in 2025. Despite policy changes and uncertainty in the world's two largest markets, the US and China, the sector continues to grow as developers push forward with larger and larger utility-scale projects. Since 2024. . The energy storage sector maintained its upward trajectory in 2024, with estimates indicating that global energy storage installations rose by more than 75%, measured by megawatt-hours (MWh), year-over-year in 2024 and are expected to go beyond the terawatt-hour mark before 2030. By the end of 2023, 43 jurisdictions had in place policies for energy storage, including regulatory policies, targets, and fiscal and financial incentives.
