Flow Battery Market Report 2024

The flow battery market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.66 billion in 2023 to $0.74 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including increasing demand for energy storage, growing awareness of climate change, scale-up and commercialization of technologies, supportive government policies, and the adoption of renewable energy sources.

The flow battery market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.19 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the rise of decentralized energy systems, energy transition policies, increasing digitalization, growing demand for energy storage solutions, and the need for grid stabilization. Major trends expected in this period include heightened deployment in utility-scale projects, the emergence of hybrid energy storage systems, a strong focus on sustainability and environmental impact, innovations in software and control systems, efforts towards standardization, and the development of supportive regulatory frameworks.

The growth of the flow battery market is expected to be propelled by the increasing adoption of solar and wind power. This trend is driven by the global demand for sustainable energy solutions to combat climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Flow batteries offer significant advantages for storing solar and wind energy, including scalability, long cycle life, and the ability to store energy over extended periods, thereby supporting grid stability and efficient integration of renewable energy sources. For example, the Energy Information Administration reported in January 2024 that solar power generation in the United States is forecasted to increase by 75%, reaching 286 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) by 2025, up from 163 billion kWh in 2023. Thus, the rising adoption of solar and wind power is a key driver for the flow battery market.

Leading companies in the flow battery market are focused on developing large-scale storage solutions for renewable energy to meet growing demand for sustainable energy storage. Large-scale renewable energy storage systems are designed to store energy generated from sources such as solar and wind on a significant scale. For instance, in October 2021, Honeywell International Inc., a US-based technology company, introduced new flow battery technology characterized by high energy density and a scalable modular design, enabling flexible deployment across various applications. This technology incorporates advanced chemistry and materials to improve efficiency, longevity, and require minimal maintenance.

In December 2023, AMG Critical Materials, based in the Netherlands, acquired vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) assets from the Voith Group, a German technology company, for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition positions AMG Critical Materials strategically by diversifying into energy storage solutions, enhancing its portfolio with innovative technology, and capitalizing on the growing market demand for grid-scale energy storage solutions.

A flow battery is a rechargeable battery type that stores energy in liquid electrolytes held in external tanks, enabling scalable energy storage solutions. These batteries function by circulating electrolytes through electrochemical cells to generate electricity, offering flexibility in capacity and power output suitable for diverse applications such as grid energy storage and renewable energy integration.

The main types of flow batteries are redox and hybrid. Redox flow batteries store electrical energy in chemical solutions housed in tanks and release it through a chemical reaction. Key components include membranes, power conditioning systems (PCS), heat exchangers, graphite felt, bipolar plates, among others. Materials used include vanadium redox flow batteries, zinc-bromine flow batteries, iron flow batteries, and zinc-iron flow batteries. These batteries support both compact and large-scale storage solutions and find applications across utility, automotive, residential, industrial, and energy storage sectors.
