China's new energy storage installed capacity has ranked first in the world for four consecutive years, and is projected to exceed 370 GW by 2030.

According to incomplete statistics from CNESA DataLink's global energy storage database, as of the end of 2025, the cumulative installed capacity of global operational electricity storage projects has reached 496.2GW, with a year-on-year growth of 33.3%. Among them, the cumulative installed capacity of pumped hydro storage has dropped below 50% for the first time, decreasing by 11.5 percentage points compared to the same period in 2024. This means that the global electricity storage technology structure is accelerating towards diversification. New energy storage technologies are maintaining a high-speed growth trend, with cumulative installed capacity reaching 278.7GW/687.5GWh, an increase of 68.5%/79.9% compared to the previous year. CNESA also made predictions for the market scale of new energy storage in China from 2026 to 2030: in a conservative scenario, the cumulative scale of new energy storage is expected to reach 371.2GW by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 20.7% from 2026 to 2030; in an ideal scenario, the cumulative scale of new energy storage is expected to reach 450.7GW by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 25.5% from 2026 to 2030.
