Global Lithium-Ion Battery Capacity to Reach 5.4 TWh by 2036, but Gigafactory Growth Cools, According to IDTechEx
Global annual battery production capacity will rise from nearly 500 GWh in 2020 to nearly 5000 by 2036, finds to IDTechEx, with more than 50% of that capacity centralized in China. As of 2024, China controlled over 75% of total global battery production capacity, due to fast development of gigafactories and subsidization by governmental bodies.
Energy Storage Technology: A Vital Component of a Modern Power Grid
With enough energy storage on the grid, we will no longer have to size infrastructure to the highest peak. We can reduce system inefficiencies, improve utilization of assets, and lower the cost to the ratepayers.
Europe set to hit 100 GW of energy storage, with more than 115% growth expected by 2030
Since 2020, energy storage in Europe has experienced rapid growth, with each technology advancing at its own pace. Pumped-hydro storage (PHS) holds the largest share of installed capacity, at 50.6 GW, including 500 MW added this year in Belgium and Austria. Battery storage has expanded more rapidly, with over 4 GW of new utility-scale capacity in 2025 alone.

Solid-state sodium batteries could be safer, cheaper, more powerful option
Researchers at Western University are working on a new type of battery - called solid-state sodium batteries - that show considerable promise in addressing these challenges.
Battery Energy Storage: The Backbone of a Reliable Renewable Grid
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are transforming the clean energy landscape by stabilizing grids, reducing fossil fuel dependence, enabling renewable integration, and improving energy access. As costs fall and technology advances, BESS is becoming essential for a resilient, carbon-free future.
Battery Cell Costs Drop to Almost US$100/kWh, Despite Lithium Price Volatility, finds IDTechEx
IDTechEx has also noted a shift towards higher nickel content NMC, such as NMC 9.5.5, which has a nickel content of 90%, compared to 80% for the standard NMC 811. This allows for lower intensities of cobalt, which is a more expensive metal. This difference is especially notable during period of high cobalt prices.
