Global Flow Battery Market- Overview

Flow batteries are electrochemical cells that produce energy by dissolving chemical components in liquids. As with other conventional batteries, these batteries are also rechargeable. The most commonly used flow batteries are vanadium redox, polysulfide bromide, and zinc bromide. Flow batteries have become increasingly popular due to their long lifespan of 30 years, which makes them a good choice for long-term uses. They also have a quick response time as compared to their counterparts.

Global Flow Battery Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Increasing Shift Towards Renewable Energy Sources

Because of the increasing need for a constant electricity supply, the world is increasingly turning to renewable energy sources like solar and wind. The global flow battery market is expected to grow significantly due to this factor. Moreover, the government and private entities are also investing in building renewable energy infrastructure and energy storage systems in public and private spaces, which are likely to boost the market in the forecast period.

Technological Advancements in Flow Batteries

Flow batteries have recently gained popularity because they promise substantial reductions in costs, giving them an edge over solid-state storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries. As flow batteries are expected to grow in the upcoming years, manufacturers have been increasingly investing in research and development to enhance the potential of flow batteries. The development of high-density, high-capacity batteries is driving market growth, as several studies and innovations are underway. For instance, researchers at the University of Akron, US, have developed a stable aqueous catholyte for aqueous organic redox flow batteries, storing energy over 6,000 cycles for 16 years.

Restraints

Low Power Density as Compared to Conventional Batteries

Flow batteries have very low densities and relatively low charge and discharge rates as compared to traditional batteries. This is a significant impediment to the complete transition to flow batteries, negatively harming the market. Flow batteries have low energy density because of the limited solubility of ions in the electrolyte solutions. Furthermore, these electrolyte solutions are expensive fluids that are corrosive and toxic. Because of this, conventional batteries compete heavily with flow batteries, which hampers the market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Flow Battery Market

The unprecedented outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the manufacturing and production operations of many industries. This directly affected the global flow battery market, which saw a steep decline in demand. The demand for flow batteries decreased rapidly during the pandemic as governments started shifting their focus towards healthcare infrastructure, thereby delaying the installation of renewable energy sources. This resulted in the rapid decline for flow batteries. However, the global flow battery market is expected to recover in the post-COVID period as the focus on sustainability, and renewable energy infrastructure grows.

Global Flow Battery Market - By Type

Based on types, the global flow battery market is segmented into redox flow battery and hybrid flow battery. The hybrid flow segment accounts for the largest market share as it offers a wide range of benefits, such as high energy density and smaller size. The hybrid flow batteries also prove cost-efficient, which boosts its market growth. The most common forms of hybrid batteries are zinc-bromine, zinc-cerium, lead-acid, and iron-salt flow batteries, which are in high demand in the market.

Global Flow Battery Market - By Material

Based on materials, the global flow battery market is categorized into vanadium, zinc-bromine, and others. The vanadium flow battery segment accounts for the largest market share. This type of material is very self-contained as well as easy to deploy. The vanadium flow battery is rapidly gaining popularity as a highly effective energy storage method for storing renewable energy. This segment has a lot of room to grow over the next few years because it provides unlimited energy capacity with larger electrolyte storage tanks, which is the need of the future.

Global Flow Battery Market - Regional Insights

Geographically, the global flow battery market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle-East & Africa. Among these regions, the Asia-Pacific dominates the market and is also projected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Emerging economies like China, India, Japan, etc., are significantly investing in energy storage capacities and improvements in battery capacities, which is expected to drive the flow battery market in this region during the forecast period. On the other hand, North America also covers a substantial share of the market.
