United Kingdom Energy Storage Market outlook 2031
The United Kingdom energy storage market size was USD XX Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 21.34% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to favorable government policies, improving energy storage economics, increasing demand in renewable energy sector and regulations for energy storage system (ESS).
Energy storage is the storage of energy generated at a time so that it can be used later to reduce the imbalance between energy demand and energy production. Energy storage devices are often referred to as rechargeable batteries. Energy takes many forms, including electric potential, radiation, electricity, latent heat, high temperature, gravitational potential, and kinetic heat. Energy storage is the conversion of energy that is difficult to store into a more convenient or economical form of storage.
The UK has the major offshore wind installed globally since wind and its speed is uncertain in nature sometimes energy is produced in abundance and then lost. To maintain the constant supply of the renewable energy batteries and other energy storage methods are also used which has adverse effect for hours, days or sometimes weeks.
Supple technologies such as batteries are estimated to be the part of UK’s smart electricity grid and supporting the amalgamation of heat and transport technologies and low carbon power which can be anticipated to conserve UK’s energy system up to USD 60 billion by 2050.
Past year witnessed a drastic increase in demand for battery storage co-located with solar and wind and now the condition is applications are been submitted for the planning procedure of these projects.
The Covid-19 pandemic affected the demand and supply of the United Kingdom energy storage market size. Lockdown across the globe, supply chain disorders, and oscillating supply of raw materials forced manufacturers to shut down production leading to unfortunate decline in market growth. Launch of vaccines to combat the Covid-19 pandemic is expected to contribute to the market growth over the forecast period.
United Kingdom Energy Storage Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

United Kingdom Energy Storage Market Segment Insights
The batteries segment is anticipated to exhibit a high CAGR
On the basis of types, the market is categorized into pumped-storage, batteries, hydroelectricity (PSH), and others. The batteries segment is anticipated to exhibit a high CAGR during the forecast period due to irregularity of renewable energy in nature such as wind, solar, hydro, and improving energy storage economics are some of the factors that drive the market.
However hydroelectricity pumped storage (PSH) segment is expected to grow at a steady rate owing to continuous and increasing demand of energy.
The residential segment is expected to account for a key share of the market
In the terms of application, the market is fragmented into commercial, residential, and industrial (C&I). The residential segment is expected to account for a key share of the market in the coming years owing to increasing disposable income and housing segment, increasing purchasing power of the population escalated thus desires for better lifestyle.
On the other hand the commercial segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace due to increasing adoption of energy storage system (ESS) for the constant supply of energy for effective production yield.
