Energy Storage as a Service Market - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Opportunities and Forecast 2021 – 2028

The Energy Storage as a Service Market accounted for US$ 1,230 Million in 2020 with a considerable CAGR of 9.8% throughout the forecast period from 2021 to 2028.

Energy storage as a service (ESaaS) enables a facility to take use of the benefits of an energy storage system by signing a service agreement rather than acquiring the system.As energy storage becomes a more important part of the modern grid, a variety of economic models are becoming accessible. Energy storage as a service (ESaaS) is gaining popularity among service providers in particular. Energy and sustainability managers in corporate commercial and industrial (C&I) organizations are increasingly looking for cost-effective, tailored, and comprehensive energy solutions that ensure energy consumption reduction and cost savings without CAPEX or disruption to day-to-day operations.ESaaS is a promising concept that has the ability to attract financing and further grow the industry, as energy storage transactions were previously avoided by investors due to the complexity of cash flow.

Rising energy consumption and increased need for power management in the industrial and residential sectors are driving the global ESaaSmarket. Furthermore, the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of energy storage services are enticing customers all over the world.

Growing industrialization in developing economies like India, Brazil, and China are generating enormous energy demand, which is likely to propel the industry forward. The ESaaS model provides a variety of services, such as ancillary services and energy management services, that assist ensure consistent electricity supply, prevent blackouts, and lower electricity prices.

Due to the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the market has witnessedrelatively sluggish growth. The market was impacted by national lockdowns and travel restrictions. Various industry and commercial complexes were shuttered, resulting in the loss of jobs.

Market Dynamics

Aging infrastructure to transmit and generate power has forced utilities to upgrade and invest in the policies used for distributed energy resources (DER), which involve demand-response capabilities, renewable energy, and other energy-saving technologies to reduce and control energy use and better manage bills. However, rising investment in energy distribution systems would create demand for distributed energy resources (DER), which will be fueling the growth of energy storage as a service market. Moreover, growing energy utilization and rising popularity for power management in the residential, as well as industrial sectors, the convenience and cost-effectiveness accessible through the energy storage services, are attracting users globally.

Growing investment in renewable energy storage and sources solutions to propel growth of the market

Growing focus on integrating renewable energy, thermally activated technologies, energy storage, distributed generation, and demand reaction into the electricity distribution and transmission system has allowed further assets in renewable energy. However, the demand for energy storage systems is driven by the rising necessity to reduce the confidence in oil, gas, and coal for electricity generation. Moreover, renewable-energy power plants use storage technologies to deal with the changeable outputs provided by such energy sources, as these technologies smoothen out the electricity supply and ensure that it meets the demand.Furthermore, the immediate discharge of power to the grid enables storage technologies as well as supports the growth of the market. On the other-hand, fossil-fuel-based energy generation systems take longer to ramp up and distribute full power, as these technologies are helping in saving significant time and the quick response is crucial for ensuring the stability of the grid over times of unpredicted electricity demand. Thus, increasing investment in renewable energy storage and sources solutions will boost the growth of energy as a service market during the forecast period.
