Overview

In 2024, China's energy storage battery exports continue to grow, driven by global energy transition and surging storage demand. According to industry estimates, total exports reach about 150 GWh, with Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific (excluding China) as the main markets.

Regional Breakdown

  • Europe (45%): Driven by energy security concerns post-Russia-Ukraine conflict and EU renewable energy targets, demand for residential and large-scale storage is robust. Germany, UK, and Italy are the top three markets.
  • North America (20%): The US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) stimulates storage deployment, but trade barriers slow growth relative to Europe.
  • Asia-Pacific (ex-China) (15%): Australia, Japan, and South Korea see rapid commercial and industrial storage growth due to aging grids and renewable integration needs.
  • Others (20%): Emerging markets including Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, though small in base, grow at high rates, e.g., Saudi Arabia and Chile for large-scale solar-plus-storage projects.

Outlook

Europe will remain the largest export destination for Chinese energy storage batteries, but shares of North America and Asia-Pacific are expected to increase. Companies should focus on localized production requirements and carbon footprint certification to navigate trade policy changes.
