After the External Energy Storage Conference: Japan’s Energy Storage Market Shows Positive Signs
On October 15, 2025, at 16:24, in a report by Carbon Market News, it was highlighted that the energy storage market in Japan is experiencing a surge. This growth is primarily driven by strong demand from the United States, Europe, and Japan, which are the main markets for energy storage systems. The demand for energy storage is expected to continuously increase, prompting companies to adapt and innovate in response to market demands.
Recently, a Chinese energy storage company has made significant strides in the international market, moving away from the traditional “big water storage” model. Instead, they are focusing on creating more sophisticated and precise deployments to meet the specific needs of overseas markets. This shift allows them to operate outside of the conventional “state-controlled” mode, enabling them to fully leverage the unique policies and market conditions in each region.
China’s energy storage firms are increasingly looking to expand their global presence, particularly in markets that offer unique policy incentives and business models, such as Japan. The company has not only established a solid foothold in Japan’s energy storage market but is also focused on fostering a steady flow of customers through tailored solutions that meet specific local demands.
Furthermore, Japan’s energy storage landscape is unique due to its high electricity prices and stringent energy policies, which create a distinct market environment compared to the U.S. and Europe. According to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), the average electricity price for Japanese businesses is projected to be around 0.20-0.25 USD/kWh in 2024, which is significantly higher than the 2-3 times lower prices found in China.
In major cities like Tokyo and Osaka, peak electricity prices can exceed 0.30 USD/kWh. This high cost of electricity drives demand for energy storage solutions, as businesses seek to manage their energy expenses more effectively. The energy storage market in Japan is becoming increasingly competitive, with various companies vying to capture the growing market share by offering innovative and efficient solutions.
As Japan’s energy market evolves, it is clear that the demand for energy storage will continue to rise, driven by both domestic needs and international market opportunities. The development of advanced energy storage systems will play a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and stability of Japan’s energy grid amidst changing market conditions.
In conclusion, Japan’s energy storage sector is poised for significant growth, making it an attractive market for energy storage companies looking to expand their operations internationally. With the right strategies and innovations, companies can capitalize on the evolving energy landscape in Japan and beyond.
