Summary

Despite the progress made to date by commercially available lithium ion (Li-ion), advanced lead-acid, flow, and molten salt batteries, the path toward the commercialization of new battery chemistries continues. Several new battery chemistries are projected to enter the global transportation and grid-tied stationary energy storage markets in the coming years, primarily in North America, Western Europe, and Asia Pacific. The next-generation advanced battery chemistries at laboratory-scale research or pilot-scale production levels today include lithium sulfur (Li-S), lithium solid-state (Li-SS), next-generation flow, and a liquid metal battery. Li-ion is currently the primary chemistry used for transportation and grid-tied stationary energy storage applications that require next-generation batteries. Yet, there will be limitations to Li-ion over time, including challenges related to energy density, safety, and costs. Li-S, Li-SS, next-generation flow, and other advanced batteries represent potential contenders that may begin to encroach on Li-ion market share as the world?s most flexible battery chemistry in the transportation and stationary energy storage sectors. Meeting and exceeding the safety expectations of Li-ion at lower price points will be paramount for the development of next-generation advanced batteries. According to Navigant Research, global energy capacity for next-generation advanced batteries is expected to grow from 30.2 MWh in 2019 to 6.5 GWh annually in 2025. This Navigant Research report analyzes the global market for next-generation advanced batteries in two key sectors: transportation (motive) and grid-tied stationary energy storage. The study provides an analysis of the market issues, including demand and commercialization factors, associated with next-generation advanced batteries. Global market forecasts for capacity by region, chemistry, and sector and revenue by region extend through 2025. The report also examines the key technologies issues related to next-generation batteries, as well as the competitive landscape.
