How many battery factories will be built in 2022?

In total, at least 120 to 150 new battery factories will need to be built between now and 2030 globally. This is in line with the surging demand for Li-ion batteries across industries, which we project will increase 5-fold, from about $85 billion in 2022 to over $400 billion in 2030.

How big will lithium-ion batteries be in 2022?

A 2022 analysis by the McKinsey Battery Insights team projects that the entire lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery chain, from mining through recycling, could grow by over 30 percent annually from 2022 to 2030.

How many batteries are used in the energy sector in 2023?

The total volume of batteries used in the energy sector was over 2 400 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in 2023, a fourfold increase from 2020. In the past five years, over 2 000 GWh of lithium-ion battery capacity has been added worldwide, powering 40 million electric vehicles and thousands of battery storage projects.

When will battery storage capacity increase in the world?

In the STEPS, installed global, grid-connected battery storage capacity increases tenfold until 2030, rising from 27 GW in 2021 to 270 GW. Deployments accelerate further after 2030, with the global installed capacity reaching nearly 1300 GW in 2050.

How will The WEO 2022 impact battery storage?

The WEO 2022 projects a dramatic increase in the relevance of battery storage for the energy system. Battery electric vehicles become the dominant technology in the light-duty vehicle segment in all scenarios.

What is the 2022 biennial energy storage review?

The 2022 Biennial Energy Storage Review serves the purpose defined in EISA Section 641(e)(5) and presents the Subcommittee’s and EAC’s findings and recommendations for DOE.
