9. In 2025, China's energy storage lithium battery shipment is expected to reach 180gwh
According to the prediction of GGII, by 2025, China's energy storage lithium battery shipment is expected to reach 180gwh, an increase of more than 10 times over the scale in 2020, with a five-year compound growth rate of more than 60%.
In the first half of 2021, the energy storage lithium battery market showed explosive growth, and the global and Chinese shipment scale increased by 80.2% and 101.8% respectively year-on-year. Since 2021, energy storage lithium battery enterprises have generally entered the state of full orders, insufficient capacity and planned significant expansion of production. At the same time, the policy layer defines the independent market position of energy storage and puts forward the installed capacity target of 30GW in 2025.
In addition, the power market-oriented reform is being further promoted, which is conducive to the real formation of the energy storage business model. Power generation side energy storage applications such as new energy consumption will become the market with the largest medium and short-term growth potential. GGII expects that by the end of the 14th Five Year Plan period, China's shipment of energy storage lithium batteries will reach 180gwh, with a five-year compound growth rate of more than 60%.
Favorable policies continue, and energy storage is about to usher in an inflection point
Since July 2021, the central ministries and commissions have intensively issued the guidance on accelerating the development of new energy storage (hereinafter referred to as the guidance) and the notice on encouraging renewable energy power generation enterprises to build or purchase peak shaving capacity to increase the scale of grid connection (hereinafter referred to as the notice), and proposed to realize the transformation of new energy storage from the initial stage of commercialization to large-scale development by 2025, The installed capacity will reach more than 30GW, and the comprehensive market-oriented development of new energy storage will be realized by 2030. Under the condition of carbon peak and carbon neutralization, the inflection point of new energy storage is coming.
From the perspective of competition pattern, the energy storage lithium battery market has not yet formed a stable competition pattern. The participants are mainly concentrated in China, Japan and South Korea, such as Panasonic, Samsung SDI, LGC, China's BYD (Freddy battery), catl, paineng technology, Zhongtian, GuoXuan, Nandu, Shuangdeng, etc.
