New Energy Industry Insights: The Accelerating Growth of Energy Storage Batteries
As of September 22, 2025, the energy storage battery industry has seen significant advancements this year under the dual approach of “policy + technology.” The momentum in the sector has increased, particularly in the secondary market. Since September, the enthusiasm for energy storage concepts has remained high, driven by a growing demand in the broader market. Major cities are increasingly adopting energy storage solutions, with a focus on developing advanced production chains.
However, industry experts point out that despite this progress, the energy storage battery sector still faces substantial obstacles that need to be addressed. Continued policy support is essential for the industry, as it provides a strong foundation for the application of energy storage technologies.
On September 4, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the “2025-2026 Development Plan for the Electronic Information Manufacturing Industry.” The plan emphasizes strengthening artificial intelligence, optimizing storage solutions, and integrating advanced technologies into energy storage systems.
In March of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also issued the “2025 Industry and Information Technology Standards Work Points,” highlighting energy storage batteries as a key focus area. The goal is to enhance the standards and quality of energy storage battery systems.
On May 22, the China Automotive Technology and Research Center officially introduced the “Energy Storage Battery Testing Method,” marking a significant step in establishing a standardized testing framework for energy storage batteries. This method aims to address testing challenges and establish baseline criteria for the industry.
As a result, the energy storage battery sector is poised for rapid growth. Recent reports indicate that China’s energy storage battery output is expected to reach approximately 7 GWh in 2024, with projections of 18 GWh to 30 GWh by 2027 and 2028. The demand for energy storage batteries is anticipated to increase significantly, as indicated by recent data from GGII.
Furthermore, industry players are working on innovative energy storage solutions, with several companies already engaged in large-scale production. Notable advancements in technology and production capacity are expected to enhance the market’s ability to meet rising demand.
In the coming months, collaborations among leading manufacturers, researchers, and technology providers will be crucial to drive the energy storage industry forward. This cooperation aims to solidify the supply chain and ensure a stable and efficient production environment.
Experts believe that energy storage batteries will play a pivotal role in the transition to renewable energy sources, particularly in enhancing the reliability and efficiency of energy systems. The industry is set to experience transformative changes as it adapts to new technologies and market demands.
As we look ahead, it is clear that the energy storage battery sector is entering a phase of rapid development, driven by both technological advancements and supportive policies.
