IDTechEx Discusses Future Market Penetration of the Redox Flow Battery

星期四, 四月 25, 2024

BOSTON, April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The evolution of the redox flow battery over several decades has seen various chemistries being developed, commercialized, or even abandoned due to factors such as poor electrochemical reversibility and cross-contamination of active species. The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) has prevailed as the most widely deployed and commercialized RFB chemistry over the last decade; despite this, the volume of their installations for stationary energy storage applications is still minimal compared to the incumbent Li-ion battery, with economic barriers inhibiting their market growth. However, as suggested in IDTechEx's market report, 'Redox Flow Batteries Market 2024-2034: Forecasts, Technologies, Markets', a combination of factors including developments in vanadium markets, development of cheaper RFB chemistries, and future demand for long duration energy storage (LDES) technologies, could see increasing penetration of the redox flow battery in the stationary energy storage market over the coming years. These developments will aid in RFB market growth and IDTechEx forecasts that by 2034, this market will be valued at US$2.8B.

  • These developments will aid in RFB market growth and IDTechEx forecasts that by 2034, this market will be valued at US$2.8B.
  • As such, this can make it difficult for RFB players to penetrate the existing stationary battery storage market and acquire sizeable market share.
