Global Sodium Sulfur Battery Market Overview Market Research Future (MRFR) reports that the Global Sodium Sulfur Battery Market is anticipated to achieve a CAGR of 15.50% during the forecast period (2016-2023). The global sodium sulfur market is mainly driven by the growing demand from the utilities sector and is likely to be driven over the forecast period by the increasing government efforts being directed at full electrification and maintenance of a stable electric grid nationwide. The global demand for sodium sulfur batteries has mainly grown due to the growing demand for energy storage devices that can store energy for a long period of time and can discharge it as needed. Global Sodium Sulfur Battery Market Leading Players analyzed are: Top players in the worldwide sodium sulfur battery market include Eagle Picher Technologies LLC, Sieyuan Electric Co. Ltd., POSCO, Ceramatec Inc., NGK Insulators Ltd., FIAMM Group, GE Energy Storage, KEMET Electronics Corporation, among others. Primary Drivers and Key Barriers Surge in renewable energy investment coupled with reduction in cost given the technological advancements and rising deployment are stimulating the growth of the sodium sulfur battery market. For providing quick and reliable power supply to households that don’t have connection to the national grid properly, electric utilities are working on connecting these households using isolated grids that are standalone. These power grids are involved in small scale power generation and are generally deployed in rural areas. Power generated via isolated grids has risen in popularity in Southeast Asia, as the government is increasingly striving to enhance the electrification rates. Apart from this, renewable energy resources like solar, hydro and wind, are being used for generating power, which helps the sodium sulfur battery market gain immense traction at a global level. Surge in infrastructure investments, expanding worldwide population, increasing demand for power along with eco-friendly energy storage are also boosting growth of the global sodium sulfur batteries market. Market Segmentation The global sodium sulfur battery market has been categorized depending on the power rating and application. With respect to the power rating, the market can be split into up to 10 MW, 11-25 MW, 26-50 MW, and above 50 MW. 26-50 MW segment happens to be the leading the market since these batteries enjoy strong demand in electric utilities. Also, such batteries have a longer cycle life, a higher current density, as well as simplified manufacturing scheme in large scale applications. Considering the application, the sodium sulfur battery market includes grid and standalone systems, space, transport and heavy machinery. Grid and standalone systems stand out as the leading segment in the market, given the high use of electric utilities in developing countries that are trying to adapt to the decentralized way of generating power.
